DON’T LET YOUR DOG RIDE IN AN OPEN TRUCK BED

An estimated 100,000 dogs die annually as a result of being transported in the bed of a truck!

Please note…that number only reflects fatalities. An even larger number are severely injured due to this practice.

Open truck beds do not provide any protection from the weather. Hot sun can heat the metal floor of a truck bed enough to burn a pet’s paw pads or skin. Additionally, a dog left sitting in the broiling sun without water or shade may suffer from heat stroke in a very short period of time.

While many dogs appear to enjoy the wind in their faces, airborne debris, dust particles and other irritants can cause significant damage to a pet's eyes, ears and respiratory passages.

Do not leash or tie your pet to any portion of the truck bed. Many dogs have been strangled when tossed or bumped over the side of the truck and been left helplessly dangling. Be it the result of a collision or simply an unexpected attempt to jump from the vehicle, tying you dog to the truck is a dangerous practice.

If your dog must ride in the back of the truck, put the pet inside a crate that will give it some protection from the wind and weather. Tie the crate SECURELY to the walls of the truck bed so it cannot slide about or be tossed out of the truck.

Exciting news! Snickers found his forever home with Corey Dwan yesterday! 🎉 This marks Corey’s second adoption from us, as he previously took in Wilson when we were just starting out. He’s been such a supportive friend to our rescue over the years, and honestly, he’s an amazing dog owner!

Corey flew in on Wednesday to meet Snickers, and he even took him back to his hotel for a couple of days to make sure they were a perfect match. Spoiler alert: they totally are! After a successful trial, he drove Snickers back to Colorado, and we’re thrilled to hear they arrived safely. It turns out Snickers absolutely loves the snow! ❄️

A huge thank you to Shirley Duncan for fostering Snickers and giving him the love and training he needed. We can’t wait to see all the adventures these two will have together! 🐾❤️

This sweet girl is Oakley. She has been waiting far too long for the love of her life to come along. She is the kind of girl that wants to be your one and only, but she will make up for that by giving you unconditional love. She is a senior rottie, started out as a stray brought to the shelter with her 2 puppies, they were all adopted by different families. Oakley was returned bc the adopters had a rabbit she thought she was supposed to chase, like most dogs do. She was adopted again into a home with cats. Well she chased those little furry animals too, so she was finally surrendered to us. In October of this year she will have been with us for 2 years. This sweet lady deserves a good home and place she will be loved forever ❤️ if you live in Arizona and are interested in meeting Oakley, please complete our adoption application at https://www.rottenrottie.com/adoption.html

As winter continues, we are seeing a heartbreaking increase in homeless and neglected Rottweilers desperately needing our help. It feels as though all the backyard breeders have decided they were done with them, opened their gates and abandoned these loyal dogs to the streets. Why does our community treat so many animals this way?

I will never understand how humans can mistreat such innocent creatures—but with your help, we can begin to right the wrongs that have been done to them.

We cannot do this alone. We need your help.

We need assistance to feed them, to cover their medical expenses, and to give them a chance at the loving homes they deserve. None of us take a paycheck—every single donation goes directly toward the care of these incredible dogs.

We do this out of love—love for this misunderstood and magnificent breed, and love for every dog that has been let down by humans.

If you share our passion for Rottweilers, or if you simply want to help us care for these deserving dogs, please consider donating. We are a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit, so your donation may even be tax-deductible.

With your help, we can give these dogs the second chance they deserve. Thank you for being a part of their second chance.

This cutie has been living homeless in a neighborhood in Tucson for a couple of weeks now. One of the residents there was able to take her into petsmart and have her scanned but no chip. She is staying with him for now but his cane corso does not like her, so he can’t keep her long. Neighbors have seen her with other dogs in the neighborhood and she seems friendly with them. I’m looking for her owner or someone who has room to foster her. She has been great with the kids in the neighborhood too. If you are interested in fostering, you must live In the phoenix area and you must fill out an application here

UPDATE 1/20: we received no foster applications for Sasha. The finder was unable to hold her any longer, so she was picked up by animal control and will go on a 5 day strayhold at Maricopa County Animal Care & Control. It’s so sad that this poor girl is going back to county. I truly hope she has a loving owner that is searching for her. We will keep an eye on Sasha and we will still accept foster applications for her just incase she ends up needing to be rescued.

ARIZONA ➡️ looking for foster home in Phoenix area.

This adorable girls name is Sasha. She was found as a stray on 1/17 in Phoenix. Her finder scanned her for a chip and she had one with the owners name and number but the owner is not calling her back. We found out that Sasha was adopted from Maricopa County in June of 2023. Her finder is unable to keep her so she has an appointment for county to pick her up tomorrow. We would like to help Sasha and keep her out of the shelter so we are looking for a foster home to place her in.

Things we know about Sasha:

🐾 We think Sasha is 2-3 years old.
🐶 She met a dog her size through a fence and was all nub wags, so she may be good with dogs her own size. She saw some small dogs from a distance and she barked at them.

👶🏽👧🏻Sasha has been around small kids and has done good with them.

If you feel like you have a home that would be a good fit for Sasha, please go to our website and complete our foster questionnaire. The link to our foster questionnaire is also posted in the comments section.

UPDATE 1/22: Oakley is safe and in his foster to adopt home! Oakley has a lot of energy and is just the happiest boy. I know that his new family is going to love him so much, so I have a very optimistic outlook on this situation working out and him hopefully having found his forever home! Oakley’s foster mom told me that he reminds her a lot of of their male Rottweiler that just passed. Oakley is 105 pounds of pure puppy and he has more growing to do! In Addition, he loves their 13 years old daughter and she loves him too!

I cannot wait to see him when he is fully grown. I absolutely adore this boy and I know that his foster to adopt family will love him as much as I do. I’m looking forward to what Oakley’s future looks like and I’m so happy that we were able to get Oakley to open up when we met him. He was so depressed and shut down at the shelter, we did not know what to expect. However, when we took him to the yard and I threw the ball for him he completely changed. What we found was a fun, energetic, and affectionate puppy. Gone was the sad, shut down boy we first met! We love you Oakley! Be a good boy!

I'm at MCACC to meet this very beautiful young male named Oakley who is on the euthanasia list with a deadline of the 22nd.
It will absolutely break my heart if they put this guy to sleep. I bet he is no more than a year old but he is pretty tall and long. Once he fills out he will be giant. Amanda with Paw Creek can take him for two weeks and work on training him on Feb 7th. I need to find a foster who can keep him safe until then, and if he doesn't get adopted right away, a foster to take him on feb 21st. He is a happy boy whom loves everybody. He is a playful and fun boy!! He thinks he is a lapdog. I don't know how he does with other dogs, cats or kids. To foster him for us you must live in the phoenix area. You must be able to keep him separated for your animals in case they don't get along. If you live anywhere outside the east valley you must be willing to drive him to gilbert for vet appointments and meet and greets and to New River for help with training for him. We will provide you with everything you need for him and cover medical and training expenses. You also need to fill out a foster application or adoption application (depending on your intentions) here https://www.rottenrottie.com/forms.html
Check out his videos in the comments below
He is not available for adoption through shelter. He can only leave with a rescue.

Sneak peak of what we are getting on Monday!

Save Gambino!

Update: We found a wonderful foster for Gambino. She just so happens to also be a dog trainer!! So he has the best of both worlds. Thank you Michelle Willey for stepping up to help us rescue this boy! ➡️ARIZONA ⬅️ We are looking for a foster home in the Phoenix area by 1/13 . This cute boys name is Gambino. On 12/23, he was found as a stray and brought into Maricopa County Animal Care & Control. During his evaluation he showed no signs of aggression and looked to his handler for attention and comfort. However, he is showing some signs of stress and is being cautious about his environment. The shelter feels that he would be best with a New Hope Partner to give him time to come out of his shell before he is adopted. Therefore, has been placed on the Maricopa County Animal Care & Control euthanasia list and needs to be rescued by 1/13, they will euthanize him the morning of 1/14. Gambino cannot be adopted by the public. He is New Hope Only, which means only a rescue can save him. We want to rescue him, but we need a foster home to place him in. We are looking for a foster home that is willing to go slow with Gambino give him the time he needs to feel comfortable. If you feel like you have that home and would like to foster Gambino through us, please go to our website and complete our foster questionnaire. The link to our foster questionnaire is attached to the bottom of this post. Info about fostering with us.🐾 🐾❤️Fostering with us is free! We cover all costs associated with Gambino’s vet care, Food, kennel, bedding, toys, etc. 🐾We do not know Gambino’s past so he will need to be kept separate from other animals in your home until he has had some time to decompress and then we can facilitate the introduction. 🐾We do not know how Gambino is with kids, so applicants with small children will be reviewed and determined if eligible on a case by case basis. 🐾Foster home must be in the Phoenix area and willing to drive Gambino t

Just wanted to throw this out there. A friend of mine is a property manager and she currently has 8 properties that will allow your rottweiler to move in with you if you are looking to move. There are in various locations in the valley. So if you are needing a rental that will let you keep your dogs contact kim hunter at (602) 695-4163 and let her know that we referred you. Please share this on your page as it may save some dogs from being surrendered because the owner can’t find a place to live that will allow them to keep their pets thanks

This is our boy chico who has to be in crate rest so that heal after being neutered. He cracks me up!

Two years ago we rescued Ken and Barbie from MCACC’s euthanasia list. Barbie was adopted right away but Ken has been with us this whole time. He is the sweetest boy, who has a sense of humor, goofy, energetic and so well behaved. He doesn’t like strangers, and his first reaction is to bite when a stranger reaches for him. He is scared of them for some reason. He has gone through two board and trains and he only likes 6 people on this planet. The number is so low, because I just stopped introducing him to new people. Today, Ken is on his way to Texas with Omar Kaif, who is one of those 6 people, because Omar adopted him! Omar has been telling me for a year that he was going to adopt him when the timing is right, and today is the day!! Bitter sweet. He has been a part of my life everyday for so long. It’s weird here without him. So happy that he can finally live a normal full life though which is something I could not give him. #Rescue #rottenrottierescue #rottweiler #adoptdontshop #adoptadog #adopt #doglover

Meet 4 year old Uba. He is looking for a new home. His owner died. The owners grandson currently has him but he is allergic to him. He is going to the shelter if we can not find a new home for him quickly. He’s a good boy. He is Akc registered. Good with other dogs, potty trained, loves the pool, and follows commands. Wouldn’t you want a great boy like him home for the holidays? If you live in arizona and are interested, please go to www.rottenrottie.com and click on the forms tab and fill out an adoption application for us. Uba’s name will not appear on the drop down box because we can not officially take him into our rescue without a place for him to go, so just make a note somewhere in the application that he is who you are interested in. Thanks
