Story
Ripper is between one and three years old and is in Marion, Indiana. He is at the Marion Grant County Humane Society. Staff at shelter haven’t had Ripper very long and owner didn’t provide much information when dropping him off. Owner reports that Ripper lunged at family children and aggressed to family dogs. But Ripper behaved well when brought in with other surrendered dog. Ripper responds well to kennel staff. He has been vaccinated for rabies parvovirus/distemper, and bordatella. Not heartworm tested yet. Evaluator remarks: Ripper is super lovable and came right up to my husband and the other men who were there. He also came right up to me and was also very friendly. Shelter states he is very friendly and playful with other dogs and if the other dog shows disinterest, he moves on without pushing to play. Ripper tried to jump on my husband but stopped when told no. He took treats very gently but was more interested in attention. He has zero issues being petted everywhere. Physically, Ripper looks very good except he is a little underweight. He knows sit, down, stay, shake and come. He does pull on a leash so will need some leash training. The shelter says he doesn't resource guard food or toys. Ripper is curious to check out toys but not enough to want to play when he can get human attention. He is a friendly, goofy, loveable boy who desperately wants attention, wants to be a lap dog and loves to give a good Rottie Rumble while being petted! HE will immediately give you his paw when you stop as if to say, “Hey you…don’t stop loving me!” Ripper is 100% adoptable and this boy will make a great dog for someone. He needs someone willing to work with him and provide obedience training and he will work to please you every step of the way. No conflict with other dogs according to shelter, no food aggression, plays with other dogs when he can. Has a good stay, HUGE paws! He’s going to be a big boy! I think he will be a lot of fun to play with and to love. He will gladly provide a lapdog experience if that is what you are looking for (and probably if your are not!) HE loves to snuggle, loves to be petted, loves to interact with humans and was so gentle. We hated leaving him at the shelter and wanted to put him in a good home right away! Whoever adopts this boy is going to have an amazing dog! I recommend regular walks and exercise and some dog obedience training classes and I think you’ll find the most amazing canine friend! HE is eager to please. It is our assumption that whoever surrendered the dog did not understand the breed when they got him.

Story
Augie is a four year old, healthy male dog, He is neutered, and lives with his owner in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin. Placement as soon as earliest would be best for Augie to minimize confusion in his life. Owner is divorcing and will not be able to keep Augie. Augie has been with family since he was a puppy. Augie’s last vet visit was June 6, 2025. He received Lyme, rabies, distemper/parvo, bordatella vaccinations, and was tested for heart worm - a negative result. He is on a heartworm preventative. Augie can be a little anxious with blood draws but otherwise does well with vet. Augie behaves well with men, women and children, even cats. He will chase small wildlife when outside but responds well with recall. Augie is crate trained and housebroken. He loves to play with children and is equally happy being their lap dog. He is not a vocal dog and does not bark often. Augie can be protective of his food. Augie enjoys car rides. He has plenty of training experience and good recall. No separation anxiety has been observed. Notes from evaluator: Augie is a big love bug and is very friendly with men and women. He does well with cats and has a cat housemate. Per the owner, he is good with male and female dogs and wants to play. He is currently in a home with girls ages 9 and 3 and does well. Augie is housebroken and crate trained. At night he decides if he wants to sleep on his own couch or in his kennel. He takes treats gently and he has a friendly response when you touch him. He looks great but is currently blowing his coat and shedding. Augie knows come, sit and down for cues. He is very good on a leash and just wants to please you. Owner stated that when Augie was a puppy he had a brief period where he resource guarded his food but that is not the case now that he is grown. He is very calm and composed and had no reaction to a loud noise of sudden hand movement. He actually came over to check if I was OK. Augie did the "rottie lean-in" within a few seconds of meeting me. Overall, Augie is one of the very best rotties I have ever seen! He is a beautiful boy inside and out!!

Story
NEEDS PLACEMENT BY JUNE 20 Name: Ace (previously Oogie Boogie) Location: Lincoln, Nebraska Sex: Male Weight: 89 lbs Spayed/Neutered: Yes Age: 2 Years Good with Men: Yes Good with Women: Yes Good with Dogs: Yes Good with Cats: Cat testing in a shelter is difficult. He walked past a cat cage and showed no interest. Walking past another time slowly, the cat swatted, provoking him, and he lunged. Likely, he could coexist with a car, but slow introductions are best. Introductions in a shelter are difficult as both cats and dogs may not thrive in a shelter environment. Children: Unknown House Trained: Yes Crate Trained: Yes Medical Issues: none Immunizations: UTD Rabies: 03/27/25 Parvo/distemper: 03/26/25 Bordatella: 03/26/25 Heartworm test: 03/26/25 Negative Fecal test: Preventatives: UTD Characteristics: is a great pup who doesn't know how big he truly is and will make a great family member with the right adopter willing to teach him manners. He is very strong and does OK with dogs but doesn't know when other dogs are done playing. Loud and vocal dogs will cause Ace to get vocal as well. He passed his behavior assessment with no problems. When walking past people he'll try to lick/nibble on their hands in a playful manner. Notes from evaluator: Upon meeting Ace he was a really friendly dog. I intentionally pulled on his ears, tail and poked at his feet to see if I received any negative reaction and I did not…not even so much as a grrr! He sat and took treats gently. I played tug of war with him and he enjoyed that. I took Daniel who is 10 yrs old and there were no issues with him. I didn’t see any negative issues at all except he does need some manners. He does jump on you and when the staff member opened the freezer to get out a kong with peanut butter he jumped right up like he owned the place. Ace does have a lot of energy especially when he first came into the room. He loved everyone and the staff member was a women so definitely good with men, women and children from what I can see. Overall I think he was a really good dog and if I wasn’t already fostering a dog, I would definitely have fostered Ace. He will need structure and guidance so he can be a good rottie citizen!
