Rescued Rottweilers United with Friends and Family

Our Adoptable Dogs List

Who We Are

RRUFF rescues unwanted and abandoned Rottweiler dogs from shelters in New England. We also take on a limited number of owner surrender cases where there are exigent circumstances. Each dog is put through a rigid temperament evaluation to test their suitability for placement with a family. Once the dog passes the evaluation s/he is accepted into our program and placed in foster care. While in foster care each dog learns basic obedience, house manners, crate training and how to live harmoniously with a family.

We list biographies and photos of the available dogs on our website and hold events at local pet stores to gain exposure for the dogs in our program that are looking for forever homes. We have a detailed adoption application process which ensures that adoptive families meet our qualifications for adoption. Subsequent to adoption we follow-up on the dogs we have placed to make sure they are thriving in their adoptive homes. We also offer training and behavioral support to adoptive families. If, for whatever reason, the adoption does not work out we require that any dog adopted from RRUFF be returned to RRUFF.

More Info!

RRUFF does not maintain a shelter or facility. Our dogs are fostered with volunteer foster families. You may see some of our dogs at an upcoming event.

RRUFF relies on the availablitiy of foster homes in order to take more dogs into the program. We are always in need of good foster homes! If you would like more information on fostering a dog, please

Rescuing and re-homing Rottweilers is a big expense. RRUFF depends on the support of Rottweiler lovers to fund its efforts. All of our rescue personnel are volunteers, and our activities are made possible by contributions of money, food, medical expertise, training articles, and services from many sources. Donations are tax-deductible.
