Rottie Connection


The Rottie Connection (TRC) is a non-profit organization. We are individuals living across the North East area who have been drawn together as volunteers for the sole purpose of preserving and protecting pure breed and Rottweiler mixes; plus other dogs in need.

Our Rottweiler's come from animal shelters, humane societies, veterinarians and from good Samaritans who cross paths with ones in need. They are evaluated for temperament before being accepted into rescue.  We also assist owners "re-home" their pets, by doing referrals with the owner acting as the foster home.

We require potential adopters to fill out applications which include veterinary and personal references and home check agreement. We match the adopting family and dog carefully to make their new home a forever one. A donation is required at time of placement. This helps cover the cost of spay/ neuter, heart-worm test (treatment if needed), worming, vaccinations and other vet care.
Our dogs live in various foster homes across the states and are brought to a central location to allow potential adopters to meet several dogs at one time.
We are always available to our adopters and encourage them to keep in touch and allow us to help any way we can, because The Rottie Connection commitment is for the entire life of our dogs.

This beautiful girl is Babette. We adopted her a little over three years ago. From day one she became part of our family. At that time our daughter was only a toddler, and as you can imagine they have developed quite a bond. In fact our daughter refers to Babette as her Sister. We love Babette more than we could ever express.  

 

Last month we noticed Babette’s gait seemed off – she looked as though her bones were aching or sore. We took her to the Vet for some testing ($600.00). A week later she started to hold up her right hind paw, so we immediately returned to the Vet who ordered X-rays ($600.00). The tests results revealed Babette’s problem—a torn ACL. The surgeon felt that due to Babette’s weight/size, it would be best to use a newer technique which requires the implantation of a metal plate ($3200.00). Two days later she had the surgery. We didn’t want to postpone the procedure because we wanted to help our Babette feel better as quickly as possible. We have spent approximately $5000.00.

 

We just found out that Babette has torn her other ACL. Now we’re facing another $3200.00 in medical expenses. This has put such a strain on our family. All we want to do is make Babette feel better so she can enjoy the many years she has ahead of her. We look forward to creating even more memories and sharing love and kisses with our wonderful Babette. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

What is Rescue?


A dog becomes a rescue candidate for many reasons--something may have happened to his owner, or perhaps someone simply decided that they didn't want him. For whatever reason, there are thousands of these dogs out there in need of help. Rescuers spend thousands of hours helping these dogs, and it is heart breaking, expensive work. There are hundreds of dogs put down each day because there aren't enough helping hands, enough good homes.

Not everyone can go to a shelter and bring dogs out--individual situations vary. There are many other ways you can help, however. Below are some of them--



BEFORE YOU BREED--make sure there is a GOOD reason why your dog should be bred. Realize too, that you will be responsible for the lives of the puppies you produce--and that homes must be selected carefully. It is your responsibility as a breeder to take a puppy back if a home doesn't work out.

BEFORE YOU BUY-- Make sure, that you realize you are making a commitment to that dog FOR HIS OR HER ENTIRE LIFE. Make sure you understand what kind of dog you are getting (no matter what breed). Know what the characteristics of the breed are, and whether or not it will fit in with your life-style.

DON'T BUY FROM A PET STORE OR BROKER--The purchase of any dog is much too important to do on the spur of the moment at the local mall. Puppies in pet stores normally come from puppy mills, where they are often raised without regard for health concerns or socialization.


Plea for help!!

Everyone knows that without money less dogs are saved.  We need your donations to be able to rescue and to find good homes for homeless dogs. If you donate the amount of one average meal out for two people; then 10 dogs get to eat for a week or 1 dog can be spayed/neutered.
