Story
From the Shelter: Roxanne has started very shy/fearful in our environment but is slowly starting to find her voice. It has taken her time to warm up to staff but once known comes a little more accepting. Roxanne does not like being touched around the face and does struggle to get away so we have been muzzling as precaution to get any work done on her. She needs a foster home environment that is quiet, can give her more one on one time, and proper socializing. We simply cannot provide that in this environment. ********** 07/22/2026 Update from Shelter: Hello! Just wanted to send a little update on our girl! We got a nice stroll around campus (slow and steady of course) which she very much enjoyed. She has been greatly improving with staff handling her and slowly becoming more trustworthy. ****** Today we were able to verify that she is not spayed - most likely had some litters in her day. Checked over her skin/completed another med bath and another round of antibiotics are on board for her skin as it still has some infection. We were also able to get her boosters done and got her Heartworm test completed which she was Negative for. Overall she did well with handling. Muzzled for blood draw and vaccines as precaution but she just basically shuts down in a submissive state. I have attached some updated photos and medical record for you! Notes from evaluator: When meeting Roxanne she was initially indifferent but was eventually able to interact and pet her (both male and female). She didn't react to other shelter dogs while we were there and never growled or barked. She was also fine with my 11-year old daughter. Roxanne isn't very treat motivated and would not take treats either on the ground or from hand; shelter staff said she normally takes hot dogs but even she couldn't get that to happen while visiting. Physically she looks amazing and is very healthy with a good walk and great stance. When on a leash she will follow, moderate direction needed, once she trusts she will follow you. Watched her with shelter worker she knew she was great. Roxanne flinched during loud noise, but no reaction good or bad. Repeated loud noise she has no reaction at all to. Big movements has initial flinch, but nothing more. She actively investigated the space we were in, did not avoid the people in the area, but also was not seeking them out. Would come as close as she needed to but that was it. She did not seek attention. After we were with her for an hour, I was able to pet her head, ears, even slowly massaged between her eyes as she laid down beside me Roxanne is absolutely placeable, she just needs time, security, slow intros, and calmness. I feel after a 2 week decompression with a foster she will be an absolute angel for someone. Roxanne has a sweet demeanor, zero aggression. If she gets an opportunity to be with someone in a loving environment where she can get acclimated to calm surroundings I think her personality will begin to come out. She needs to be the sole focus of an initial home. I wish we would have had more 1on1 time. She is such a sweetheart and just wants love.

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
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
Temperament: Playful, Happy, Lap Dog, Outgoing, People Centered, Easy to Train **** Yogi is a younger male rottie. Like many younger dogs, he likes to play and has energy to burn. **** Yogi is very free-spirited. He is a big ball of energy and love. He loves to cuddle and eat, He loves everyone, and has never met a stranger. He is great with other animals (cats and dogs) and loves kids. He is still learning manners, but his energy makes it hard for him to focus. He will even smile at you, just so you know how happy he is. He is very food driven, as the fastest way to his heart is through his stomach. He is crate trained.He is a great guy! Notes from Evaluator: Yogi is being surrendered because the family doesn't have enough time for him and have had some life changes. This is no fault of Yogi's! Yogi was raised with a cat. He was fine in an area with cats, rabbits and guinea pigs. He is house trained and crate trained. Yogi ate a treat from the floor and was gentle. He was a bit mouthy but gentle. He is totally fine with being stroked and appears in good health. He could use a bath to get his coat shiny. Yogi knows sit and shows trust on a leash. He wants to walk ahead of his person so he needs a little work. He does not resource guard food or toys. We met in a very loud pet store and he was an angel; no reaction to his surroundings. Overall Yogi is very easy going and will fit into any home and is very placeable!

Story
🖤 Meet Bambi 🖤 > Bambi is a beautiful one-year-old Rottweiler who is looking for someone very special to show her what life is supposed to feel like. **** > At just one year old, Bambi is incredibly timid and lacks confidence. She was kept outside with other dogs and simply hasn’t had the opportunity to learn what love, affection, and the comfort of a family are all about. When you look at her, you can see the uncertainty in her eyes. She isn’t sure what to expect from people, and she doesn’t quite understand attention yet. **** > But underneath that timid exterior is a young girl who deserves the chance to learn. **** > Currently very timid and unsure of people **** > Lacks confidence and needs time to decompress **** > House and crate training are currently unknown **** > Bambi will need an adopter who understands that earning her trust may take time. She needs patience, consistency, structure, and someone who is willing to let her come out of her shell at her own pace. **** > An experienced Rottweiler owner with good training skills would be ideal. Someone who understands the breed and can give her the confidence, boundaries, guidance, and reassurance she needs could completely change the course of this little girl's life. **** > Bambi may not run up to you and ask for love. She may not even know what to do when you offer it. **** > And that's what makes her story so heartbreaking. **** > Imagine being this beautiful, young girl and not knowing that a hand reaching toward you could mean a gentle scratch behind the ears. Not knowing that someone sitting beside you could mean you're safe. Not knowing that a soft voice and a warm bed mean you're finally home. **** > Bambi doesn't need someone to save her for a day. She needs someone willing to teach her that she is safe, wanted, and loved. **** > With the right person, patience, training, and time, we believe Bambi can blossom into the confident, loyal, affectionate Rottweiler she was meant to be. ***&* > 🖤 Let's change this little girl's life. **** > She has spent her first year wondering what people want from her. **** > Let's make the rest of her life about finally learning what love feels like. **** > Could you be Bambi's person? 🐾
