We are praying for this year to be our dream come true. We are hoping to have a facility. One place for all our homeless Rottweilers to stay. We need a facility to save more homeless dogs. This will also allow the potential adopters to see all our dogs and hopefully increase our adoptions.
We cannot do this without your help!We do not have the land or the money to build a place and give more homeless dogs a second chance! PLEASE consider helping us with our dream of a facility.

UPDATE!
"Skylar's leg surgery has healed. He is no longer in any pain, he will not need another surgery in the future. He does have a slight limp because a small peice of bone was removed to alleviate the trauma but he has fully recovered and is now waiting for a forever home with a family to love him. This sweet boy will make someone a great family dog. Skylar loves to run and play with other dogs and now he can! That slight limp doesn't slow him down a bit. He is a happy, friendly, wonderful dog."
Skylar had his hip operation on February 11th, 2008. This was from an injury (NOT displasia)that occurred before he arrived at our Rescue. Skylar was x-rayed several times over the months prior to deciding the only way to repair his hip was surgery. This gentle fella asks nothing more then to have a good home and be loved as much as he can give you in return, which is unconditional. It took 3 months for Skylar to heal but his amazing desire to please, combined with his trust and love saw him through to a full recovery.
Skylar's story
This is SKYLAR. He is 16 months old. SKYLAR is a very sweet dog. His owner gave him to a local shelter for no reason, except that he was tired of taking care of a dog. Skylar was nearly killed because the shelter was full and had no room for him! He owner didn't care that a sweet puppy that spent his time giving kisses and wiggling his butt was about to die for no reason. He is neutered,vaccinated, and microchipped.
We are currently in need of transport volunteers for our adoption events. If you cannot foster a homeless dog but would like to get involved you still can! We need people to transport and handle a dog at our adoption events.
Would you like to help? If so please fill out the TRANSPORT APPLICATION below

Adoption Event and Family Fun:
Join us and a few of our adoptable Rotties at an upcoming outdoor event in Leesburg, VA! Sunday, October 12, 2008 from 12pm - 4pm in historic downtown Leesburg.
Historic, downtown Leesburg is "going to the dogs!" Well, at least for this Sunday afternoon. The downtown streets will be transformed into a pedestrian walkway featuring everything dog related, including dog rescue and adoption organizations, pet sitters, veterinarians, trainers, groomers, and "boutique" shops. If it's dog related, you will find it during this wonderful event.!
Our rescue organization is forever growing and trying to expand to save the lives of so many homeless Rottweilers that are abandoned, sitting in shelters and awaiting their fate
We want to save more lives but we can't unless we have more foster homes for them to stay in until a permanent home can be found
Please open your heart and your home. Join our foster program and help us, help them.
Just fill out our Foster Home Application and be a part of saving lives.
This is the "before and "after" video of what rescue people REALLY do for homeless, abandoned, and abused dogs.
The dog in this picture weighed 33 lbs. when rescued.
We thought he was about 4 months old. Imagine our surprise when we found out he was a 9 month old dog that had been severely starved probably all his puppy life!
He became the inspiration for this video - to watch the video just click on the picture

Very often people are totally convinced that by going to a breeder and acquiring AKC papers, they have a better dog then any rescued dog
This would only be true if you went to an ETHICAL breeder
So what IS the difference between an ETHICAL breeder and someone that has a litter of puppies and calls themselves a "breeder"?
We would like you to read the story below and decide for yourself
If you just want a nice family pet, please adopt a rescued dog. They are purebred dogs without AKC papers. Unless you know the difference between a backyard breeder and an ETHICAL breeder, what it DOES guarantee is that you just spent too much money ! You may be paying for papers that you may never need or you may be buying a dog that will end up like the one below
Educate yourself!
BEFORE you buy that cute puppy from a Pet Store please read this. Then click the link below
A heart wrenching story about a precious Angel named Fozzie Bear who died due to the conditions he was born under. At a very tiny age of barely 17 weeks, he never had the chance to chase a butterfly or even feel grass under his feet. Fozzie Bear was a Puppy Mill puppy, born to a mom who is used only to breed for profit. They are . "prisoners of greed". They all die slow and painful deaths from untreated illness's or injuries.
After viewing Fozzie's Story please, go to any search engine and type in "puppy mills" or "Amish puppy mills" since the most Amish are millers and the producers of pet store puppies across the US but mainly in the well known Amish community in Lancaster, PA. Most sites get down to the severe reality of what these precious Angels must endure in their pitiful lives.
We are seeking assistance in finding property with a house and enough land to build a facility in order to continue our rescue efforts.
We are reaching out and begging for help!
There are way too many homeless Rottweilers
and nowhere for them to go.
They are
dieing every day
in the shelters!
We want to save them but we can't because we lack the space.
We do not have the funds to purchase a house with enough land to have a place for these dogs to stay while waiting for new homes
Each and every day we have to turn down homeless Rottweilers because we are full. These dogs are almost always destroyed. Most of them are sweet, loving, perfect housepets that do not deserve to die.
We are hoping for a miracle!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We would love to have you on our mailing list! We send out Quarterly newletters to let everyone know what we have been doing, how much it REALLY costs to care for the homeless dogs, alittle about our plans, events, and most important, where your donations have been spent
If you would like to be on our mailing list please email us at the address below
We are hoping to do alittle fundraising, find a few good homes,
and have fun doing it!
But our DREAM is to one day have a sanctuary for
homeless Rottweilers. A place that will enable us to save many,many more lives then we are able to do now.Too many Rottweilers die everyday because they are trapped in shelters. They have no where to go. We need more foster homes and what we REALLY need, is a sanctuary!3>
When you make your tax deductible donation, please comsider
what we REALLY need to end the misery of these homeless, lonely dogs that will be euthanized, because we cannot save as many as we would like to.3>
THEY NEED YOUR HELP!
Our puppies are only adopted to homes with an ADULT there during the day to housebreak them

We do not have any personal knowledge of
health or temperament for any dog that is a "COURTESY" listing.We do not endorse any courtesy listing of any dog to be a safe member of society. Courtesy listings of dogs are dogs completely unknown to our rescue, therefore we are not assuming any liability of any incidents or actions that may occur from dogs we have no personal knowledge about, nor have we evaluated.
We are a NON PROFIT ORGANIZATION, dedicated to helping homeless Rottweilers in Maryland, and in Northern, VA. We have been doing rescue for this breed for 24 years. All dogs adopted from our rescue are spayed/neutered, fully vaccinated, and microchipped. We do not adopt out aggressive dogs. Our dogs are adopted as family members ONLY. Our goal is to someday have a sanctuary just for homeless Rottweilers that no one will adopt, the elderly that were abandoned,and for all Rottweilers that for some reason cannot find a forever home. But for now that is just a dream. Please consider these lonely dogs and send us a tax deductible donation to help us make our dream come true.
