Story
Brave is a 4 year old Rottweiler. She has had obedience training and does great with a training collar. She is house trained, lives with another dog, two adults, and two children. She is a very touchy, feely girl and loves to be close to you at all times! She is a ball of energy and loves to test her limits. We have heartbreakingly decided that our girl deserves to be with someone who can give her the time and energy that she deserves and desires.We are only requesting an adoption fee to ensure that she goes to a happy home where she will flourish and be kept safe.

Story
When I went and met with Sadie on Friday, 07/24/2026 she was friendly and had tail wags. She would sit and stay for me as well as take treats semi-gently. She would wag her tail a lot and stick her tongue out like she was smiling. When I saw her again, Saturday, 07/25/2026 I had the same experience. On Sunday, 07/26/2026 I went in and saw Sadie again and did a behavior evaluation. She allowed me to open and manipulate her mouth, manipulate her legs and paws as well as pet her down her back/sides. I had no negative reactions from Sadie.

Story
In the last year, this poor boy has been through a lot. Finn’s owners passed away three months apart, leaving him to go home with their adult son. Within that time (around a year), the son developed liver failure and has been in and out of the hospital. Due to the son’s sickness, Finn was not adequately cared for. Around mid-February, Finn was not able to open his jaw, leaving him unable to eat. With the help of MARR and generous family friends, Finn was seen by a vet and with the help of meds, Finn is able to open his mouth and eat fairly normally now. He is now in the care of guardian angles who are doing all they can to care for him. During Finn's first vet visit, it was determined he likely developed Masticatory Myositis or MMM due to muscle loss on his head and jaw. Finn has improved and put some weight on. He has also undergone heartworm treatment which is hard on dogs. Because of the discomfort he's been experiencing, Finn has recently shown signs that he is uncomfortable with certain types of handling, especially around his face and head. We believe pain has played a significant role and finding the right environment to continue his care is incredibly important. Finn has successfully lived with dogs and currently lives with 6 cats. As always, slow and proper introductions will be best for Finn. He would likely not be good with small children. He will do best with someone who has experience with large breeds, rottweiler specifically, would be best. Finn needs security, healthy boundaries, and consistency to become his best self. We have faith in this special boy. Are you his furever angel?

Story
Nipsey is an amazing boy! He is goofy and joyful while also extremely smart and agile. Everyone who has met him has loved him! He has been around numerous children and adults with no issues, although when a group of children were being loud and jumping around in the next room, he got nervous and barked. He will do best in a home with respectful and Rottie-savvy children. He has been a joy to have in our home these past few months as he has recovered from pneumonia as well as a cryptorchid neuter. Through all of the long car rides, Vet visits, x-rays and numerous rounds of meds, Nipsey has been patient and agreeable with all of it. He is a normally quiet dog, using his eyes to tell you what he needs, but when an ambulance or firetruck goes by, he will howl along with their sirens, it is the cutest! It has been wonderful watching him go from a lethargic, extremely sick dog that was literally one day away from euthanasia to this happy-go-lucky, fit, BIG boy that moves like he is 30 pounds less than he actually is. He loves being fed but will patiently sit, wait for his bowl to be filled, and will not eat until he hears “ok.” He has not shown any food aggression and can be hand-fed. Nipsey will happily load into his crate and patiently wait to receive a treat for doing so. He will often choose to take a nap in his crate or will retreat there when his foster is working and making too much noise. Nipsey loves eating the water from the hose and sees anything ball-shape as a toy to play fetch with. He will share his toys with dogs but prefers to keep everything for himself. His foster’s resident dog has been very patient as he learned how to play with dogs and not just play fetch with his humans. He recently engaged in a game of chase with his foster’s dog, it was fun to watch it evolve. This Good Boy loves his cuddles but will be respectful if your hand gets tired. He will either lay next to you or find something to entertain himself with…he really just wants to be near his humans. He is good on a leash, initially, he is very excited but he knows heel and will swing around next to you and sit until you lead him on. He could use more practice but we have had a lot of really great walks. He is housetrained and keeps his bed clean. Nipsey is a dream dog! He is joyful, happy, easy-going and kind. He has not growled once in the 4 months he has been with his foster. He loves his foster’s son who will let him into the yard so he can be the first to greet his Foster Mom when she comes home from work. The wiggle in his nubbin and smile in his eyes makes any problem of the day disappear. Nipsey will be a wonderful addition in any Rottie-savvy and quiet home. Get your throwing arm ready for a boy who loves to play fetch and is as goofy as can be!

Story
Mantis appears highly placeable and suitable for a family environment, including a multi-dog and multi-child household. She presents as affectionate, adaptable, social, very sweet, playful, and eager to please. Overall temperament observed was very positive. She does very well with both women and men during evaluation and was reported to have done well in her previous adoptive home with 6+ children ranging from toddler age through teenagers. During her evaluation, she allowed full body handling and petting with no signs of discomfort, fear, or aggression. She appears confident but not dominant and settled appropriately after initial exploration of space. She seems emotionally balanced and social. She appears likely to bond closely with her people and shows signs she would enjoy physical affection and closeness (“Rottie lean” personality).
