 I WOULD'VE DIED THAT DAY IF NOT FOR YOU

I would've given up on life, if not for your kind eyes.
I would have used my teeth in fear, if not for your gentle hand.
I would have left this life, believing that all humans don't care.
Believing there is no such thing as fur that isn't matted... skin
that isn't flea bitten, Good Food and enough of it....... Beds to sleep on.......Someone to love me............to show me I deserve love....... just because I exist.
Your kind eyes........... your loving smile.......your gentle hands.....
Your big heart saved me!!!!!
You saved me from the terror of the pound.
You have soothed away the memories of my old life.
You have taught me what it means to be loved.
I have seen you do the same for other dogs & cats just like me.
I have heard you ask yourself in times of despair.. why you do it????
when there is not more money..... No more room.... No more homes....
I see you open your heart a little bigger...... stretch the money a little tighter.....
Make just a little more room.....to save one more like me.
I tell you this with all the gratitude and love that shines in my eyes.
It is the best way I know how.......
Reminding you why you go on trying....
I AM THE REASON
The dogs & cats before me are the reason
As are the ones who come after.
Our lives would've been wasted...... Our love never given.....
WE WOULD'VE DIED THAT DAY IF NOT FOR YOU!

ChesterChester was a rottie no other rottweiler rescue in NC would take a chance on.  He was waiting to die in a kill shelter in Chester SC when NCRR decided to help him with the help of his adopted family and a few others people who thought he deserved a chance.   Chester made the trip all the way from NC to CO to his furever home.

    I thought you would like some updated photos of our wonderful Chester. Thanks to all of you who helped to save him and make him ours! He had his heartworm treatment and has done really well. Such a good dog!
    Happy New Year to all of you and your dogs.

drake DSCF1506Drake - He is sometimes into swimming, but always into any games that involve athleticism.  That dog is one of the most athletic creatures I have ever encountered.  He is also one of the most devoted and obedient dogs I've ever known.  Don't misunderstand, he can be willful, pushy, and also a bit of a wuss..."It's too hot outside, I must come in".  "I hear thunder, can't possibly stay out now."  "Going down to 50, gotta' be in tonight".  But his few flaws are my fault, not his.  He understands that he is loved and when I mean business, he complies! He and the red hound stray that we took in are best buddies.  They parallel play with/tolerate the elder God-knows-what Bassett cross, and Corgi x Shepherd that we got from the shelter years ago. The ancient Anatolian Shepherd (different shelter) just ignores everyone.  All in all, it works. Just wanted to let you know what a great thing you do for these dogs. Having done horse rescue for some time, always enjoy hearing about the successful matches that sometimes occur; figured you guys are the same.  Keep up the good work!
Best regards,
Joan H.

keira - 3 dogs in carKeira - Just wanted to send you a happy note on a rescued rottie. Keira is the second rottie that I've adopted from NCRR and the second wonderful experience. She loves her mixed breed siblings, is getting use to playing in the water, has done great with all new dogs, kids, new people, and new situations. I joke that she's a "beacon for her breed" because she is just so good hearted and loves everyone who meets her. Attached are photos of her life you made possible.

Thanks again for all the work you do. Over the 7+ years that I've known this organization, I continue to be impressed by the lives you save and the lives you impact.

Keno


Killian - Killian is coming along WONDERFULLY! !!!! She has now become part of the pack in our house and can not STOP playing with everyone! She has become SO much less fearful seeing the other dogs play with us and is
showing more affection everyday to my husband and I. She is learning very well on her leash, and already knows sit. She's a big baby who is finally able to be a puppy and she's living it up. She is finally learning that it's ok to show us her belly, cause when she does we rub it (she loves having her belly rubbed :) New pictures with her foster sisters and brother

Dear Diane and everyone at NCRR,

Thank you for the Christmas card.  It prompted me to give you an update on Noel (who I have renamed "Lucy"...she is such a Lucy!)  She is doing great....loves everyone, doesn't know a stranger.  She and I have been going to obedience class and want to continue to therapy dog certification and agility work....she loves running through the tunnel!  Everything is a game to her so training is easy and rewarding for both of us.  On the advice of my trainer, I take her to Sunny Acres doggie day camp once a week.  She is in the yard with the BIG dogs and she runs and runs all day.  At home she is a snuggle bunny and thinks she is a lap dog.  Her entire body wiggles when I bring out the leash and she loves to explore in the woods.  Please add this to your "Happy Tails" page or your blog so others can be happy for us, too.  She keeps me laughing and busy and I know there are more people out there who will give some of your other dogs a home. 

Also, I want to say again that I would love to do volunteer work for you...particularly events, etc.  I love to talk to people about dogs, training, etc.  I am happy to help in any way.  One day when my older dog is not with us anymore, I will be able to foster, but right now it would be too much for him. 

Thanks to all of you for rescuing Noel, now Lucy, and for all that you do. 

Merry Christmas!
Joanne, Lucy and Dukie

We just wanted to say thank you to Rottie Rescue for your dedication and commitment to the breed and to Mackinzie for the love and care she has shown Roxy while nursing her back to health.  Mackinzie took such great care of Roxy and I can tell that Roxy appreciated it.  Roxy is truly a blessing in our home and she continues to amaze us every day with her love and gentleness.  Christmas came early at the Kemp house and our children could not be anymore delighted.  Our daughter Sadie thinks Roxy is her “big baby” and that seems to be alright with Roxy.  They are fast becoming pals.

We will most certainly stay in touch and thank you again for the wonderful gift you have given both my family and Roxy as I assure you she will get more love and attention then she can stand.

Zoey

On February 9, 2008 my family, including our 8 year old rottweiler and I took a 6 hour car trip to go pick up our new family member , Zoey.

We have been wanting a puppy for a while. I searched for breeders on the Internet, but something inside of me did not want to get a puppy from a breeder. I looked for rottie rescues in West Virginia where i live. We have none. So I started looking anywhere. I came across NCRR and just knew this is where I am getting my dog.

I saw Zoey's picture and to be honest she was not the prettiest dog, but was young. She had mange and did not have a lot of hair in her face, and did not have a lot of hair period.

My husband and I discussed it and the next day we went to get her.

When we saw her we knew she was ours. She still was hairless and had a respiratory infection but we took her anyway. Our other dog liked her and so did our 1 yr old. We met a great family who had been caring and loving Zoey. Then we drove home with 2 rottweilers, a baby and a 6 hour car ride.

Today May 8, 2008 Zoey is a big part of our family. She has a shinny new coat and is cough and mite free. My little girl and her get into things TOGETHER and are always together. Zoey knocks her down often , but she get right back up and is like oh well that is just Zoey. We love her a lot and we'd be lost without her
