Ramses, rottweiler

Ramses is a charming male rottweiler dog currently residing at Southern States Rescued Rottweilers.

Ramses' ideal forever home would be a cat-free environment. He's already house-trained, neutered and vaccinated. He also has special needs, so please inquire about them. 

Here's what Ramses' friends at Southern States Rescued Rottweilers think of him:

I was lucky to be rescued from a shelter. My prior life was a little dark, and unfamiliar situations can really scare me. I'd love to be an only furchild, so you and I can navigate the world slowly together and we can learn to trust each other. Would you give me a chance at a forever family? Thanks so much for listening to me!

Lilly, chihuahua and dachshund mix

Lilly is a female chihuahua and dachshund mix being cared for at Rescue Without Boundaries.

Lilly is looking for cat-free family. She has mastered her house-training etiquette and is already spayed and vaccinated.

Notes from Lilly's caretakers:

I'm looking for a forever home with or without kids. The best thing about being me...well, I love to cuddle next to you. Did I mention how smart I am? I know how to use the doggie door to go potty. That's pretty smart. I can't wait to meet you! I just know we can live happily ever after. Please email my foster mom if you would like to meet me.

Hulk, rottweiler

Hulk is a male rottweiler dog currently residing at Southern States Rescued Rottweilers.

Hulk is ready to make friends — he'll get along great with other dogs, cats and children. Fear not: He's already house-trained and crate-trained. He already has had all of his shots, and he is neutered.

From Hulk's current caretaker:

Hulk was picked up as a stray from Louisiana. He is currently living with his foster mom, two other Rotties and two cats. He is very good natured and gets along well with all his new four-legged friends. While he has had some leash training and is housebroken, it will take some work for Hulk to learn good manners and basic commands. Hulk would do best in a home with other doggie playmates but without small children.

Halle, rottweiler

Halle is a female rottweiler dog currently residing at Southern States Rescued Rottweilers.

Halle will get along great with your other dogs but needs a cat-free environment. Have no fear: She's already house-trained. Her vaccinations are up to date, and she is spayed. Because she suffers from arthritis, she has some special needs.

Notes from Halle's caretakers:

This sweet black and mahogany girl is also a trained service dog. She comes from a loving home where she was the only much-loved dog and achieved multiple AKC awards— from rally novice to grand champion. She loves playing ball, strong chew toys and swimming pools. She cannot be crated for eight hours while her humans work, and she should not be left with small dogs or cats. She will be a great addition to the right individual or family. Is that you?

Moe, Australian shepherd and shepherd mix

Moe is a male Australian shepherd and shepherd mix staying at Shelter2Rescue Coalition.

He has been vaccinated and neutered. Have no fear: He is already house-trained.

Moe's current caretakers say:

Moe is a precious, playful Australian Shepherd mix. He has enjoyed meeting other dogs, and seems to do well with them, big or small. He has a great personality—loves to play fetch, tug of war and go exploring. When he is not active, he doesn't mind curling up on the sofa for cuddles or resting under your feet watching TV.
