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
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
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
Zoey Rae a very sweet girl who loves people! She is super spry and energetic, although she doesn't have the endurance a young pup would have. She has only a touch of grey on her muzzle but she must've drank from the Fountain of Youth as she is so playful with her toys and looks much younger. Zoey does not get along with her foster sister but does get along with her foster brother. Because of her resource guarding, she will do better as an only dog in the house. She can be rough on her toys so strong balls and ropes are the best. Smaller kiddos are not recommended because she doesn't realize her size and she does get possessive with her food and toys. She does well in the house and never has accidents but if something drops to the floor, Zoey thinks that's fair game to grab (she will trade for a treat). She is a counter surfer so you do have to be careful of leaving food unattended. Mostly after she plays with her toys for a bit she just lays next to her human on the floor and is content. She does love the couch if someone is sitting on it, but will get bored and get down to go find her toys. Zoey does fine at the vet with the techs but has to be muzzled when the "white coat" guy comes into the room. Zoey is a VERY vocal girl and will whimper with excitement when people come to the house and she definitely has the rottie rumble. She expresses her feelings with her voice for sure. Zoey has a chicken allergy according to her vet records. She take treats fairly gently and is very treat motivated. She initially did not like her head petted. With trust she has gotten better with that, however she will give a low growl if someone is doing something she doesn't like. Zoey does great in a car but does not like any reflections bouncing on the car roof or in the house. Zoey would love to have a fur-ever home with a person or family who can devote lots of love and attention and she will be so loyal, affectionate and happy to be part of your family!

Story
Bear is an almost 3 year old, large, gorgeous, altered Rottweiler. He is searching for a new family due to his owner having a stroke and no longer able to care for him. He loves to play but currently does not get enough exercise which causes him to exhibit typical behaviors of juvenile boredom. He is a very sweet and loving dog who would flourish in an active home with consistent training. Like most dogs, if no one takes charge of a situation, he will. Bear has had professional training, but it was not followed through at home and he can be stubborn if he doesn't respect the "trainer". However, with people who do reinforce commands he is quick to respond. Bear is very intelligent and eager to please when offered consistent and fair training. He can become mouthy when he is excited. He did this behavior as a puppy and reverted to it when excited. Bear also has never had consistent walks on a leash and needs training in that area. Bear recently was boarded while his owner was hospitalized. The staff reported that he displayed some resource guarding with food and toys resulting in growling if they tried to take it away. Also, when visiting the vet, he needs to be muzzled for blood work or other “in your face” procedures. Overall, Bear is a great dog who will flourish in a home with someone who will enforce boundaries, exercise, and in return will have a loyal dog that loves you more than himself.

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
Sadie Boxer Spayed female 8 years old, 50 pounds Sweet-natured indoors and game for adventure outside, Sadie is a great fit for a moderately active home -- whether you’re an individual, a couple, or a family, but we do feel she would thrive as the only pet. This Boxer loves couch cuddles, porch snoozes, backyard ball time and neighborhood strolls. Ask if she wants to go outside and she comes alive, spinning in happy circles with a little excited whine. She’s good with kids and has done well with a kindergarten-aged neighbor and her foster’s young teen. She likes a slow hello with new people; give her a moment to settle and, once she feels safe, she’s your buddy. Sadie is house trained, leash trained, and crate trained, though she feels nervous confined in a crate; she has free-roamed for up to four hours with no mischief. Her foster works from home, so she goes outside several times a day. On walks she can be protective and may bark or growl at passersby, but her foster is working to soften that tendency. With some missing teeth, she eats water-softened kibble in three small meals, which has helped her weight. Since she can fixate on squirrels, cats and some dogs, a secure, taller privacy fence is preferred for Sadie to live her best life. If this description sounds like a good fit, please consider completing our online application.
