Rescued from Doubt, Placed with Love
Death Row Dogs | Dogs Available for Adoption
North Carolina Rottweiler Rescue is the only non-profit Rottweiler Rescue Organization based out of Raleigh, NC that has been rescuing Rottweiler dogs since 1998. NCRR is an all-volunteer organization dedicated to saving the lives of homeless Rottweilers and placing them in qualified homes. Note: We often have other breeds available so, even if you’re not interested in a Rottie, please check out our Adopt Me page.
NCRR does not have a shelter and depends on the generosity of the people who offer to foster dogs in their homes. NCRR volunteers do not receive pay for their help and all money raised by fund-raisers, donations and adoptions goes directly to benefit NCRR rescue companion pets.
View our Mission Statement
Every week, NCRR turns away shelter dogs due to lack of space. These dogs died at the shelter where they were waiting for their angel to come and “save” them. Please remember, NCRR can only save the amount of dogs we have foster space for. NCRR has no open foster homes and depends on the generosity of Rottie/animal lovers to open their homes and hearts to a dog to foster until a furever home is found. Please take a look at the following “deathrow” and look into your heart to see if you can save a life that would otherwise become a sad statistic.
NOTE: NCRR does NOT kill dogs! We are a RESCUE organization. We are trying to find people to foster or adopt the dogs before the shelters kill them. Won’t you please help? To see NCRR dogs that are currently in foster homes and available for adoption, click here.
You do not have to live in North Carolina to become a foster home or adopt from NCRR.
Help Wanted: Temporary foster homes in Raleigh area for short overnight or 1-6 day stays until the dog can be moved to a more permanent foster home. It would be helpful if the temporary foster home has capability to help with transport of the dog. Please apply if you think you can fill this very critical role for our rescue. Your help, although short-term, is urgently needed.

We need you! Our current fosters rock! But we still need more foster homes in order to save the never ending numbers of homeless and abused dogs. Do you love animals and have some dog training experience? Can't afford to adopt a dog but would like the companionship? We have several beautiful, big Rottweilers in boarding that need a patient, guided hand to teach them manners and to make them more adoptable. NCRR has a large support network of volunteers, fosters, and training experts that can provide any assistance you may need to rehabilitate your foster dog. PLEASE FILL OUT A FOSTER APPLICATION AND HELP US MOLD SOME OF THESE ROUGH GEMS INTO GREAT COMPANION DOGS! Contact ncrottierescue@gmail.com if you have any questions.

Won’t you please help, Jager??? | more pictures
Just let me know last night I had to watch my 21 year old son sit and cry while he was petting him and I made a promise I wouldnt let anything bad happen to him I cant break it like I did to my horses I promised them they would never leave me and here I am having to give them up. Thank you so very much Its been a week and you are the only rescue that emailed me back. TY
I may have already emailed you but I am desperate. I have lost my home. The land I lease has been foreclosed on, and they failed to give me any notice because it is family. I have to be off the property by June 10. I am on social security so this leaves me with little options. I have tried ever day for 5 days to find a home, but no one will rent because my dog is a rottie.
Please do you know have a loving trusting foster home or rescue that can help I can't let him go to anyone. He is pure bred 7 years old and in good health. I have his papers. I have had him from the time he was 12 weeks old. He is about 110 pounds (was sick when I got him so he didnt grow as big as some). He is crate trained good on a leash. I use a harness and he heels, stays, listens to verbal and hand commands (knows some commands in German and English). He also know how to track ground scent and air. I was injured in horse accident so never finished his training.
I have 2 sons who are 18 and 21 and we decided best option is for him to go to rescue so he will be well cared for. He has never ever been left outside, always an indoor dog. I always crate him when he’s alone. Cats are also not a good match for him . Great with my friend’s small children: 5, 8 and 13. He will curl up and sleep with them, plays in kiddie pool with them. Not food aggressive, won’t eat until you tell him ok. Loves car rides, very good in car. Does have to eat special food: I feed venison food from pet smart. if you feed any beef, chicken etc.. he will get ear infection and upset belly.
He walk off leash and listens to all verbal commands. Will stay on command off leash. I am telling you everything I can so someone can please help me find him a good home. Just had shots and last heartworm so will need to get recheck for new script. I had appointment but all my money has now gone to a place to live. I also own horses and I have had to adopt them out to friends. So this is not a case of I just don't want to be bothered; We are crushed. He is part of our family but I am one step away from being homeless. My 21 year old son is full-time college student, lives away, so he can't keep him. My younger son leaves for basic training June 14; He is active in the Army. I have no family. Please send this email to any people you would trust with your rottie. He could be used if trained as a search and rescue or therapy dog... just needs more training. He has excellent breeding. He is fixed. Thank you.

Hello Hello..... thank goodness you've come here today it must be fate. Our letters asking for a home for the holidays must have already reached Santa in the North Pole. You see if you are reading this we are still alive, but we won't be for long, without your help. We are praying for a Christmas Miracle, we are hoping and praying that you will take us home for the holidays. We would love to be snug in our beds, and have our stockings hung in time for Santa Claus, while doggie bones dance in our heads. Won't you please be our miracle?
PUT TO SLEEP. HIS TIME RAN OUT: This is Timothy he is around 2 years old and would love to read Christmas Carol with you. More Info to come.
We at NCRR know how busy the holiday season can be: shopping, wrapping presents, cooking and entertaining. But you see you are the only hope these doggies have of ever seeing another Christmas holiday. We know that during this busy time, our chances of saving these two doggies is very slim, but we have to try.

Fuzzy’s time has run out! / Please help
Fuzzy is a NCRR dog that needs a new home.
Fuzzy is an 8 year old long-haired Rottweiler Mix that was adopted from NCRR and needs a new home. She is large and needs a quiet home with no children and maybe one other dog her size to live the rest of her life with. She has impeccable house manners, loves her crate, and is good on leash. She just needs peace and quiet because little things seem to disturb her these days in her mature age. She does like to have her own personal space. Won't you please give Fuzzy a chance and bring her into your home to keep you company. Please contact ncrottierescue@gmail.com if you could like to talk more about Fuzzy. [more pictures]
North Carolina Rottweiler Rescue does NOT have any open foster homes and cannot save this dog unless someone offers to foster or adopt thru NCRR. If you would like to help save its life by adopting or fostering thru NCRR, please email ncrottierescue@gmail.com. NCRR provides medical care, heartworm preventative and can sometimes provide a crate to foster families. You do not have to live in North Carolina to foster or adopt a companion pet from NCRR.

Did you know that some of North Carolina's Animal Shelter still put animals to death by Gas Box? Could you imagine being taken to a room and locked in a small box with other animals and GASSED to DEATH! You can read more about animals being needlessly killed in gas boxes below.
NCRR can't do it without you. If you are interested in saving a life please visit our Foster page or email ncrottierescue@gmail.com. You can become a Rottie Angel for as little as $5.00! Click on the Rottie Angel to find out how you can help aid a homeless Rottweiler in his or her search for a forever home.
We need your help
The dogs above are either in a kill shelter or are NCRR foster dogs urgently needing new homes for various reasons. There are so many. These are only a few of the dogs we have been contacted about. We turn away many, many more that will die. The dogs with KILL DATES will not live another day past their kill date without your help! They are either GASSED IN THE GAS BOX OR KILLED BY INJECTION. NCRR does not have any room to bring them into foster care and safety unless someone offers to foster or adopt them thru NCRR. Please email ncrottierescue@gmail.com if you would like to help by fostering one of the companion pets in need. They are counting on you!
Unfortunately NO ONE has inquired or offered to help any of the dogs above. Isn't there even JUST ONE animal lover in the entire Southeast or anywhere that could help these poor creatures? I know all of them won't be saved, but we have to try.
Please help us save them so we don't have to tell the shelter we could not find help and they will have no other choice but to kill them.

The Gas Box
Many tax-funded animal shelters still use carbon monoxide gas chambers to kill unwanted cats and dogs. This method is considered by many to be outdated and inhumane. Your taxes are funding It!
Animals in a gas chamber do not die quickly or painlessly. They struggle for breath. They claw to get out. This is not a pretty site and will stay with you for a very long time. When animals inhale carbon monoxide, they can suffer convulsions, vomiting, angina, and muscular spasms. Some will not die the first time. There is a better, more humane way, euthanasia by injection. This method is cost effective and takes only seconds.
Shelter workers are at risk from carbon monoxide poisoning when they unload the gas chamber, breathing in low levels of the gas on a regular basis. This can lead to many health problems, and even death. Counties are at risk of lawsuits from these workers if they become ill. Carbon monoxide is also extremely flammable, odorless, colorless, and difficult to detect.
The Humane Society of the United States, American Humane, American Veterinary Medical Association, National Animal Control Association, the American Society of Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, and the Association of Veterinarians for Animal Rights all advocate lethal injection of sodium pentobarbitol. It is considered the most humane, safest, and least stressful choice for euthanasia.
Why do we work so hard to save the dogs? Below are just some of the dogs we could not save due to not having enough foster homes.

The Rottweiler Breed
It is hard to get the public to send in donations because most of the public is not educated regarding the Rottweiler breed. Because so many people do not like the Rottweiler Breed, NCRR tries to educate the public in an effort to remove the stigma that the public has regarding the Rottweiler. The majority of people in our society do not know a thing about Rottweilers and don't believe their lives should be saved. Most of the people who send in donations are people who have or had Rottweilers in the past and know what great companions they are. We also get a few other animal lovers try to help but not nearly enough to keep this rescue saving lives. Won't you think about making a donation to make a difference in a rescue dog's life? You can make a donation thru paypal at ncrottierescue@gmail.com or thru The Rott Shoppe.
