Bella
Current Size: 80 Pounds
Current Age: 2 Years 10 Months (best estimate
Location: Wakefield VA 23888
Bella is the SWEETEST! She loves nothing more than to smother you with love kisses. Bella is still very much a puppy and has a lot of energy. She would do best in an active home with plenty of room for her to run around. Bella loves to chase lizards, squirrels. balls, and just about anything! She loves to drink water from the hose and play in the sprinklers.
Bella was attacked by a couple of dogs at one point in her life. She has been undergoing training and doing well with understanding other dogs and that not every dog is going to try and hurt her. Because of the attack, Bella does not do well with hyper or highly active dogs. She will be adopted to a home with a laid back, mellow dog or a home without another dog.
Bella does great walking on a lead. She is working on not jumping up on people. Meeting new people gets her very excited. As a result, small kids may not be the best option. She is very smart and learning very quickly. Bella loves snuggling on the couch and just being with you. We can not say enough good things about this dog.

Current Size: 100 Pounds
Current Age: 3 Years (best estimate)
Location: Sweeny TX 77480
Don is very friendly, happy, energetic and very playful. He loves tug toys and will play with a jolly ball for hours. He is very affectionate and can't get enough love. This boy is not shy at all. He plays pretty rough so we do not recommend small kids. Don V gets along with any dog. He has met dogs from the size of Chihuahua to the Great Danes. He is very friendly with both male and females but does like to be dominant. He was not used to being leashed and did not have very good manners when he came into SSRR. He would jump on you and push through doors when he wanted out. Don V has come very far and doesn't jump anymore and no longer pushes through when he wants out or in. He is used to a leash now but does still pull some. Don V was surrendered to the shelter by a couple who had 12 dogs that they had previously used for breeding. He was well taken care of though. He didn’t have fleas or heartworms when he came to us. His favorite snack is carrots! He's overall super sweet and affectionate. We recommend an adult/older kids home with people who have large dog experience.

Southern States Rescued Rottweilers, Inc. (SSRR) is a non-profit charitable organization dedicated primarily to the rescue and subsequent placing of Rottweilers that have been lost, abandoned or abused. SSRR is set up under section 501(c)3 of the IRS Code. We are made up of a group of Rottweiler owners and fanciers from several southern states. Our primary goal is to function as a bona fide rescue organization. Our secondary goals include promoting the public's knowledge and appreciation of Rottweilers, and to distribute materials about the health, training and development of Rottweilers, particularly Rottweiler rescues. |

A knowledgeable volunteer carefully evaluates all Rottweilers that are accepted into the SSRR program. All Rottweilers are placed into foster care until a permanent home can be found. All Rottweilers are spayed or neutered prior to placing. We aggressively seek loving and permanent homes. We utilize word of mouth, personal contacts and the Internet to find suitable homes. All dogs are placed with a contract designed to protect the dog, the new owner and SSRR. SSRR accepts tax-deductible donations from individuals, estates, and corporations. All SSRR representatives are volunteers. No one receives a salary, including officers and directors. As our organization grows, we intend to expand our efforts. |

We are in need of foster homes! A foster home is a temporary home for one of our Rotties until SSRR finds a permanent home for the dog. A foster home provides the love and shelter for the dog while SSRR provides and pays for all medical needs. Being a foster home is not easy. Taking a Rottie into your home, caring for him, loving him, and then letting him go to a new forever home can be very difficult. But, fostering can also be the most rewarding and fulfilling thing a true dog lover can ever do to support dogs in need. If you are interested in becoming a foster home, please fill out a foster application.
