The dogs below are urgently looking to come into SSRR. Before we can take them into rescue, we need a foster home for them to go to. If you are an approved foster or a previous adopter, withing the past 5 years, then you do not need to fill out an application, simply email us at rottie.info.ssrr@gmail.com . If you are not already approved with SSRR, please fill out a foster application, by clicking on the Apply to Become a Foster button below. Please indicate the dog you would like to foster on your application.
A foster home is a temporary home for one of our Rotties until SSRR finds a permanent home for the dog. A foster home provides the love and shelter for the dog while SSRR provides and pays for all medical needs.
Being a foster home is not easy. Taking a Rottie into your home, caring for him, loving him, and then letting him go to a new forever home can be very difficult. But, fostering can also be the most rewarding and fulfilling thing a true dog lover can ever do to support dogs in need. You MUST reside within one of the 14 southern states that we cover in order to foster.
PLEASE BE SURE YOU MEET OUR REQUIREMENTS before filling out a foster application:We require a Vet reference and 3 personal references, as well as a home visit. You're dogs (and cats) must be UTD with shots and must be spayed or neutered (unless there is a valid reason they can't be). You should have a fenced in yard and be committed to making your foster a part of your family.
You will be assigned a Foster Coordinator who will be available to help you through our process, answer any questions you may have and will be available to help with any issues along the way. Your coordinator will give you guidance on our policies and procedures. You'll receive dog-to-dog introduction information, foster procedures, a foster manual and other info you need to successfully foster a Rottweiler for SSRR, as well as the full support of the SSRR team.

Amari
Name: Amari
Weight: 63lbs
Age: 4yrs
Sex: Female
ID#: 7788 Run 411
Characteristics: Affectionate, Gentle, Smart
Amari is a beautiful girl! She was on an adventure when spotted and arrived at the shelter on 1/27. Amari is 4 years old and weighs in at 63 pounds. This girl is beautiful and the pictures do not do her justice. She is quiet and gives all her attention to her person. She will sit when asked especially is you have a treat.
Amari was temperament tested by one of our long time, very knowledgeable volunteers. Here is what she had to say...
"I think Amari will be fine in any experience calm home with not too much chaos at first. We Just need to be cautious because she is starving for food and attention.. I did drop a treat and she let me pick it up right in front of her. She is very gentle and willing to learn. I did not see any aggression with food at this time. One dog charged the outside Kennel when we were walking, but she just stopped & looked but no aggression.
I also brought a toy and she wanted to play with it Lost interest quickly but I don’t think she feels well from the upper Respiratory infection or has never had a toy.
I brushed her and she was very tentative to that.
Amari walks wonderful on a leash. She knows sit, paw, and down.
She does have a Nasal deformity, they said, but it did not seem to give her much of a problem. She is very young and would make someone a very good companion. She will be a large dog when healthy. I would say she is about 25 pounds underweight."
We would like to take Amari into SSRR so she doesn't become one of the 3,000 dogs that are euthanized a day because shelters are full. In order to take her, we need a foster home for her to go to. If you are an approved foster, or previous adopter, willing and able to open your heart and home to this sweet girl, NOW would be a good time to step up.

Eartha
NAME: Eartha
SEX: Feale
AGE: 8 years
WEIGHT: 92 pounds
Dog Friendly: YES
Cat Friendly: YES
Kid Friendly: 12 yrs. and older
Location: Liberty Hill, TX
Medical: Spayed, HW NEGATIVE, Microchipped, UTD on vaccines
Eartha doesn’t live with small children but she's very good with the teenage children she does live with. Her mom keeps Eartha away from small children and elderly out of an abundance of caution because of her size and strength. She is playful but her strength can cause bodily harm to smaller or frail individuals if she were to run into them. Her paws are heavy and she's a pretty muscular girl. Eartha lives with a cat and does very well with him. Her mom describes Eartha as a well-mannered house dog.
Eartha is spayed, microchipped, HW NEGATIVE and UTD on vaccines. She doesn’t need anything except for a foster home to go to. If you are an SSRR approved foster or previous adopter and are willing and able to provide that home, please let us know ASAP.

Nina
Name: Nina
Weight: 66lbs
Age: 2 years
Sex: Female
Dog Friendly: YES
Cat Friendly: No
Kid Friendly: 12 yrs. and older
Location: Conroe, TX
Medical: needs to be spayed, HW POSITIVE, needs to be microchipped, UTD on vaccines
SSRR pays ALL medical expenses.
NOTES:
Nina arrived at the shelter as a stray. She is playful, likes belly rubs and seeks affection. She is co-kenneled with another dog and has had no issues.
Nina was temperament tested this afternoon and did fabulous.
The shelter did her cherry eye surgery already, so we do not need to worry about that. She's extremely sweet and playful with puppy energy. She wants attention, is curious, and loves affection. She has no resource guarding and is friendly and curious with nearby dogs. She seems like she'd do well with older children.
We would like to take Nina into SSRR so she doesn't become one of those 3,000 dogs that are euthanized a day because shelters are full. In order to take her, we need a foster home for her to go to. If you are an approved foster, or previous adopter, willing and able to open your heart and home to this sweet girl, NOW would be a good time to step up.
