Our wish is that every rottweiler have a loving and nurturing life-time home. Towards that end we are staunch supporters of spay and neuter until such time as no rottweiler will ever be exploited because they are so plentiful. This site is brimming with educational material. Please make yourself at home and visit often.
If you'd like to adopt one of the dogs showcased on this page, please first fill in the online adoption application. To help ensure a smooth transition, before arriving to meet the dogs, please thoroughly read starting out right! and the training and books pages. There is valuable information on the health page, particularly the sections on the dangers of overvaccination and pet foods.

In addition to the dogs we have available for adoption, we are happy to provide a referral service for people who, for one reason or another, are forced to give up their pets. Since these dogs are not with us we have not personally provided their veterinary care but can share with you the information we have been given by their current owners.
If you're interested in utilizing our referral service we'd be pleased to put your dog's picture and story on our site to help them get the best home possible.

There are so many wonderful things to say about Sophie, its hard to know where to begin. As you can see by looking at her shelter photo (last one on her photo page), she was no stranger to having puppies. As a matter of fact she looks like she had them every time she came into heat. This last time was different tho. Another dog got into the yard and the owner, realizing they may not get as much money as they wanted, dumped Sophie at their local shelter in W. Virginia. The shelter has a heart that that you wished every shelter in the nation had. They were so impressed with Sophie, who was kissing baby kittens, that they vowed to do everything in their power so she wouldn't be put to sleep. They sent us her photo. Who on earth could say no?!? Sophie quickly found herself on a hastily put together 2-day transport to Michigan. When we picked her up she was tired from the hot journey but gave grateful kisses as she climbed the steps into the car. On Jun 22, two hours after she got home she began having her puppies. But having a serious case of pneumonia making breathing very difficult, no prenatal care and so many previous litters stretching her muscles, labor lasted 23 hours, with a trip to the emergency vet in the middle of the night for x-rays for retained puppies, antibiotics for the pneumonia and a couple of shots to induce contractions. Finally all the puppies arrived and Sophie was the best mother in the world. She wouldn't even get up to eat or drink and had to be served breakfast in 'bed'. Once a day she let herself be talked into going outside to relieve herself but not until all her puppies were loaded into a carrier and put out on the front lawn with her. Sophie is a wonderfully calm and wise dog who is nothing but pure love. She wants to be right by your side and when out for a walk, no matter how interesting a scent she's found, she will come to you the instant she's called. She would never dream of chewing or being destructive in the house and really is a treasure of a dog. Sophie is around 6 years old and loves to play, go for long walks and rides in the car. You couldn't ask for a more perfect companion nor has there ever been a dog easier to live with and to love. Sophie has devoted her life to raising and nurturing her puppies, now its her turn to be someone's cherished 'baby' and she is ready to become your heart-dog and life soulmate. To welcome Sophie into your home, please fill in our online adoption application.
Emmy is one of Sophie's wonderful choices. These very healthy, very happy youngsters have grown up with multiple other adult rottweilers and with cats, parrots and other animals and are very loving to all. They have been fed only organic food and are on the latest, safest vaccine protocol. As with any multiovulating animal (dog, cat, etc) each different egg can be fertilized by a different father. As a matter of fact the AKC has recently begun registering multi-sired litters. In Sophie's case we know one of the fathers was a rottweiler, the other father appears to have been a labrador (and the reason poor Sophie was sent to the pound).
Emmy is the athlete of the group. She's so soft and beautiful you'd never guess she has the heart of a tomboy. If you've ever worked a dog in agility before or have ever had a desire to do so, Emmy is your girl. She will be high point dog in each and every event and it will be impossible to decide who's having the most fun - you, or Emmy! Emmy, like the rest of her sisters and brother, loves to watch TV. Their heads go back and forth following the action and if a dog barks they'll peer behind the TV looking for it! Emmy is an exceptionally special girl looking for an exceptionally special family to share the rest of her life with - if that's you, please fill in our online adoption application.
Mariposa is one of Sophie's wonderful choices. These very healthy, very happy youngsters have grown up with multiple other adult rottweilers and with cats, parrots and other animals and are very loving to all. They have been fed only organic food and are on the latest, safest vaccine protocol. As with any multiovulating animal (dog, cat, etc) each different egg can be fertilized by a different father. As a matter of fact the AKC has recently begun registering multi-sired litters. In Sophie's case we know one of the fathers was a rottweiler, the other father appears to have been a labrador (and the reason poor Sophie was sent to the pound).
Mariposa was the runt of the litter and for the first week of life the other puppies used to push her out of the way while nursing. To make sure Mariposa got enough to eat she used to get time alone with Sophie until she had eaten all she could hold. And she was held constantly to make sure she'd stay warm. Consequently she grew up to be a great cuddler and kisser! Her soft, brown eyes light up when she sees you as she waits for a big hug. While she was growing up her little ears stuck straight out to the sides and she looked just like a beautiful little butterfly, hence her name which means 'butterfly' in Spanish. Mariposa, like the rest of her sisters and brother, loves to watch TV. Their heads go back and forth following the action and if a dog barks they'll peer behind the TV looking for it! Mariposa recently adopted an orphan kitten someone brought us when its eyes were still closed. As it grew it was apparent it was completely blind. Mariposa is a devoted adoptive mom, bathing the little one, hovering over her, guiding her with her muzzle so she won't bump into things and letting her bite and chew on her as she learns to play. There is no question that Mariposa's gentle nurturing helped me save this blind baby's life. Mariposa is truly an exceptionally special girl looking for an exceptionally special family to share the rest of her life with - if that's you, please fill in our online adoption application.
Feather is one of Sophie's wonderful choices. These very healthy, very happy youngsters have grown up with multiple other adult rottweilers and with cats, parrots and other animals and are very loving to all.

As a matter of fact the AKC has recently begun registering multi-sired litters. In Sophie's case we know one of the fathers was a rottweiler, the other father appears to have been a labrador (and the reason poor Sophie was sent to the pound).
Feather is the most maternal of the group and wants to be sure everyone she loves is ok. She firmly believes that a kiss can solve all the world's problems and she never runs out of kisses. No matter what she's doing, even if she's in the middle of eating, she will stop and come give you a kiss if you walk into the room. And with her huge brown eyes she never fails to let you know you are the most important person in her world. Feather, like the rest of her sisters and brother, loves to watch TV. Their heads go back and forth following the action and if a dog barks they'll peer behind the TV looking for it! Feather is an exceptionally special girl looking for an exceptionally special family to share the rest of her life with - if that's you, please fill in our online adoption application.
Stella is one of Sophie's wonderful choices.

Stella is the first of the puppies to be born and we think she must have read the book 'How to win friends and influence people' because she SMILES whenever she sees you. She is such a smiler that the whole left side of her upper lip crinkles up into the most enchanting smile you've ever seen. And it has the same effect each and every time. You've got to drop whatever you're doing and give her a big hug. Of course she knows you're going to do that which makes her smile all the more. Stella, like the rest of her sisters and brother, loves to watch TV. Their heads go back and forth following the action and if a dog barks they'll peer behind the TV looking for it! Stella is an exceptionally special girl looking for an exceptionally special family to share the rest of her life with. - if that's you, please fill in our online adoption application.
