Rotts of Friends Animal Rescue

Rotts of Friends Animal Rescue Rotts of Friends is a non-profit organization dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and finding 'Forever Homes' for abused and neglected dogs/animals.
(299)

Rotts of Friends strives to educate the public about dogs of all breeds and the understanding of what breed, if any, is best for them, preventing pet overpopulation through spay and neuter, and offering programs to properly integrate dogs as a proper part of the family, including those with children and extended families. Since February 2009, Rotts of Friends has rescued 562 dogs. In February 2012

it reached a landmark and placed its 500th dog into its Forever Home (with more still waiting for homes).
2009 - 174 dogs were rescued
2010 - 196 dogs were rescued
2011 - 158 dogs were rescued
2012 - Rotts of Friends is on track for rescuing 272 dogs
The mission of Rotts of Friends continues to expand to meet the growing needs of abandoned and abused dogs throughout the US. The success of this program is evident in the large number of dogs this organization has helped. The heart of Rotts of Friends started with the deep love and appreciation of the Rottweiler breed. It was the love of the breed which pushed its Founder, Renee Lancaster, to do more to save the Rottweiler from irresponsible breeding and ownership. With increased space being allocated to taking in these discarded animals, the message became clear that the willingness to help must extend to other breeds going through the same dilemma of abuse, neglect, over-population, and irresponsible ownership. Rottweilers were soon joined with German Shepherds, Pit Bulls, and other large mixed-breeds, and today includes all breeds large and small. Rotts of Friends expertise and contributions are now recognized throughout the state as a viable option for these otherwise "non-adoptable" or to-be-euthanized animals and has rescued dogs from Border to Border and dogs displaced due to national disasters.

Meet “Miss Who” and “Mr Who”. Both are from our recent hoarding case. Many of the dogs the owner had to carry outside to our transport vehicle because they had never been on leash and had never been outside the front door . Both are 1 year old ( siblings) and have been fully vetted. Super sweet, and now enjoy leash walks and playing with toys. The “ who” part of their names is because there were so many dogs in the house, the owner could not remember their names. Please share and help Rotts of Friends place these beauties so we can save more! Call 530-681-1326

Another fun and interesting rescue from last week…a fire Captain in Richmond phoned me about a male Rottweiler who had showed up at the fire station and hung out for a few days. They were caring for him and hoping his owner might show up as the station was on a busy road. Proper reports were done at the local animal shelter and on social media, posters , etc. No one showed, so they named him Rider after their station name. They kindly gathered up a donation for Rider’s medical expenses and he was delivered to us. “Ryder” ( slight spell change). He is such a chunky, cute, wiggle butt. Super friendly, now neutered, and ready for a home. Please call 530-681-1326 if you want to meet Ryder❤️Big thank you to the fire fighting team at Station 62 in Richmond, for going above and beyond your call of duty!💪🐶👏👏

Rosie is reunited with her dad! We had a post on 2/18/25 about this rescue. She has been with us since then receiving care for her wounds from being run over. This is so heart warming and what a gracious, humble man. Happy trails and tails💪😇

Puppy breath! Are you looking for a tiny friend? These cuties are 3 and 4 lbs and will not get much bigger. All are spay/ neutered ( yes, we have a qualified, wonderful vet, who does thousands of pediatric surgeries) and are super social. Cute, cute, cute! Call 530-681-1326

Hoarding pups

I just weaned these two babes. The large male will be ready for a home soon. The small female has “swimmers syndrome” but she is already improving. Kept in a cramped area with slick flooring probably made this problem worse where she came from. Anyway, she’s darling and anyone wanting a baby to nurse back to health, can call me at 530-681-1326. Notice the sweet puppy room in our sanctuary? The cost of its construction was donated by “Sharks and Remy” two of our avid supporters.😇😍

Another of the one year old hoarding case dogs learning to walk on leash. Let’s talk about this case. Unlike the BB breeder gone greeder case, I’m not going to rag on this case for two main reasons: First of all, the man himself reached out to animal control when he hit bottom and realized he couldn’t handle 15 adult rotties in his small home anymore. I’m disgusted by the situation and how many puppies were born, and their living situation. It was not right by any means. BUT, all dogs were well fed and loved. Terribly undersocialized and flea ridden, but loved. At least he reached out and no one turned him in for noise, smell or cruelty. They were well hidden indoors. That aside, ROF is working closely with Sacramento SPCA who reached out to us. I personally helped take the dogs from their situation to aid in the dogs being less traumatized. Sac SPCA has a wonderful, well run clinic and we have expedited getting them spayed and neutered. This has been a huge undertaking and we appreciate your continued support. What do I take away from this? We have stopped at least this one situation ruining this breed. I hope telling everyone NOT to ignore anything suspicious in your neighborhood. Surely you could notice if you heard or smelled a situation you could report it to be checked out before it got this bad.please try and don’t be afraid to “rock the boat”. Let’s continue to clean up this backyard breeder mess one case at a time. It feels good. Share share share so we can rehome and save more!!!!

Today we had a great volunteer turnout! Thank you Joanne, Jolie, and Karen for spending time with our new girls needing socializing! Rotties are so special, and absorbed all this loving ❤️❤️Volunteering is so helpful and ROF really appreciates you!

All of our hoarding case rotties are now here. Please share far and wide as we will be training, vaccinating, neutering and feeding all of these precious souls until rehomed. Lots of youngsters. But please don’t forget we have many more very adoptable rotties who have been here awhile😘😘💕🙏 Big thanks to all of you sending dog food! Sooooooo helpful. Call 530-681-1326 for info on dogs or how to help.
