...PUPPIES Baby Brutus and ELEAZAR have homes pending! PUPPY FROSTY PAWQS has a home pending! ............................................Please read about our darling Special Needs Puppy, ANGEL... She has made great progress in the 2 plus months she has been here-she gets around extremely well and we now believe she has more vision than we previously thought-she is able to see direct focal objects and distinguish large objects, find her toys, watch a moving object......Her heart mumer is gone...She still has some motor coordination problems but this pup is so spunky and tries so hard she melts your heart with her efforts-she is sweet and loving and a beautiful pup......................................Adult CARLEY is still looking for her forever home-she too has been in rescue for over one year now. Although she is currently off the website, she is available for adoption to the right home-where she could be in a quiet adult home, with someone home most of the time......................................................................................PREVIOUS ADOPTERS and preapproved adopters get first choice ........................................I ADOPT ONLY TO THE MOST LOVING AND RESPONSIBLE HOMES WITH THE FINANCIAL ABILITY TO CARE FOR THESE DOGS THE REST OF THEIR LIFE. Yes, I am VERY fussy but I am the ONLY advocate for these defenseless animals that society has chosen to forget or kill at the pound.

Who We Are

Founded by Cathy Leinert in Sept 2000, dedicated to the rescue and rehab of abandoned, abused, and neglected Rottweilers, with the goal of finding permannt loving homes for the dogs after they have received veterinary care and socialization. Cathy Leinert has devoted her time, energy, love and money to the protection and rehabilitation of Rottweilers. She has over 25 years working and training Rotts and numerous titles and certifications attesting to her unwavering committement to this magnificent breed. As a private non-profit organization, it is funded almost entirely by her own funds, supplemented by donations and adoption fees. She credits her hardworking, understanding and equally Rottweiler-loving husband for the continued success of the rescue. She is most grateful to her loyal and equally dedicated volunteers who help with all the duties: EILEEN, ANNE, LISA, PASTOR CAROL, TARA , KAREN, SHARON ..... the very best child volunteer ALEXA and husband ROGER!!!!! Any dog evaluated and taken into rescue is assured of a permanent home here: if he-she isn't adopted, we also operate as a Rottweiler sanctuary , on a limited basis. Euthanasia is reserved for aggressive and dangerous dogs only. Please consider helping to support the rescue!

Adopting a friend

If you are interested in adopting, EMAIL ME WITH THE FOLLOWING PRELIMINARY INFORMATION--family members and ages, other pets, your work schedules, your home type,OWN OR RENT, yard, fencing, your EXPERIENCE with dogs and ESPECIALLY WITH ROTTIES, reason for adopting, and any other information to show what a good home you can provide......................I will then email you the adoption application which includes personal and vet references, and we require a home check.-looking for a safe home, not a fancy one. I would like you to visit the dog 3x, unless we determine otherwise because of distance. (I want my dogs to feel that they are going home with a friend, not a stranger.) The requested adoption donation is $375, and all dogs are up to date on vax, heartworm prev, and spayed/altered. PUPPIES have a MANDATORY FOSTER-NEUTER AGREEMENT. if they are not already neutered........ (Please note that this fee doesn't even begin to cover the actual costs incurred.) YES, I LOVE MY DOGS AND AM VERY PARTICULAR ABOUT THE HOMES THEY GO TO!!...............PREVIOUS ADOPTERS ALWAYS GET FIRST CHOICE AS DO PRE-APPROVED ADOPTERS!!!!!!!!!!
