Story
Meet Coco, a resilient and loving 9-year-old Rottweiler with a heart as big as her spirit. Despite living with Masticatory Muscle Myositis, an immune system disorder that affects her jaw muscles, Coco remains a joyful and athletic companion. This condition means she can’t open her mouth all the way, so she’s on a special home-cooked diet rich in meat and eggs to keep her strength up and takes a daily pill to manage her condition. Coco adores her walks and can be a bit of a puller on the leash if she spots another dog, but she’s always great with people. She’s super athletic and enjoys her time outdoors. Although she can’t play with toys or chew on treats due to her condition, she loves liquid treats and is happy and content in the car. A total sweetheart with a loving demeanor, Coco is also fine being left alone for periods. She’s looking for a compassionate home where she can continue to thrive and enjoy her walks, special meals, and the affection she so generously gives. If you’re ready to provide a warm and understanding environment, Coco will repay you with endless love and loyalty.

Fortunately, a kind-hearted good Samaritan stopped to help him, bringing him to an emergency hospital where it was discovered he had a fractured hip requiring surgery. Despite his injuries, Zuko’s sweet nature shone through. Transferred to a shelter, Zuko was placed on red alert due to his urgent medical needs.

With love and patience, he’s transformed into an athletic, curious, and gentle soul who’s ready to share his heart with a forever family. Why Zuko Stands Out Zuko is a quiet, affectionate young dog who loves nothing more than belly rubs and bonding with his people. Though he can be shy at first, it doesn’t take long for him to warm up, rewarding your kindness with tail wags, kisses, and his playful spirit. He’s incredibly well-mannered, gentle, and has a fun-loving side that shines when he’s with other dogs—Zuko loves to play! The Perfect Home for Zuko This charming pup is looking for a loving home where he can continue to thrive and come into his own.

Story
I am an affectionate goofy handsome boy. I love food and have been told that I am very trainable. I was also told those two things go hand in hand; whatever that means. I know how to sit, wait, touch, down, and more! My best trick is that when I am lying down, you can put a treat on my paw, tell me to wait, and most of the time I won't eat it until you tell me “Get it." I really like going on walks two or three times a day and I get pretty excited about cats and squirrels (possibly too excited), but I also like snoozing for hours and will often snore like a grandpa when I do. I am always up for belly rubs and scritches, and I love to play with my squeaky toys, my tug toys, even dryer balls! I have a big smile and love to get my teeth brushed—mostly because I get a dental treat afterward. I’m great on car rides and I love going to new neighborhoods to sniff my way through them. I also love, love, love my family and I have been a great energetic happy dog for them over the past 3.5 years, but circumstances for all of us have changed since we had to move after the fire. But now I get the chance to find a new family that I can love and will love me. I loved my daycare people too, and I am ok with some dogs but need to be the only pet in the home. I will do best with an experienced dog person as I am a bit anxious with all of our recent changes. I really hope we get a chance to meet. If you are interested in meeting Birdie, please download the Adoption Questionnaire, fill it out and email it back to us at info@farescue.org or fax (310) 362-0321. You can also meet this and/or other available dogs at our weekend adoptions. [Birdie is 4 years old and weighs 61 lbs.] (2504)

Adopting a Rottweiler

Frequently asked questions about acquiring an Rottweiler - the pros and cons of adopting versus going through a breeder, and associated costs.

A Rottweiler costs around $300 when adopted from a rescue or shelter. If you buy one from a breeder, it can cost between $1,000 and $3,000.

The easiest way to adopt a Rottweiler is through a rescue that specializes in Rottweilers. A great place to start is by starting a breed search on Adopt a Pet. The search will show you all the available Rottweilers in your area.

The cost of a Rottweiler can vary depending on factors such as the dog’s pedigree, lineage, breeder reputation, location, and whether the dog is intended for pet or show purposes. On average, Rottweiler puppies from reputable breeders can cost anywhere from $1,000 to $3,000 or more. Show-quality Rottweilers with pedigrees from champion bloodlines may be priced higher. Adopting a Rottweiler from a rescue organization or shelter may be more affordable, with adoption fees typically ranging from $100 to $500.

Rottweiler fun facts

Fun Facts:

In the mid-20th, Rottweilers found favor with humans as police dogs. Their great intelligence, strong musculature, and intense guarding instincts have been put to excellent use in the military, on the police force, and in therapy and service capacities.

When the Romans stopped in Germany, in an Alps town full of large houses with red-tiled roofs, they named the town das Rote Wil. “Rote" for red, and "Wil" for villa. Their dogs bred with local dogs there to create the breed known today as the Rottweiler.

Rottweilers have been given a sweet image by Alexandra Day's children's book series Good Dog, Carl. The series is about the fun adventures Carl and his infant mistress enjoy after the mother leaves, having asked Carl to watch over the baby.
