Rottweiler puppies and dogs in Sykesville, Maryland

This gorgeous dog is Kota, a 6yr old, spayed female Rottweiler. She needs a home with no cats and no small animals. Kota is a true joy to have with her sweet, loyal and obedient personality. Kota hangs out with us in our front office, greeting our volunteers and visitors.  Kota is laid back and well behaved inside. Three play sessions a day are enough to keep her happy. She also likes walks outside to explore when it is not too hot.  She likes to run around with a toy and tries to get you to chase her and get her toy. She likes to growl and play keep away, but because of this, we practice a lot, firmly telling her to give the toy to us. She has also growled over her food. For this reason, Kota needs an adult home or a home with older teenagers who can be a part of her training around her food. She is doing amazing with this training.Kota has been out with multiple dogs and has done well. She wants to play right away. She has done well with playful, non-challenging male dogs.   She needs a calm, controlled introduction to a new dog because she has a growly and confident playstyle that the new dog needs to get used to.  You can bring your dog by during our animal viewing hours below to see if they will play.Kota is very housebroken and great on leash. However, she does have a prey drive to small animals, especially squirrels. She needs a strong owner in case she sees them before you do. She will lay down next to you inside while you relax and she will give a little whine if she need to go out to go potty. Kota knows sit, down, paw, other paw, drop it, wait, leave it, stay, cookie, outside, go for a car ride, hungry and 'Go say hi'.  She is such a smart girl!   She needs continued training reminders around her toys and food to practice her skill of 'drop it'.We are looking for a home that will be a good match to help Kota succeed in her training. If you are confident and able to tell Kota what you want from her, she will be an amazing companion for you. You must be confident, consistent and firm in your training.

The groomers have not had any problems with her baths and nails, always reporting good behavior.  Redd loves to be loved and will love you right back. If you need a hole dug, she's your girl!  She will not climb a full flight of stairs but two or three is not a problem.  She needs some more practice on a leash, but doesn't do terribly bad."   Redd Potato's guardian explains why she has made the difficult decision to rehome her:   "Interdog Aggression - raised with canine sister she was found and adopted with; LOVED each other until two weeks ago.  Now they growl at each other and must be kept seperate." BITE/SCRATCH/LUNGE/ATTACK INCIDENTS:  On 12 & 13 July 2023, Redd Potato bit her canine sister, the bite broke the skin, but animal control was not involved.  Redd Potato's guardian explains the circumstances surrounding the incidents:  "1st (incident) - Dogs were playing in the yard, and became overly aggressive with one another; both came out with injuries (bites and scratches).  They were fine the remainder of the night and next morning with each other.   2nd (incident) - The following night, after the girls had played together and eaten dinner, I was inspecting her for bites and scratches to apply first aid to, when her sister walked over and they lunged at each other and began to fight again. They separated willingly.  New scratches and bites from this incident were treated." Redd Potato's guardian offers a brief medical history: "Scrathes and bites from two dog incidents are healing are healing well.  Waiting for fur to grow back over where vet shaved and treated.  Cutaneous histiocytoma on chest should disappear on its own within a month or two." Redd Potato's guardian states the following regarding children:  Redd Potato lives with a 15yo child, but her guardian doesn't recommend her living with children, stating "Wags tail, wants attention". Redd Potato's guardian states the following regarding dogs:  Redd Potato lives with her canine sister, but her guardian doesn't recommend her living with dogs, stating "At most recent vet visit, left them [other dogs] alone.  If dogs walk by the house, she will bark at them from our fenced yard."  Redd Potato's guardian states the following regarding cats:  Redd Potato hasn't lived with cats, so her guardian doesn't recommend her living with cats, stating "Barks at cat that walks outside of fence." Redd Potato's guardian describes her as: Very active Barks alot Playful Friendly Affectionate Fearful Indoor dog Nervous House-Trained Crate-Trained Digger Redd Potato's guardian describes her ideal future home:  "No dogs, no other pets, no young children, fenced yard."

Athena is very sweet 6 year old Rottweiler. Eager to please, loyal, and protective. She loves cuddling, playing with any kind of ball and being at the center of all the action. We took her in about a month ago when we found out the family member who owned her previously was not caring for her appropriately. Athena was never properly socialized or trained and needs an experienced owner able to take the time to train and excercise her. We would not recommend a home with small children or other animals.

Just like the classic debate- Left Twix versus Right Twix... both sides together ARE THE BEST!!! I am the same way, I am sweet on one side and salty on the other- together we are perfect! I have a tale to tell, however, none of it matters anymore because I am here right now to tell you- the best is yet to come! I am a big love bug, and although I can be nervous at first- I settle in quickly to be just a big couch potato! I am good with other dogs and would love to have a friend for life in my forever home. I am good with calm older dogs, not much for puppy energy all.the.time... :) I love kids, and would be great with school aged/teenagers (and not many others LIKE teenagers so I can be their buddy :) and would be good in a calmer/quieter home. I want so much to please my family and will look to you for love and attention. I also need a strong leadership family- I have tried to take over control in my first adoptive home and it was not appreciated. SO, you need to be my boss, it's not hard- just let me know you are someone I can trust to keep me safe and take EXCELLENT care of me- with love and more love and I will LET you be in control. Simple as that :) I am a big boy, about 75#, with GORGEOUS colors and markings. I will melt your heart when you look into my amber eyes and into my sweet soul. So don't hesitate, ADOPT ME!! I need to stay in TX so my rescuers can keep tabs on me and see me every once in awhile, cause they are going to MISS ME!!! But, adoption is why I am here, so they will get over it!

Introducing Reyna, the regal and affectionate Rottweiler mix who lives up to her name as the Queen of the Good Girls. At 2 years old, Reyna is ready to reign supreme in her forever home, surrounded by love and care. Reyna's journey began when she was found on the highway, abandoned and in desperate need of help. Despite her challenging start in life, Reyna's resilience and loving nature shone through. She captured the hearts of those who discovered her, and her transformation began. This beautiful girl is a Rottweiler mix, displaying the distinctive markings and strong physique of her breed. While her exact mix may be a mystery, her gentle and loving demeanor sets her apart as a special companion. Reyna is best suited to a home with older kids who can understand and respect her needs. Although she is a sweetheart, her size and strength may be better suited to older children who can handle her with care. She is not compatible with cats, so a feline-free household is necessary. When it comes to her fellow canines, Reyna prefers larger dogs. A meet-and-greet is recommended to ensure compatibility and a harmonious living environment. Reyna thrives on positive interactions and socialization, making her a wonderful companion for those with existing canine family members. This majestic girl is crate-trained and does not experience separation anxiety. She is comfortable spending time in her crate and will appreciate having a safe and cozy space to call her own. Reyna has already learned the simple trick of sitting for treats, showcasing her intelligence and willingness to please. Reyna has a list of favorite things that bring her joy. She relishes car rides, delighting in the wind blowing through her fur as she accompanies her family on their adventures. Rolling in the grass and exploring the neighborhood during walks are among her cherished pastimes. Reyna loves running and exercising her energetic nature, so an active lifestyle is essential for her well-being. When it's time to unwind, Reyna appreciates soft blankets and toys that provide comfort and entertainment. She adores spending time with her beloved humans, soaking up their affection and companionship. Reyna is a loyal and devoted companion, always ready to be by your side. While Reyna has her preferences, there are a couple of dislikes to note. She is not fond of cats, and water is not her favorite element. Understanding and respecting these preferences will help ensure a harmonious home environment for Reyna. Reyna's story is one of resilience and triumph over adversity. From her initial discovery, where she was found dumped on the highway, to her miraculous transformation into a loving and gentle soul, she has shown incredible strength and a capacity for love. If you're searching for a royal canine companion, Reyna is waiting to be crowned the queen of your heart and home. With her regal presence, gentle nature, and unwavering loyalty, she will bring immeasurable joy to your life.
