Story
We have relocated and are unable to keep Chopper. Chopper is used to having an acre of land to run around in. I put this adopt request in prior to relocating and right after that Chopper broke is rear foot, don't know how came home from work and is foot was as big as a softball. Chop weighs 90 lbs and we have been unable to keep any kind of cast or splint on the leg, we cannot afford the kind of surgery that would fuse the bone together. I cannot bring myself to take Chopper to the pound so he is staying at a kennel at this time..I thought I would try one more time to get him adopted. Chopper is very loving and loyal. He is also very strong and is full of life.. He is fixed and is up to date on his shots. He is 10yrs old and I tried very hard to get his rear foot healed prior adoption. He get around very well on his three legs but surgery would correct his injury. Injury is to the hock joint...

Story
Tairn is a BIG goofy love bug. Approximately 2yrs old. He was found with 4 other Rottweilers that were abandoned in a California desert. With Shelters and rescues overwhelmed and having no extra room, a few of us went out a secured these with a temporary foster. They were held for the mandatory stray hold 14 day period and no owners stepped forward. Tairn has a very excitable personality with high energy. He needs a Rottie experienced owner/home who can continue with his basic training manners. No small kids, small dogs. or cats. Will be an awesome addition to an active family/home. No out of state adoption will be considered.

Story
Toffee is a amazing beauty. Approx. 3 or 4 yrs old. Friendly, lovable and very active. Toffee has loved everyone she has met so far. Good with male med/ lg dogs, no small dogs or cats. Toffee is very excitable and active so it is best she is not in a home with small children. Toffee was found in a So Cal desert with 3 other Rottweilers. She came in with Tairn. We do not know their history or why they were dumped out alone in the middle of the desert, but she has been nothing but a joy since arriving in our care. Toffee will need an experienced Rottie owner or family that is committed to her care and safety, along with continuing her training. She is currently working basic leash manners and acceptable indoor behavior.

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
*Orange County home preferred!!* I found Winnie and her sister together, abandoned in the Antelope Valley when they were three months old. I have since moved to Huntington Beach, and these amazing fosters are ready for their fur-ever homes at 7-8 months old! I have House trained them and e-collar trained them and recently spayed them. I have socialized them at the dog park and on walks and they are the sweetest souls on planet earth. It breaks my heart to see one of them go but because they are littermates and the same age, they need to be separated. Winnie has a lot of energy and will need a dog companion at her new home. She is still fearful of skateboards, but with patience, that can be trained! I’m asking for a high fee because she will come with training, a $1200 crate + blankets (she will chew through a wire crate), $200 e collar, microchip, spay, and food/toys/toothbrush/treats to get you through the first few weeks. Experienced inquiries only!
