Thank you for wanting to help a rescue dog!

We are a volunteer organization dedicated to finding homes for unwanted and abandoned Rottweilers. If you would like to adopt a Rottweiler through our program and live in the province of Ontario, (Canada), please complete the form below. *If you do not live in Ontario, Canada, we can forward your application to a restricted national Rottweiler Rescue e-list or direct you to a local Rottweiler Rescue group.*

After you have completed the application, and it is approved by the adoption committee, we would visit with you in your home. We would then match your family with a Rottweiler best suited to the dog's needs and your requirements/lifestyle. You and your family would then come and meet a potential match.

There is a $350.00 adoption fee. All dogs from our program are spayed or neutered, vet checked, vaccinated, fecal analysis, heartworm tested and microchipped for identification.
