Rottweilers have been one of the most popular dogs in America for over twenty years.
But not every person who has gotten a Rottweiler should have gotten one.
These dogs are abandoned by the thousands of people every year to animal shelters and Rottweiler rescues, usually through the stupidity of their owners and not through any fault of their own.
Rottweilers have different needs than other breeds, which is why some kind-hearted saints have started non-profit Rottweiler rescues.
Be sure you know something about the needs of Rottweilers before you go looking for a Rottweiler rescue.
If you are not sure about the requirements for the breed, many Rottweiler rescues will be happy to get you accurate Rottweiler information.
Most Rottweiler rescue websites do include articles on the training, feeding and other needs for Rottweilers.
They need a lot of exercise, interaction and consistent training.
These dogs can become crazy with boredom if left chained in a back yard.
Good Rottweiler rescues are easy to find in almost every state in America.
You can ask for a recommendation from anyone you know that has adopted a Rottweiler you admire, from your vet or from your local animal shelter.
You can also check the classified of dog magazines.
But the fastest way to find Rottweiler rescues is on the Internet.
Remember, you are not shopping for a Rottweiler.
Dogs are not merchandise - they are feeling, complex members of your family and should always be treated as such.
If you find a website claiming to be a Rottweiler rescue that is selling their dogs, will ship them to you immediately, and does not have you fill out any applications, this is not a rescue.
This is a front for a puppy mill.
Keep looking! Even though Rottweilers are decreasing in the nation's puppy mills, due to their size, there are still some imprisoned in the puppy mill system.
You will not be allowed to take a dog or puppy home for free from any Rottweiler rescue.
Once upon a time, dogs were given out for free from shelters, but those dogs tended to end up in terrible fates like for sadistic rituals, for medical research or for dog fighting.
Now, the adoption fee is usually somewhere between three to four hundred dollars.
Often the fee for puppies is larger than for adults.
This also discourages impulse "buyers", making you think about what you are getting yourself in for.
If the original owners of the dogs took time to do this, there might not be so many abandoned dogs.
Good Rottweiler rescues will also not ship a dog to you.
This is also to be sure the dogs are going to good homes.
They will require that you pick the dog up.
Also, long before you are allowed to do that, your home and background will be checked to be sure you will provide a good home.
You will be grilled about your knowledge of Rottweiler information until you get a headache.
