Story
She’s a very good dog. I just work too much for her needs. She is very attached to my hip and loves to watching me and following me everywhere. She loves car rides, she loves any attention you can spare. She is a very nervous and shy/fearful dog. She has never attacked or bit anybody. She makes herself small and hides away when she’s scared. She flinches when you move too quick, she doesn’t like loud noises. She has had a hard life and she needs someone who can help her and unfortunately I am not the person for her and it breaks my heart. She needs patience, a two person household or someone who works from home. She is the best girl, who deserves the world.

Story
I rescued Tamale while on a fishing trip at Punta Banda, Baja Mexico near Ensenada. She had been abandoned there many weeks prior my arrival and was extremely skinny. I fed her two tamales and after took her home. My main dog established his dominance and they do well together. She stays outside in a dwelling below the house. Through a series of daily raw beef bones and good diet and she has recovered amazingly and is quite strong and active. She is not house trained but learns quickly. She loves to run, hunt and play fetch. She is very friendly to everyone including kids. She doesn't bark much as some dogs do. She weighs appropriately 115lbs and her estimate age is 1 year. As a result of a financial crisis and a new work position requiring frequent travel forces me to put her up for adoption. She has not been vaccinated and has not seen a doctor due to my finances. I believe she is not fixed. She's a beautiful German Rottweiler that deserves a good owner and family to share her love.

Story
I’m a 5-year-old Rottweiler, about 75 lbs, and my story is a tough one. My owner left me at a boarding kennel and never came back. It’s been almost 3 years now that I’ve been waiting behind these same walls, hoping someone would give me a second chance. Despite everything, I’m still a sweet soul who just wants love, kindness, and a home to call my own. I have found a rescue (The Heroic Tail) that will help me. They will do my adoption and provide free training if needed. They just want to see me out of the kennels and in a loving home. If you would like to meet me please apply on the website or message them with questions about me.March 8, 2026, 8:45 pm

Rottweiler

San Ysidro, CA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Amigo is approximately 5 years, around 40 pounds, neutered, fully vaccinated & microchipped Rotti mix breed. He is crate trained but needs patience and practice with potty & leash training~ soon he will be a pro of all three!! He is affectionate, playful but can be a bit nervous when first met with unexpected changes. Amigo gets along well with most dogs (but also a little dominant so we suggest he be paired with a female companion), adults and older children alike. Given his adaptability, he should be able to learn your family’s routine rather quickly and become part of the gang in no time!!! Amigo was rescued from the streets of Tecate very neglected, malnourished, suffering with TVT and a broken paw due to an old injury. Fortunately he is now flourishing under the loving care of a foster. His TVT was treated and while he still limps; he is pain free (Feb 2024) Amigo has a lot of love to give and longs for a family who can provide him patience, affection and attention he craves. He deserves a warm and loving home where he can feel cherished as a member of the family!!!
