Read more about Buck

Buck is a handsome puppy that is always full of energy as most puppies are. He is always excited to see you or meet new dogs. He loves to go on walks and runs which is a great way to tire him out. If you looked up the word "love" in the dictionary. you would see a picture of Buck. Buck is very much a puppy still and needs training. However, with some patience and consistent training, he will be the best boy ever. He is good on a leash so far and doing well with crate training. Sometimes he will bark loudly when he doesn't want to be in the crate, but that only lasts a few minutes before he settles in. Buck was found as a stray in poor condition. He deserves a loving and safe home with people who want to give him the best life he deserves. Meet Buck today!

She will be having surgery soon to relieve the pain she feels from the injury to her back leg. Once she has recovered, she will be ready to find her forever home. Adoption Process:If you are interested in adopting one of our fun-loving, "not-so-rotten" Rotties, you will be asked to fill out our adoption application which allows us to get to know you better. This ensures the dog you are interested in is a good fit for your family and lifestyle. You can access our Adoption Application by visiting our website at www.rottenrottie.com (http://www.rottenrottie.com/), clicking on Adopt a Rottweiler, Adoption Application, and submitting the form online.After reviewing your answers, if we feel the dog you are interested in is not a match for your family, we may recommend a different Rottweiler companion. Once we determine which dog is best for you, we will schedule a meeting at their current home, where they feel most comfortable and act naturally.We require a home check to ensure each dog is going to a safe environment. To finalize the process, an adoption contract must be signed. We also require a rehoming fee, which is typically $500 for most adults and $350 for seniors (6 years and older) or Rottweiler mixes of any age (excluding puppies). Fees for puppies fluctuate depending on the investment required for the litter and whether they are purebred or a mix. These funds are necessary for our organization to continue rehoming Rottweilers in need.All of our dogs are spayed/neutered, fully vaccinated, microchipped, and have tested negative for heartworms. Each dog comes with a collar and a leash. We also address any injuries or illnesses they had upon arrival or developed in foster care; any such conditions will be fully disclosed to the adopter prior to the adoption.Please Note: In almost all cases, we do not adopt to out-of-state applicants. On rare occasions, if we feel it is a PERFECT match for both you and the dog, we may make an exception for our neighbors in Las Vegas. If you live in Las Vegas and would like to be considered, please fill out our adoption application.

But do they love each other? Absolutely.

They are best friends. He loves her. She loves him. Watching them together is ridiculously sweet, and there’s something special about the friendship these two have formed.

Both are around 2 years old and sweet as can be.

Now, I’m not one to call every pair of dogs that comes in together a “bonded pair.” Snoopy and Lucy actually do just fine when they’re separated. They don’t need each other.

But do they love each other? Absolutely.

They are best friends. He loves her. She loves him. Watching them together is ridiculously sweet, and there’s something special about the friendship these two have formed.

Both are around 2 years old and sweet as can be.

Snoopy is the little guy with a big personality. He loves his toys, loves attention, and is happiest snuggled up with his humans.

Lucy is pure sweetness. She loves her people, loves affection, and has such a goofy fun way about her.

Two completely different dogs. Two completely different sizes. One very adorable friendship.

We would absolutely love to see Snoopy and Lucy find a home together, because seriously… look at them!!

Adopting a dog with children in Prescott Valley

Bring the whole family to meet the dog before you adopt, and ask the rescue how the dog behaves around children your kids' ages.

Teach children to let the dog come to them, to stroke gently, and to leave the dog alone while it's eating or sleeping. Give the dog a bed or crate of their own to retreat to, and always supervise young children with a new dog.

Relaxed adult dogs are often a better match for young children than puppies, which jump up, nip and chew while they learn.
