Story
02/11/26 13:48Meet Truck, our handsome young powerhouse with a big heart and an even bigger personality! At just a year old, this sturdy Rottweiler is still learning the ropes of the world and looking for a savvy adopter who can help him channel his energy in the right direction.Truck loves to explore — his idea of a good time is going for a walk where he can sniff every tree and blade of grass along the way. He’s not overly into toys, but you’ll see his curiosity shine when he’s following an interesting scent.Truck is easy to leash up and handle in and out of his kennel, and he’s always ready for adventure. However, he’s very strong on leash and tends to pull hard, especially when he spots other dogs or small animals. He can get a bit too focused on them - so for now, he’d do best as the only pet in the home, with no small dogs or cats.When excited, Truck can get mouthy or jumpy — typical teenage Rottie behavior! He’ll thrive with an experienced owner who understands large breeds and can provide structure, continued training, and plenty of exercise.Truck has so much potential to grow into a loyal, loving companion for someone patient and dedicated. If you love a strong, spirited dog and are ready to help him become his best self, Truck might just be your perfect co-pilot!01/23/26 14:45On Needs Rescue for visibility.1/16/26Truck is a strong, energetic dog with a lot of personality and enthusiasm! He responds best to experienced handlers who can help him manage his excitement. He can be mouthy and reactive when overaroused, so meeting him before adoption—especially if you have other pets—is highly recommended. With guidance and structure, he has the potential to be a fun, engaging companion for the right home.01/31/26 10:25 MHAs of 1/13, Truck was noted to be dog-reactive, extremely strong, and prone to becoming mouthy when over-aroused; it was recommended that he meet any resident dogs prior to leaving the shelter. Since then (updates through 1/31), Truck continues to present as very strong and highly stimulus-focused, pulling hard on leash toward dogs, cats, and other environmental triggers, especially after being barked at. He is easy to leash/unleash and manage in and out of the kennel, but shows fixation on dogs in neighboring yards and possible prey drive, making small dogs or cats a poor fit. He is not currently in a playgroup due to this hyper-fixation. Truck prefers explori

Waldo (GA)

Rottweiler

Male, Young
Fremont, CA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Waldo was found as a stray in November 4 and was scheduled to be euthanized on December 2 despite being the friendliest cuddliest little meatball you will ever meet. My wife and I pulled him off the kill list so that he could have another shot at life and he is already becoming a wonderful part of our dog pack. We would keep him but we already have three dogs and don't have space for another. Waldo is about two years old neutered potty trained and absolutely LOVES playing with other dogs–he's as wiggly and happy as they come. He imprints quickly on people and becomes an instant lover–every time my wife and I sit down on our couch or lie down in our bed he comes up to cuddle with us / sleep next to us. He is just starting to learn his name–he comes when called in the house but he hasn't been off leash in the park and we are just beginning recall and obedience training. He is very submissive and responds well to corrections from other dogs and has already learned to walk in our pack. He is very treat motivated and already knows sit as well as paw! Waldo still has the playful friendliness and eager-to-please demeanor of a puppy so having an adopter who will help continue to socialize and train him will be key! We are helping Waldo's current guardian to rehome him. Please fill out our online application and we will forward to them. Adoption fee would be minimum $100 donation to Furry Friends Rescue. If you have specific questions please send them through and we will put you in touch with his current guardian.December 4, 2025, 12:50 pm

Story
🥭 Mango – The Rottie Queen of Love, Belly Rubs & Second Chances! 🐾👑 At 5 years old and 86 glorious pounds, Mango is basically a weighted blanket with paws—calming, cozy, and impossible not to fall in love with. Rescued from the Visalia Shelter, this girl has a past she’s not talking about, but let’s just say… she’s earned her crown as the Queen of Gentle Hearts. If you raise your hand too fast, Mango might hit the ground and roll belly-up—not for drama, but because somewhere along the way, love wasn’t always what she got. Now? All she wants is to soak up every ounce of kindness she can find (preferably while laying upside down). ✨ What makes Mango extra mango-licious: Professional-level snuggler with built-in heater functionality Gives the kind of soulful stares that make you question everything else in life Zero chaos, 100% chill—perfect for couch dates and slow morning walks Knows how to take up space and your heart A lover, not a barker—unless you’re late with dinner, in which case, fair game Mango is not here for drama. She’s here for love, snacks, belly rubs, and maybe a soft couch with her name on it. She’s a survivor, a softie, and a total sweetheart who’s ready for her happily-ever-after. Ready to give this queen the life she’s always deserved? Come meet Mango. Warning: You will fall in love. 🐶💕

Aria is a really sweet and silly girl. She gets along with other dogs, cats, and children very well. She can be a bit shy at first but once she warms up to you she will give you endless love. She loves to lounge on the couch or on the bed, but also has endless energy to play and train. She’s fully potty trained, knows basic obedience, and knows fun tricks like shake. She hasn’t been spayed yet. She’s a smart dog with some sneaky habits.
