Adopt-a-Rott (Ontario)

Our Available Rottweiler List...


Is always changing and dogs are always waiting until there is a free spot to come into our program. Complete an application on-line from our website if you are interested in adopting.

URGENT!!!!
We are in desperate need of Foster Homes! If you have dog experience and can temporarily take in one of our temperament tested Rottweilers for fostering...please contact us!

All expenses are taken care of by the rescue. We just require that you care for the dog temporarily until we find a permanent home. Some transporting to vet appointments and training of the foster dog may be needed.

Who We Are


Our mission is dedicated to Rescuing, unwanted, neglected and abused Rottweilers. It is our goal to provide each dog with a second chance at a good life through rehabilitation, health care, training and to adopt each dog as a companion pet into a loving home.

We are a small group of volunteers who have a deep respect for the breed, and fully understand the current challenges involved with successfully re-homing a Rottweiler. We advocate responsible pet ownership and do not support indiscriminate breeding practices. All of our dogs are spayed or neutered before leaving our program.

Dogs enter our program when we receive a call for assistance from a shelter if they are no longer able to provide space for a dog that has not been adopted, or they see that the stress of staying in a shelter is taking it's toll. Due to the large numbers in shelters that need our help, we cannot accept dogs from private homes.

Adopting a friend

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.

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.
