🐾 Meet Dorothee – Your Future Best Friend! 🐾   💙 Age: 9 years young   💊 Medical: Takes 150mg of Trazodone once before her morning walk to help with anxiety and reactivity   🐶 Dogs: Selective—has the potential to be slowly introduced to a calm, preferably male dog   🐱 Cats: Untested  👶 Young Kids: ✖️ Dorothee is a smart, affectionate, and loyal girl who’s looking for a special home where she can truly shine! ✨ She’s house-trained, great at learning new tricks, and absolutely adores attention—she’ll push her whole body against you for pets and cuddles. She’ll gladly snuggle right next to you!   She gets so excited for walks (you might even see her do her little happy hops!) and thrives with routine and structure. Her daily anxiety meds before her morning walk helps her feel more relaxed and confident in new situations. She's working on reactivity towards dogs but she is doing amazing! Her ideal home would be a quiet place with direct outdoor access to avoid unexpected run-ins with other dogs. She thrives with structure, training, and lots of love.   Dorothee is waiting for her perfect match—could that be you? 🏡💖   📩 Apply to adopt her today!   #AdoptMe #rockyroadrescue #OttawaDogs

🤎ADOPT BEARY🤎 🐾Breed: Chinese Shar Pei. Breed research/ knowledge is recommended. ⏰Age: 2 years old 🔋Energy level: Medium ⚖️Size: Medium 🏥Medical: • Neutered & up-to-date on vaccines • Chicken allergy ✅Listed as dog friendly from shelter but slow intros is a must ❓Cats. Not tested. ❌ No kids Hi I’m Beary🤎my foster mama says I’ll be the best thing that will ever happen to you. I may be sassy (at least that’s what I’ve heard) but I’m also a real big lover once I feel safe around you. I know it may be hard to believe that I’m snuggle bug because when you first meet me, I’m very shy. With patience and space, I’ll warm up – although you could speed the process up if you give me a napkin or sock to play with and an ice cube to eat! Breed research is recommended. I have a medium amount energy. I get the zoomies a couple times a day. I’m very strong, foster mama goes to the gym and sometimes I can pull her down the street! Walking tools help greatly with this. I’m learning how to stay close when I’m walking with someone. I like practicing silent commands like sit, stay, come and should continue training to help me with my manners as I’m still a young guy. At home though is where I shine!! Once I feel safe, I’m going to be requesting bed and couch access so I can lay around all day while you work from home (preferably)! I like snuggles when *I* want it and want you to rub my face with both hands and then I want butt scratches!  I prefer to sleep with you but I am crate trained and can stay for up to 8 hours but I really just love being around my owners. 
If I sound like the guy for you, apply today!🤎 #rockyroadrescue #adoptable #rescuedogsofinstagram #ottawa #rescue #sharpei #cutie #adoptme #ottawacommunity #rescuedogs

🤎🥔ADOPT HASHBROWN🥔🤎 Breed: Corgi Age: Approximately 7 months ✅Dogs ✅Kids ✅Cats with proper management. Size: Small/Medium Energy Level: High, puppy tornado 🏥Medical: Wellness check, first round of vaccines. Needs to be neutered when age appropriate, paid for by the rescue. 💰Adoption fee: $950 (includes wellness check, first vaccines, dewormer, microchip, and neuter when age appropriate) Meet happy Hashbrown!🤎 Described as “just happy to be here”, this bundle of joy is ready for his forever home. He is currently living with a dog and a cat and would love other furry friends in his home or regular play dates. Hashbrown does want to play with the cat so a dog friendly cat or willingness to train him not to annoy cats is a must. He must also be properly trained and supervised around children, if he is to live with them. Hashbrown is crate trained and is crated for his naps. This is necessary for his growing brain. He go-go-gos when not in his crate and crashes for a nap while in it. As Hashbrown is still a puppy, he should also be crated when not appropriately monitored. His adopters must be home with him more often than not. As always, puppy training classes are highly recommended. If Hashbrown sounds like your forever best friend, apply now!🤎 #rockyroadrescue #happyboy #hashbrown #corgi #rescuedogs #ottawa #ottawadogsofinstagram #adorable #adoptme
