Adoption

Thank you for your interest in adopting a rescued Rottweiler. Before completing your application, please review our policy. We adopt to homes in the Southeastern United States, primarily Florida. We will occasionally make exceptions for applicants interested in adopting special needs or senior dogs. Our dogs are located at our rescue, in the State of Florida. If approved, you will need to drive to our location with your selected family members and dog(s), in order to meet the dog you are interested in adopting. It is suggested, for those coming to the Meet and Greet, and if possible, that a second vehicle be brought, so that the newly adopted dog, can ride home apart from the other dogs, allowing them time to decompress.

• Applicants must be at least 25 years old.
• Placement priority is given to homeowners and home renters.
• In some cases, depending on the specific dog, we would require the applicant have a fenced yard.
• Applicants residing in apartments, townhomes or condos, will be considered for dog adoption, depending on the dog desired. However, HOA Rules and Regulations would have to allow for the adoption of said dog. Likewise, home rentals would require landloard approval.
• We place dogs in homes with children who are age-appropriate, according to the desired dog. Not all dogs are well-suited to live with pre-school children and/or infants, so great consideration is given to this.
• Preference will be given to homes with Rottweiler experience, but this will not exclude someone from adopting a dog.
• Please note that we reserve the right to not adopt to homes, wherein reside dog(s) that are not spayed or neutered.
• Some large breed dogs may not do well with small dogs. This may not indicate any level of aggression, but even a large clumsy dog, could potentially injure a smaller dog, especially if significantly smaller. Great consideration should be given to this type of adoption, because of the possible negative outcomes.
• Because some insurance companies do not provide coverage for specific breeds, please make sure your insurance company provides coverage.

We require that all pets in your home:

• Be spayed or neutered, if age appropriate (approximately 16 months).
• Be up to date on vaccinations.
• Have proof of heartworm testing.
• Have proof of monthly heartworm preventative.
• Please note that if you do not currently own a pet, you are still required to list the name of the veterinary clinic you intend to use for your newly adopted family member.

Every application is unique, and comes with its own specific situations and scenarios.  As such, there may be exceptions to some of our requirements, depending on different elements of the application, not the least of which would be the specific dog requested for adoption. Our mission is to adopt dogs successfully, so they can live out their lives happily, in their furever home, bringing joy to their family.  In order to accomplish this, we must follow these guidelines.  It is not our intention to make the adoption process difficult or burdensome.  Everything we do, and every step we take toward every successful adoption, is for the benefit and good of the dogs and their future families.
