AVAILABLE ROTTWEILERS All of our adoptions go through a defined and proven process which has allowed us to have many dogs rehomed into their forever homes. We have a very low return rate as we are dedicated to policy of "best fit" - meaning the "right dog" in the "right home". Our adoptive homes must fill out an application, have a telephone interview, all references will be checked and a volunteer will visit your home to meet you and your family - we try to get to know our adoptive homes as well as we know our dogs. We do our "matchmaking" by getting to know our potential adoptive homes as well each individual dog in the rescue. That way we can set up dog and home in accordance to their lifestyles and experience level. We are not like a pound....we do reference checks, and a home visit to meet the potential home. All our dogs live in foster homes, not kennels, so we get to know them too.....they are all altered, vaccinated, micro chipped, HW tested and anything else they need to be in the best possible health prior to adoption. We also temperament-test all dogs prior to acceptance into the program, and our foster homes allow us to continue to assess the dogs in a real home environment. Available Sadly there is no shortage of Rottweilers needing homes - we have many great dogs in our program looking for wonderful forever homes. As explained in the text above .. we place "best fit" ... so if you are interested in opening your heart and home to a rescue dog please fill in the OnLine Application below. There are always more dogs waiting to come into our program then we can help. Sadly, only those who have been lucky enough to secure a foster home have been able to enter. We can never have enough foster homes to deal with the dogs that have been picked up as strays or dumped into shelters. The dogs listed here do not always include the most recent additions to our program as we get to know them a little through their foster family before listing them as available. If you have dog experience and could find it in your heart to open your home to a Rottie in need - we're always looking for foster homes. If interested in offering a permanent home Click here to fill out our "Online Adoption Form" PLEASE NOTE - A completely fenced yard is required for us to proceed with any application.
ENZO Look at this happy face!!! At only 6 months old, little Enzo is just full of personality and fun. He came to us from a family that loved him very much but sadly could no longer keep him. Being young and with a very solid temperment Enzo took his transition to a foster home right in stride. He has been delighting his foster mom and many others with his sweetness and ability to just have fun! His tail is always wagging and he is always "smiling" Enzo is housetrained, walks well on leash and knows all his basic commands. He is also good with cats, other dogs and all people.
This simply DEVINE 4 year old girl personifies what a female Rottweiler is! Gretel found herself, through no fault of her own, on death row at a local shelter. The staff there realized was a wonderful dog she was and contacted Adopt-a-Rott. Thanks to a couple of our wonderful volunteers this girl was saved at the 11th hour and taken to foster care
Since arriving Gretel has done nothing but put her best paw forward, she is great with people, good with other dogs and even good with kitties. She walks well on leash and has wonderful house manners. Her wiggling bum with everyone she meets tells the story of what a great girl she is. Gretel did come to us with a bladder infection which is being treated and she is also on some supplements for suspected arthritis in her back leg.
Meet Joe ... A 1.5 year old Rott boy who is another wonderful example of the breed. Joe is a very lucky boy as he had the misfortune of ending up at a high kill shelter that is known to not be very fond of Rottweilers. This sweet young boy did his best to change that opinion and we were contacted to take him - which we happily did. Joe is now safe in foster care where he is getting over the kennel cough he caught while at the shelter, as well as gaining some weight. Joe's foster mom has been delighted with what a good dog he is. He is good with the other dogs, the cats and everyone he meets. He walks well on a leash and knows all his basic commands, travels great in the car and can be left loose in the house with no issues when she is away.

Bubba is a 1.5 year old boy that despite not seeing seen much good in his short life, has a wonderful and kind personality. This poor guy was starved by his previous owners and weighed only 67lbs when he was finally turned into the shelter. Because of his compromised condition he almost died when he came down with kennel cough, and it was only thanks to the kindness and actions of another rescue that saved his life. Bubba has now recovered medically, while still thin he has gained back some weight and you can see the life in his eyes as he realizes that there is love and kindness in this world. This boy is very appropriate with other dogs, is crate trained, house trained and walks nicely on leash. He is very affectionate and will think nothing of climbing into a lap if possible.

Ruby is a 1-2 year old girl that is looking for a special home - one that will show her love and kindness - something she has not had before. When Ruby and her Mom were finally surrendered by their abusive owner they arrived with logging chains around their necks and cowered at the back of their cages. Ruby is now in temporary foster care with some wonderful people where she has learned that not every one is bad. Ruby is a very sweet girl, not an ounce of aggression in this dog, she is good with other dogs and despite being previously starved takes treats very gently. She loves cuddle time and is now crate trained. She still needs some more training with the leash as she does tend to pull a little. Ruby has come a long way from the scared girl she was, however she does still cower a little when first meeting someone - this too will pass with time support. If you have the extra love in your heart to share with this wonderful girl .. she will give it back 10 fold.
Gumby is a 1-2 year old boy that just came into our program, he is a happy boy that makes everyone laugh with is sense of humour. This poor guy was on death row at a shelter and thankfully saved at the very last minute by a wonderul AdoptaRott member. Gumby is now safe in foster care in the Ottawa area with a male and female Rottweiler where he is thrilled to be part of a family. He is housetrained, crate trained, and walks nicely on leash. This boy is going to make a lucky home a wonderful companion.
Rugby is another 1-2 year old boy that just came into our program, he is a smaller boy with a great big heart. In danger of being euthanized due to over-crowding at the shelter it was a last minute effort by many great people that got this boy sprung on a Friday night and on his way to a foster home in the Toronto area the next day. Even though we are beyond capacity at this point we couldn't say no to his sweet face. Rugby is wonderful boy with tons of personality, good with other dogs and people of all sizes.
Pheebs is a 2 year old girl that just found her way into our program, she is a very sweet and affectionate girl that was found running stray in North Toronto. The shelter contacted us as her time was up and we fortunately found her a foster spot. She is now happily living in the Oakville area with a male Rottweiler. As this girl is new to us please check back for more updates. Pheebs deserves a forever home that will love her and show her what a family is.
Andy is 3-4 year old boy who's pictures do not do him justice! He is a Rottweiler/Cattle dog mix that is the neatest boy. We had gone to the shelter regarding another dog and after meeting Andy could not leave him behind. We thankfully found him a foster home in the Erin area with a male Rottweiler and this wonderful boy is so very grateful to be in a home again. It is obvious that Andy was someone's dog a some time and he has wonderful house manner and is very well behaved. While he loves to play, he is just as content to lay by your feet and keep you company. Andy is going to make a wonderful companion for a vey lucky home.
