We need you! Our 50 or so 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 Elaine if you have any questions.

Featured Dog

Rocky Balboa is a fighter like his name indicates. He was saved from the brink of death by a kind hearted sponsor from a shelter that closed down. A lot of the animals did not make it but it was Rocky's lucky day. Rocky is a Rottweiler mix that walks well on a leashl. He would love older children and other dogs. He may want to chase kitties as he has an intense interest in them.  Rocky needs a foster or forever home. He would make a wonderful companion and his adoption fee is $175 because he is a mix. He is neutered and up to date on shots. Please contact Elaine if you would like to foster or adopt Rocky Balboa. 

Death Row

NOTE: NCRR does NOT kill dogs! We are a RESCUE organization. The “death row” dogs listed below are not in NCRR care, they are in shelters. We are trying to find people to foster or adopt the dogs before the shelters kill them. Won’t you please help?
 

This young gal is in a shelter waiting for a rescue to help her. The shelter is working hard to get her into rescue. She is not on the adoption floor as she has bilateral cruciate ligament rupture and no one will adopt her because she requires surgery. Her only chance is rescue taking her in. She needs a foster home by Friday, May 2, 2008. Once NCRR finds a foster home for her, we will work on getting her surgery for her legs.

She is very friendly and people submissive. When other dogs were barking and lunging at her, she did not respond. 

If anyone would like to sponsor her at $5.00 a day to board, please contact ncrottierescue@gmail .com immediately.

North Carolina Rottweiler Rescue does NOT have any open foster homes and cannot save her unless someone offers to foster or adopt her thru NCRR. If you would like to help save her 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.
 

Haley will have no other choice but to be taken to a kill shelter where she will be put to sleep immediately if she does not find a foster or adoptive home.

Hi! My name is Haley and I am an ADORABLE 3-½ year old pure bred female Rottweiler. I weigh 83 pounds and am on the small side but I'm all heart! [more pictures]

My best friend/sister is a yellow lab. We are getting into too much trouble together and therefore must be separated. I am very well trained but when my sister and I are together and unwatched, well, smaller animals need to watch out!

I am GREAT towards people, including miniature ones called children. 
 
I lived with cats too but not well and should not be tempted. 

I should be supervised around smaller animals.
 
I'm an inside dog because I'm such a big baby.
 
I walk well on a leash and am trained on the invisible fence.
 
I am house broken but may have an accident if you yell at me too loudly.
 
I am spayed. I am up to date on all my shots and on heartworm prevention as well as flea/tick meds.

Gordy - Gordy is a gentleman of about 8 yrs old. He just had a huge tumor remove from the back of his neck. He has manners, pretty good on leash, lets you do anything to him. Great in a cage.  He is very strong, though, and if he wants to go someplace he can pull you. He weighs about 100lbs and is completely vetted now. He just has a super temperament and knows "sit" maybe more, just haven’t tried anything else. [view pictures]

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 Elaine if you could like to talk more about Fuzzy. [view pictures]

Cleo needs a foster home before she is taken to the Animal Shelter. My name is Cleopatra or Cleo for short. My family named me that because I'm the queen of the house! If you're wondering, I am a full blood Rottweiler and I came home on Father's Day 2002, because my dad had always wanted a Rottweiler. They started housebreaking me as a pup, but my dad didn't really have the patience, so I moved out back and became a yard dog. I live in the backyard with my brother and sister. My brother is named Shiloh (doberman mix) and my sister is Besty (a cocker spaniel). I'm a middle child. We're a tight pack, but I also love cats and people. I could care less if you touch my food and I've never been mean towards people. I have never been to school, but would love to go! I love other dogs and it would be so much fun to play. I love swimming and chasing balls. I'm very quiet and also love sleeping in the sun. There's A LOT of me to love since I'm a little overweight. In the past few years, my family has been working a lot, and my human brother and sisters have been at school, so I haven't been for enough walks in the park and I am a little rusty with walking. My parents tell me that it breaks their heart to send me away, but they're being forced to do so by their landlord. It's not his fault either, but the requirement of ignorant people (home insurer's) who believe that all Rottweiler's are inherently bad. I'd like a family who can love me and play with me a lot...and let me live inside with them. Also, when training me, I really like positive reinforcement tactics, like treats and kisses! I'll need some work, but am a fast learner. I'll be 6 years old in May and still have a lot of life left in me. Please please take me home so I don't have to go to jail (the pound). I hear my chances aren't very high in there. Contact Elaine if you’re interested in helping Cleo.

Eli is a 16 month old long haired rottie. We are not sure if he is purebred but he looks pretty rottie to us. He has lived on a chain his entire life. His friend a 14 yr old Rottie was not able to be saved. The man, who went to jail, would not let her be helped. He is having her put to sleep. Eli lived on a chain with no collar and the chain pad locked around his neck. He is being cared for temporarily by his Angel but she cannot keep him long. After she got permission to rescue him she gave him a bath. Eli didn't think it was fun but his Angel could tell he felt much better. It was probably his first bath in his life. After his bath Eli was fed good food and given clean water. The weather had been below freezing and Eli hadn't had any water for at least 3 days! His 5 gallen bucket was only filled up once a week and if the water froze he didn't have any water. Eli is warm and comfy for the first time in his life. He had never been to a vet before but he tested heartworm negative. That is a miracle. I am waiting for someone to offer to let me hang out with them for a while until I find my furever loving home. Eli is very loving and gets along with female med to large dogs. He also likes kids.

NOTE: Eli not in the NCRR foster program. Eli needs a foster home or furever home.

DEAD - KILLED AT THE SHELTER BECAUSE NOBODY WOULD FOSTER HIM.

10/3/07 This is a sad story. Mr. Testy was dumped by his person at a kill shelter. It would be a shame for him to die.  He needs a foster or adoptive home as soon as possible. He isn’t a rottweiler but maybe someone might see Mr. Testy on our website and say “Hey that is the perfect companion for me!” and want to save his life before it is too late. Mr. Testy does not have a kill date yet and the shelter does not want to put him to sleep but they can only keep him so long. The shelter states “His time is running out.” Estimated KILL date is Wed October 10, 2007. NOTE: Mr. Testy is in a KILL SHELTER, not in the NCRR foster program, NCRR does NOT kill dogs

ROCKY IS A SPECIAL CASE-URGENT URGENT-PLEASE HELP

view more pictures

10/24/07 - Rocky had surgery on his leg, October 23, 2007. The surgeon is hopeful the ring fixator surgery will help Rocky to walk without pain (osteotomy-this is what was done to his wrist; distraction osteogenesis-is what was done to his leg to help lengthen it). The surgery was about $3500... plus an additional $1000 for follow-up care. If you would like to make a tax deductible donation to help pay for Rocky’s surgery, please send to:

NCRR-Rocky

9/28/07 - Rocky will be having ring fixator surgery (~$3000) to lengthen his leg to help him walk better. If you would like to donate to the cost of his surgery, please send to

8/14/07. He was found stray and the local animal rescue helped him to take the dog into rescue. No other group could help him so NCRR stepped him.

He sat by the road by a kind man’s home in the pouring down rain waiting for his person to come back and get him…..They never did. He tried to find his people. He never did.  The person that found him named him Rocky because it is obvious he kept getting beat down and would get back up. The kind man got in touch with the local animal rescue and they helped him to get some medical treatment for Rocky.

He's absolutely pitiful. The Demodex and skin infection will get better, but he really needs some help for an old leg injury. He rarely uses his right front leg because of it--and you can tell from the photos that it's twisted and distorted--maybe an old break that never healed properly. It is hard to know what happened to this poor dog. He's heartworm NEG and approximately 5 years old. He's a purebred Rottie. And has very good manners! This is a nice dog—just a little depressed right now.

He is currently at a temp foster home and doing well. He gets along with all the dogs big, little, boy and girl. He is so gentle and loving. He would do well with children. He is crate trained and house trained.

Rocky being SHOT (this is very upsetting). His leg is full of buckshot all the way up. His radius and ulnus were shattered but have fused back together. The injured leg is about an inch shorter than the other back leg. Dr. Betts has looked at Rocky’s xrays and he is not sure if the leg needs to be amputated, left alone or require a Ilizarov Technique Surgery to lengthen his leg. He will be taken to Dr. Betts for an additional xray and surgical evaluation.

NCRR was delighted with the response from all the animal lovers to help Banjo that we thought we might be able to find a special angel to fall in love with Rocky and want to give him a good home.

Rocky’s medical costs to date are $351.00. His appt and xrays at Dr. Betts’ office will be an additional $170.00. If it is confirmed he needs a Ilizarov Technique Surgery the cost will be $3200. We are hoping this is not the case.

NCRR is asking all the Rottie lovers out there to donate money to help pay for Rocky’s medical treatment. All donations are tax deductible and can be made thru pay pal or sent to NCRR 5613 Old Ridge Road Raleigh, NC 27610. Please put Rocky in the memo OR you can make a donation by pay pal to ncrottierescue@gmail.com. A receipt will be mailed to you. Thank you for helping Rocky.

These dogs need to be released from their Kennels to be free to live a normal life. NCRR is looking for loving foster homes for this wonderful companion dogs so they will not have to be in boarding any longer.

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.

BANJO view more pictures | Read special issue of the Stormy Times newsletter | Local family steps up to help rescue dogs (newspaper article)

To those of you who were moved by the story of Banjo, thank you so much for sending in a contribution towards his surgery and rehabilitation. We have to date received almost 25 donations for Banjo and the outpouring of compassion for this dog is heartwarming. A small number of people were responsible for the injuries to Banjo but an even larger number of righteous supporters are stepping up to make a terrible "wrong" into a "right." We still need contributions to the Banjo Fund so please continue to tell his story to your family, friends, and colleagues. Thank you again for your help, thoughts and prayers.

8/24/07 Update: Banjo has been renamed Jake.
All is well here with the troops. Jakey Wakey Pooh Bear has gotten used to the routine and is a dream boy. I really think he loves having a pack to belong to. I do have to monitor his activity because he really loves to play and gets carried away. He is getting used to the raw diet slowly and loves the natural treats that are a part of it. I've been mixing his canned food with the raw to get his system acclimated to it. This boy can certainly EAT! Any time, any amount, day or night, he's ready! 
He is a hit at the office and he has been nicknamed the Mayor by the women since he puts his nose into everything! One of my neighbors is crazy about him and asked if she could take him on her evening walks once his leg is stronger. He leans into her and looks up at her like he adores her. Little does she know that he does that to everyone he meets! This weekend it's supposed to be hot so the little man is going to get a bath. It's been in the 60's since he got here so he has had to postpone his beauty treatment!

8/18/07 Update: Banjo was transported by Jim and Mary Alice to Washington DC where he was treated to a special dinner at a local restaurant while waiting for his new mom, Beth. Everyone that met Banjo immediately fell in love with him. He is now at home in his Furever home enjoying the good life and recovering well from his eye and hip surgery. Thank you to everyone who helped with Banjo and donated to help with his medical expenses.

8/10/07 UPDATE: Banjo will be released from the hospital today. He is doing great! He will be picked up and transported to Greenville, NC for a week of recovery. He will then go back to Dr. Bett’s (www.vsrp.net) for a recheck and stitch removal. At this time he should receive the ok to travel to his new home in PA. Go Banjo Go!

8/8/07 UPDATE: Jay (NCRR volunteer) picks up Banjo from his temp foster home in Raleigh. Banjo sees him and runs to him….YES RUNS to him. He remembers him from the first day he was brought into the NCRR foster program and from his trip from Burlington to Raleigh this past weekend. We almost cried. Banjo was evaluated by Dr. Betts today and will have FHO surgery today for his broken hip. Dr. Betts is hopeful for a full recovery as Banjo has been trying to walk on the leg with the broken hip. His pelvic fracture is healing. Dr. Betts will check out the surgery site where his eye was removed to ensure it is healing well. Xrays will be taken of his face if needed. His pelvic fracture is healing well so no worries there. It is believed Banjo can be transported to his FUREVER home this weekend and do Physical Therapy at home instead of going to a rehab facility. Estimated cost of Banjo’s FHO is $1400.00, a better price than the original estimate of $3500. It is thought that Banjo may be the product of a dog fighting ring considering the bite wounds on his back and that he may have been beat by a person with a blunt object. I guess we will never know what really happened to poor Banjo. NCRR is asking all the Rottie lovers out there to donate money to help pay for Banjo's medical treatment. All donations are tax deductible and can be made thru pay pal or sent to NCRR 5613 Old Ridge Road Raleigh, NC 27610. Please put Banjo in the memo OR you can make a donation by pay pal to ncrottierescue@gmail.com A receipt will be mailed to you. A HUGE thank you goes out to the people who have already sent in donations.

8/1 UPDATE: The vet who removed Banjo’s eye has informed us he will need to have his face wired together due to the cheek being broken. He is not growing any new bone in his face to close the bones that are broken.

UPDATE: Banjo’s eye was removed Friday, July 27, 2007. When the vet found the eye she noted it was almost split in half. Xrays show his cheek is broken in 3 places. This confirms he was hit in the head with a blunt object. The vet also did “plastic” surgery on the gash below Banjo’s eye. Xrays of his hip were sent to an orthopedist and it was discovered he has a broken hip. He will be referred to have his hip repaired. NCRR is collecting donations for his hip surgery. His eye surgery was paid for by a very generous kind person who is adopting Cindy. Thank you Joan! We do not have a price on Banjo’s hip surgery but we expect it will be expensive.

Banjo has no idea he just lost his eye and has a broken hip. He is the ideal companion and is very loving. Many people have expressed interest in adopting him and giving him a loving furever home. He has a family waiting for him in PA but we have to “fix” his hip before he can go home.

NCRR is asking all the Rottie lovers out there to donate money to help pay for Banjo's medical care and transport to NC. All donations are tax deductible and can be made thru pay pal or sent to NCRR 5613 Old Ridge Road Raleigh, NC 27610. Please put Banjo in the memo.  or you can make a donation by pay pal to ncrottierescue@gmail.com. A receipt will be mailed to you.

Update 7/23/07: Banjo arrives at his NCRR foster home. What a wonderful boy! Just wonderful and beautiful! 
The wounds on his back are not burns-they are dog bites...healing well, hair is growing back.
There is an eye where it was originally thought that there was no eye. He may have been beaten with a blunt object. Banjo will go to the vet to get xrays of his face to see what damage has been done to his face to make his eye sink into his head. He has started using his back leg....we are waiting to see what progress is made with him putting weight on it. 

It is obvious Banjo's medical expenses are going to be extra ordinary. He may require facial reconstruction or the eye may not be able to be saved. The best news is that Banjo has an adoptive home waiting for him. Now we have to get him all 'fixed" up and beautiful to go home.

The shelter cannot keep Banjo long enough to find him a home so in order for him to live he needs to be rescued before July 23, 2007! The shelter has taken him to the vet, and he did get a negative skin scrape, and even more exciting he is HEARTWORM NEGATIVE ! He will need future surgery to close his eye where it is missing and has some nerve damage to his rear leg but the vet feels sure that this may repair itself in time. He is currently on antibiotics and pain meds but is doing better every day. This boy is super sweet and quiet, just a big love sponge!

Banjo needs rescue ASAP as the county officials are constantly asking when he will be rescued or put to sleep. Please help NCRR save Banjo, he is a super dog!

Banjo had his temperament test done and passed with flying colors. This poor dog who had someone or something rip his eye out of the socket, maybe drag him down the street tied to a vehicle with terrible wounds on his back and starved to death passed with flying colors. How could this poor loving dog receive such a wonderful evaluation with all that has happened to him? He is described as extremely friendly and even wags his nub and loves yes LOVES people. He is comfortable with his entire body being touched. He will sit with some assistance. He is well behaved on leash and shows no toy possession. He even plays a little fetch. When he met a cat he wagged his nub but did not jump up to get the cat on the counter. He shows little or no interest in other dogs, boys or girls, big or small. He rides well and is sweet and quiet. The shelter says he has an excellent personality to be a great companion despite his poor health condition. He would be gentle for children or older adults.

I don't know what happened to this dog but whatever happened to him makes me ashamed to be a human being.
