Story
This little sweetie is looking for someone with a big, big heart to take care of her. She's dealing with an autoimmune deficiency called Masticatory Muscle Myositis in which her immune system attacks the muscles around her mouth and head. All of this is manageable with a special diet and medication, but she's going to need someone who is ready for that responsibility. She's one of the kindest dogs I've ever met, very curious, and sweet as could be. If you're interested in meeting Coco, fill out an application here: https://acesangels.org/aceadopt.html

Story
This handsome boy's person asked her sister to watch him when she moved to Texas. She said she'd be back in a few weeks.....which turned into months.....which brings us to today. Sister and brother in law are not prepared to have a male Rottweiler. This wasn't fair to them but they are doing their best. Dawg Squad is hoping to find Steeler a new home. He's well built...stocky, not fat....and very strong. Therefore no small children. Steeler will need leash work for sure but he does know a few basic commands. AND LOOK AT THAT FACE! He's so willing to please. Steeler does live with another dog and they have made peace with each other but we would recommend an only dog home OR a home with a very mellow same size female. Steeler is a great dog! Let's make him yours! https://dawgsquad.org/adoption-application/

Story
Rottweiler 5 years Male Altered 95 pounds Short hair Up to Date on Shots Jeremy is a true gentleman. Plus he is a lot more handsome than these pictures! Rainy, cloudy days plus black dogs are not the perfect photo shoot. Jeremy’s family had some problems and they were forced to relinquish him. He is a great dog who is gentle with humans and dogs. Jeremy walks nicely on leash, knows some commands and is housebroken. Great snuggler! Will keep you warm on cold winter nights Jeremy will play when you want to play and can easily settle down for a movie night. He’s really missing his home life and doesn’t understand what happened. This guy needs a new family. Maybe you can foster until his permanent home is found? He’d be so grateful!
