My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi. Hello. It’s me. Ferdinand 💙
Yes, that Ferdinand, the one who stops to smell the flowers… and then accidentally knocks over the vase because I forgot I’m 85 pounds 🫣 Let’s get the important stuff out of the way! I’m a 1 year old Rottie/Doberman, neutered, house trained, crate trained, heartworm negative, fully vetted, and very much a good boy ☺️ I love men 🙋‍♂️, women 🙋‍♀️, dogs🐶, car rides 🚙, couch romping 🛋️, and carrying my babies 🧸 (small stuffed animals that are my emotional support children). Oh, and my babies? They go everywhere! Crate, Couch, Yard, and Kennel room If you find a stuffed animal in your shoe 👞 that was me. You’re welcome 😉 Now let me tell you my glow up story ✨ When the rescue tagged me, I was in rough shape 😔 Like, unrecognizable. My legs were swollen, my skin was bleeding, I couldn’t even hardly walk on my own, I was quiet, defeated, and tired in a way no dog should ever be🥺
What happened to me wasn’t an accident.
It was neglect 😔 the kind that doesn’t happen overnight, but over time when basic care, comfort, and love are missing. I had been hurting for a long time, and it showed in every step I struggled to take! Nobody knew what I’d turn into. Honestly… I didn’t either 😕 But then my foster stepped in and worked actual magic 🪄 Healing, patience, love, and consistency later 💥 boom. Here I am! Healthy, Happy, and Handsome ☺️Night and day difference 🌙🌞 I enjoy chest scratches, belly rubs, and very serious snuggle sessions that last approximately 10 seconds before I dramatically exit✌️I have a Medium energy level making me perfect for anyone! I love walks, learning the neighborhood, playing with dog friends, and then collapsing on the couch like I just ran a marathon 💨Whoever adopts me is going to be one incredibly lucky family 🍀You’re not just getting a dog! you’re getting a survivor, a comedian, a professional couch romping specialist, and the most loyal shadow you’ve ever had 🥰
So… what do you think?
I’ll bring my babies 🧸 You bring the couch!

More about this rescue

R.E.A.L Rottweiler Rescue was founded in 2003 by a couple with a passion and love for the Rottweiler breed. We are an all volunteer based 501c3 non-profit rescue organization. Our primary focus has been on Rottweilers, but we also rescue medium and large sized dogs of all breeds. We take in homeless rottweilers and work with them in our homes to assess personality, temperament, training and needs. Then place them up for adoption. Our goal is to find not just any home for each dog, but the perfect match for both the dog and its new family. To date, R.E.A.L. has had over 2000 successful adoptions!
