Story
New Dog Alert: Meet Bunga! 🐾 Can we take a moment to appreciate just how handsome this guy is? 😍 Bunga is a 5-year-old Rottweiler who came to us through no fault of his own. Shelter life has been a big adjustment for him, and he’s feeling scared and a little shy. Because of that, he’s really hoping to find a family who will give him the time and patience he needs to settle in. 💙 Good with respectful kids 🐱 Good with cats 🐶 Good with dogs ✅ Crate Trained Bunga doesn’t need much—just someone willing to let him decompress and learn that he’s safe again. We promise that once he comes out of his shell, he is so worth it. His loyal, loving personality is just waiting for the right person to bring it out. Could you be the one to give Bunga the second chance he deserves? Come meet this handsome boy during our public hours, Tuesday through Sunday, noon–6 PM. ❤️

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).

Story
MARR covers Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Wisconsin. Rush is being fostered in IN currently. However, transportation is available for adoptions within our coverage area. . Rush is a friendly, playful, deaf (with some partial hearing) 2-year-old neutered male Rottweiler who has had several homes before finding stability with his current foster family. Despite a difficult start in life and multiple returns, he has proven to be a loving, well-adjusted dog. Personality & Behavior * Very affectionate, social, and playful. * Thrives with other dogs and enjoys being part of a pack. * Loves tug-of-war, play wrestling, and chewing toys. * House-trained with excellent indoor manners. * Travels well in the car and behaves well in public. * Comfortable with handling, grooming, and veterinary visits. * Sleeps quietly in a crate overnight. Training * Deaf but highly trainable and eager to learn. * Knows hand-signal cues for sit, stay, come, down, heel/side, and waiting at doors. * Learns quickly and responds well to guidance from both people and other dogs. Health * Has an ongoing issue with his front left leg, likely tendon-related, though no definitive diagnosis has been made. * Enjoys playtime but is not fond of long walks due to the leg discomfort. * Previously experienced anxiety-related behaviors (panting, pacing, whining at dusk) and was treated with Prozac, but has since been successfully weaned off the medication. Other Animals * Gets along very well with other dogs. * Has shown appropriate curiosity around cats and may be able to live with one after proper introductions. Ideal Home Rush would do best in a home with another friendly dog or dogs, a consistent routine, and adopters willing to continue his training and communication through visual cues. He is a sweet, smart, and resilient dog who loves companionship and play and is looking for a stable, forever home.
