Rocky, rottweiler

Rocky is a cheeky male rottweiler dog currently housed at Southern States Rescued Rottweilers.

Rocky gets along great with other dogs and older kids, however he'd prefer to be placed in a household without cats or young children. Rest assured: He's already neutered, vaccinated and has mastered his house-training etiquette.

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

Rocky is a very friendly, happy and silly boy who just loves to play. He is very affectionate and will love you to death! He loves to give kisses galore, and is a very loyal companion. He's a pretty outgoing boy and not shy. He's also energetic, so if you're an active person, Rocky is your man! He has a beautiful, fluffy, long coat — we call him a fluffweiler. And, he has the most strikingly gorgeous eyes that show an old soul.

Dolce, rottweiler

Dolce is an endearing female rottweiler dog in the care of Southern States Rescued Rottweilers.

Dolce is a social animal — she's happy to keep company with other dogs or kids. No need for concern: She is already spayed, house-trained and vaccinated. 

A few words from Dolce's current caretaker:

Dolce is older than some of our babies available for adoption, but she is still playful and just a little feisty! She wants to be in your lap, by your side and is ready to go for walks or rides. She isn't a pup though, and enjoys a little nap afterwards. She also loves her rubs. At first she wasn't too sure about this bath thing, but then she realized there were rubs involved, and now she randomly tries to get in the tub. Dolce loves to give kisses, and will give you just as many as you will let her! She will let you know what she likes and doesn't — a little grumble here, lots of kisses there. She is a one-of-a-kind girl. Dolce is such a sweet girl, and is very smart and affectionate.
