We teamed up with the local rescue Real Rottweiler Rescue when 7 large breed mixed puppies were surrendered by their owner/breeder. The parents are a 175# male Rottie and a 90# female Doberman. The puppies were basically kept in a barn setting not getting much socialization outside of the barn until they were surrendered to the care of the two rescues. We agreed to take 3 total and Alice is the last one looking to find a home!
Please read up on the breeds as this is a great breed mix but in the hands of an owner who does not understand the needs of a Doberman and the working traits of a Rottweiler added to the expected full grown adult size an unsuspecting dog lover smitten by puppy eyes and antics will be in a pickle if raising the puppy the right way doesn’t happen at an early age. We highly recommend Puppy Preschool by John Ross.
Typically our dogs stay in a foster home where we can learn as much about them as possible to assist with our efforts for making the best match with a new home. The adjustment period for every dog is different while they are transitioning into a foster home as well as a forever home. Our foster providers send us their foster reports and the information received is updated on our website throughout the dogs time with us.
Our Foster Provider Program is an integral part of our mission to Respect the Dog. Without fosters, we wouldn’t be able to do what we do. We are always actively screening individuals and families to provide our dogs with a safe, structured, foster home to give each dog the time, love and respect they deserve while they are in search of landing their forever home.

We are not open to the public. Our dogs are typically in foster homes. and therefore we ask that you not to come to our facility to meet dogs unless you have an appointment made in advance to do so.
Come to any one of our events featured on our events calendar page which are also posted on our Facebook event page. Event times and locations are subject to change.
We schedule in-store ‘Meet-Our-Mutt’ events twice a month held on the 1st and 3rd Saturday of each month. The dogs are chaperoned to the event by volunteers and we typically have the arrangements for which dogs will be on site a few days prior to the event date.
To inquire about which dogs will be at an event send our volunteer in-store events coordinator an email in advance.
Private introductions with a volunteer or the dogs foster provider are arranged after we have received an adoption application.
