Rottweiler Rescue of Los Angeles, Inc.

Look at that happy boy! Jack has years of experience swimming in the ocean but this was only his second time in a pool. He seems to think that any water will do just fine!

Brita is having a splashing good time! Smart girl - keeping herself cool in the summer heat.

Maycie the Birthday Girl, had a ball (literally) at her party!

Even big boys like Gunner are overjoyed when they have a squeaky toy! Gunner, who got his name because he was dumped at a shooting range, is available for adoption. Find out more about him and apply here: www.rottrescuela.org

This is what happens when a So Cal dog sees snow for the first time! Jack had himself an excellent time digging and biting that strange white stuff.

Watch Kona explode with pent-up excitement when she hears the word “breakfast.” All this energy and she hasn’t even had coffee yet!

Jack got a well-deserved trip to Catalina, and he enjoyed it to the fullest. Jack has been through a lot – two hip surgeries and a recent cancer diagnosis that required a third surgery. To the immense relief of his mom, the surgeon said the margins were clean and chemotherapy would not be necessary. Now she’s hoping that she and Jack can move forward and put health concerns behind them, “All I want is for this boy, who didn’t have the greatest start in life and who has come such an amazingly long way, to live a full happy life!” We’re all rooting for this handsome and happy boy.

Riley and Boss: Best of Friends

Here's to Riley and Boss. Two good dogs who were loved and cared for by their family. What a life they had!

We can’t say enough good things about this girl. She’s smart, responds well to a knowledgeable owner, loves to make her person happy, is an extreme cuddle bug and is adorable when she has the zoomies, rides well in a car while enjoying a chew toy to help the miles pass as she looks out the window, lays down, or pops her head between the front seats to say hi. Have we said enough? You can apply to adopt Lexi at www.rottrescuela.org

Happy holidays from the Sweater Gang, plus one!

For those who have followed this page for a while, you may remember Piper and her friend Whisper the Skinny Husky. It was nearly a year ago that we lost Piper at just six years old, so we've been thinking about her a lot lately. We want to let you know how Whisper has been. After Piper's death, Whisper was subdued and out-of-sorts. Usually an independent dog, he was a bit clingy and needy. We knew he would not like being an only dog, so in January, we adopted Stripe, a retired sprint racing sled dog (more about sled dogs later if you care to keep reading). Then in May, one of us (that would be the writer) decided that Gordon, an 11-year-old retired distance racing sled dog, needed to live with us. Little Dog Stripe bosses the boys, Whisper and Gordon, around and does her best to ensure they get less attention than she does. Whisper, always the gentleman, defers to her. Like Whisper, Gordon loves to lie on the deck in the sunshine. Whisper is happy to have a #deckbuddy to enjoy #decklife with. They love to walk together as a pack and have moments of spontaneous play (Stripe doesn't let the donut keep her from having a good time) in which old boy Gordon usually gets knocked over. So Whisper is doing well, and, lucky for him, he doesn't realize that it's almost the first anniversary of Piper's passing. But his humans will have to be sad for a bit. A note on sled dogs: Sled dog racing is Alaska's state sport. We are not fans of the sport, just of the dogs. Sled dogs live in a "dog yard," with another 20 to 50 dogs chained to dog houses. They get off their chains only to train or race. Mushers do not spay or neuter. They breed their dogs to ensure a supply of young dogs to run. The dogs are loaned out or sold to other mushers. Generally, they don't receive regular veterinary care. They are a commodity. Sprint dogs run short distances but FAST. Distance dogs run races like the well-known Iditarod: 1,000 miles across Alaska. And when the dogs can't run anymore? They ar

Brita Celebrates!

Need to smile today? Just watch Brita celebrating one year in her new home. We know her mom and dad feel the same way so we think they should be jumping in the water with her!

A family came to look at Lola today! Fingers crossed! #rottrescuela #rottweiler #rottweilersofinstagram #rottweilers #adoptme #rottweiler_l_o_v_e

Brita says, "It's the simple things that make me happy - fresh green grass and my favorite toy."

Turn up the volume to hear the un-ladylike but adorable sound of Princess snoring.

Lola is talented! #adoptme #rottrescuela #rottwelier #rottweilers #rottweilersofinstagram #rottweiler_l_o_v_e
