On November 7, 2025, a man on his way to work passed a deceased Rottweiler puppy on the side of the highway near Eloy. This stretch of road has no houses or businesses for miles. About half a mile further, he spotted two more puppies alone in the desert near the roadway. He pulled over to help them and, after a couple of hours of trying, was finally able to coax both into his car. He took them to the shelter in Apache Junction, but they told him they had no space and suggested he either take them to Casa Grande or contact us—so he chose to call us.
The puppies are approximately 6-8 months old and appear to be littermates. They are fearful of people and have no training at all.. The male is slowly warming up and will allow brief petting, but the female, Jasmine, is still very fearful and will not allow handling. However, both puppies are scheduled to go to our Trainer Amanda in New River on December 1 to start a board and train program. This will give them the best opportunity for success and allow their new owners to enjoy a puppy who already has all their obedience training can walk on a leash properly pays attention and is the best version of themselves. If you ask me, that's a pretty great bonus! We're hoping that we are able to choose who their new owners will be prior to them finishing their training program so that they can meet Amanda and go through a couple of handling lessons with them before they go to their new homes. Training sessions will be free for their adopter and you can go to as many training sessions as you feel you need for free as long as you do the training sessions at Amanda's location. How great is that?
Our Adoption Process... If you are interested in adopting one of our fun loving not so rotten rotties, you will be asked to fill out a questionnaire that will allows us to get to know you better and to make sure the dog you are looking at is a good fit for your family and lifestyle. You can access our questionnaire by going to our website, www.rottenrottie.com click on the forms tab, and fill out the questionnaire and submit it online. After we review your answers, if we feel that the dog that you are interested in, is not a good fit for you and your family, we may recommend a different rottweiler companion. After we determine which Rottweiler(s) is the best for you, we will set up a time so that you can meet him or her at their house, where they will feel most comfortable and act as they normally do. We will require a home check to make sure the dog is going to a good home. An adoption contract will be signed to finalize the adoption and we do ask for a rehoming fee of $500 for most adults, $350 for most of our seniors 6 years and above for any rottweiler mix of any age (except puppies) . Our fees for puppies fluctuate depending on how much we had to invest into them or their litter, and weather they are purebred or a mix. These funds are necessary so that our organization may continue to rehome rottweilers. ALL of our dogs are sterilized, fully vaccinated and microchipped, heartworm tested negative and come with a collar and a leash. We have also addressed any injury or illness that they had when they came to us, or received in foster care. These problems will be disclosed to the adopter prior to adoption.
Please be advised that in almost all cases we will not adopt our dogs to folks who live in different states. On rare occasion, if we feel that it is a PERFECT for both you and the dog, we sometimes will break that rule for our neighbors who live in Las Vegas. If you live in Vegas and would like us to consider you, please fill out an application.
They are good with each other, but I don't know that they are social with other dogs. I'm sure they can be after they have been trained.
