Rotten Rottie Rescue

10/29/2026

This 13 year old Rottie named Ruth is at the Bisbee Animal Shelter in Bisbee, Arizona. She was brought to the shelter after her owner went into Hospice. I know there are a lot of rottie lovers in Arizona that love caring for the seniors, so I am hopeful this post will help find her a loving home to live her days out in. Please read the shared post and see if this old gal can find a comfortable and loving place in your home and heart 💜

Please note, we do not have any info on this pup. If you have questions, please contact the shelter in the shared post.

Meet Ruth – Looking for a Loving Fospice Home

Ruth is an approximately 13-year-old Rottweiler mix who recently found herself back at the shelter after her beloved human had to enter hospice care. Through no fault of her own, this senior girl is looking for a new place to spend her golden years surrounded by comfort, kindness, and love.

At her age, Ruth has perfected the art of taking life at a slower pace. She's a mellow, laid-back lady who would love nothing more than a cozy place to relax and a person to keep her company. She isn't looking to take on the world anymore; she's simply looking for someone to share her days with.

Ruth has recently been diagnosed with hypothyroidism, a condition that requires lifelong medication. Because of her ongoing medical needs, Ruth qualifies for our Fospice Program at the Bisbee Animal Shelter!

Our Fospice Program gives approved adopters the opportunity to welcome a senior or medically needy animal into their home and love them for the rest of their days, without having to shoulder the financial burden of their care. The Bisbee Animal Shelter covers all approved medical care and food costs for the duration of the animal's life. This allows our Fospice families to focus on what matters most: giving these special animals a comfortable, loving home.

Ruth has already experienced a difficult change late in life. Now, we're hoping to find someone willing to open their heart and home to this sweet senior girl and show her that her story still has plenty of love left in it.

Could you be the soft landing Ruth deserves? If you're interested in learning more about our Fospice Program or giving Ruth a place to call home, please reach out to the Bisbee Animal Shelter!

🐾❤️ WOW! WHAT AN AMAZING ROTTOBERFEST! THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS! ❤️🐾

We are still feeling the love from Rottoberfest 2026, and we want to take a moment to thank EVERYONE who helped make this event such a huge success!

To our incredible volunteers, who worked tirelessly behind the scenes, setting up, cleaning up, organizing, decorating, and doing a million little things that most people never even see — WE COULDN’T DO THIS WITHOUT YOU! ❤️

To our generous donors and sponsors, who contributed auction items, services, money, food, and supplies — your generosity is what makes events like this possible!

And to everyone who bought tickets, attended, bid on auction items, donated, or simply helped spread the word — THANK YOU for showing up for our Rotties! 🐶

🎉 TOGETHER, WE RAISED APPROXIMATELY $20,000! 🎉

That is an incredible amount of money, and we are beyond grateful! Every penny is desperately needed to help pay down the veterinary bills, training expenses, and other debts we’ve accumulated while saving Rottweilers who had nowhere else to turn.

But we also want to be transparent about where we stand.

💔 Even after raising $20,000, we are STILL approximately $20,000 in debt.

Rescue isn’t cheap, especially when you refuse to give up on dogs simply because their medical needs are expensive or they need extra time and training to become adoptable.

We celebrate every life saved, but the bills don’t stop coming. And neither do the Rottweilers who need us.

So… STAY TUNED! We’re already thinking about our next fundraiser! 🎉🐾

In the meantime, if you weren’t able to attend Rottoberfest, didn’t win that auction item you wanted, or simply have a little extra love to share with a Rottie in need, we would be incredibly grateful for your support!

❤️ Tax-deductible donations can be made through:

🌐 Our website: www.rottenrottie.com

💙 Venmo or Zelle: 480-567-4328

No donation is too small. Every dollar helps us dig out of debt and continue giving these amazing dogs the second chances they deserve.

From all of us at Rotten Rottie Rescue, and especially from the Rottweilers whose lives you’ve helped save — THANK YOU!

We may still be in the hole financially, but thanks to all of you, our hearts are overflowing. ❤️🐾

Because every Rottie deserves a chance, and together, we make those chances possible!

If you attended post your pictures here please!!!❤️❤️🌁

Charolette is Safe!Thank you to Courtney Sample for stepping up to foster her! Because of you, we were able to save her from the Shelter’s euthanasia list. You are the true Rottie Hero!

UPDATE! 📣Adeline, now Juno, has been adopted from MCACC!! 🎉 Yay!! Happy life beautiful girl! ❤️🐾

Adeline has been at Maricopa County Animal Care & Control in Phoenix, AZ since 09/13/2026. Waiting patiently for her forever family to adopt her. Adeline is a beautiful, fun, and affectionate girl. We don’t know what her previous life looked like, but we know it wasn’t good. She has clearly been used for breeding multiple times, but that didn’t put out her light. Adaline deserves so much more than she has gotten in this life and we would love to help her find a family that will commit to her, care for her, and love her forever. I’m always blown away when a dog like Adeline is overlooked for so long. How could her previous family not care for her? How could they use her and her body the way they did? She’s not simply just a tool to make money. She has a soul. She has feelings. She has an energy that makes you smile and lights up a room. We would love to bring Adeline into Rotten Rottie Rescue. In order for us to get her out of the shelter and into our rescue, we need a foster home to place her in. This will give us the time we need to get to know her, take care of any medical or training needs she might have, and then we will be able to adopt her out to her forever family. However, if you don’t want to foster Adeline and would like to adopt her directly from the Shelter, you can do that. She is available for adoption through MCACC. All you have to do is head down there and meet her. However, if you have pets in the home that you want to introduce her to you will not be able to do that prior to adopting her from the Shelter. The good news is, if we were able to find a foster and bring Adeline into our rescue, then we will be able to determine what type of animals she can live with and facilitate an introduction with your animals at home. If you live in the Phoenix Area and are interested in Fostering Adeline through us, please go to our website www.rottenrottie.com complete our Foster questionnaire. We are really hoping that we are able to give Adeline life she has always deserved. Please reach out if you have any questions.

Charolette is safe! A Foster stepped up and we were able to rescue her! We can’t wait to see what her future holds! 💕🎉🐾

Another Emergency! We need a foster for Charolette in the Phoenix Area by 10/26!

Well this wasn’t a great way to end the day. I just opened up Facebook to make a foster search post for a scared Rottie named Charolette because I was worried Maricopa County animal care control was going to put her on their euthanasia list. Unfortunately, the second I open FB, the first post I see is a networking post about her. MCACC has put her on their euthanasia list. 💔 We have until October 26 to find a foster home for her and save her life.

We don’t know much about Charlotte. We know she was found as a stray, but we don’t know much else. All I can tell you is that she is scared at the shelter and she doesn’t deserve to die. You can read everything we know about Charolette, I included the link to her shelter notes below.

We are in Gilbert, AZ so we need a foster in the Phoenix metro area. We will also need Charolette’s fosters help bringing her to Gilbert to the rescue for meet and greets with potential fosters and to our vet in Gilbert for any vet appt’s she might have.

We will support you every step of the way. We cover all costs associated with Charolette- food, bedding, kennel, toys, vet care, training, and anything else she may need.

If you are interested in fostering Charolette, please complete our foster questionnaire www.rottenrottie.com. I have also included a direct link to it below.

📣 It’s been a busy few days! MCACC had 2 Rottweilers on their euthanasia list. This had us racing against their deadline and the odds to find 2 foster homes in 2 days. Thankfully we did it! We were able to rescue BOTH! 💕🎉

Yesterday we picked up the gorgeous Zeke from MCACC and today we picked up sweet Gino!

🐾Zeke went right to his foster home where he caught up on some much needed sleep. We can’t thank his fosters Nelly & James for taking in Zeke! They have fostered so many of our Rottie’s over the years that I’ve lost count! They have helped us save so many lives and their commitment to fostering makes all of this possible. We are forever grateful for you Nelly & James! You are AMAZING!!

🐾 This morning we drove back out to MCACC and picked up Sweet Gino! We drove him straight to our vet Dr. Carr. He was a good boy at the vet and we are waiting on some test results. After the vet, Gino was off to his new foster home with Charlotte Steele! The best part is that Charlotte is a dog trainer! She will help Gino get over his need to mount people when he gets overstimulated. Thank you so much Charlotte, we are so relieved that you offered to foster and train Gino. We know that sweet Gino will do amazing with your direction!

We are so excited for what Zeke & Gino’s future holds!

📍Zeke and Gino are available for adoption to Arizona residents.

Update: Foster Found!! thank you Charlotte Steele, a local dog trainer for “That dog Trainer” in Mesa has Stepped up to care for Gino and he has been
Pulled off the e-list and we will pick him up tomorrow. Charlotte thank you for being a Rottie hero!!

🚨 URGENT: FOSTER NEEDED IMMEDIATELY! TODAY!! 🚨🆘
GINO WILL DIE TOMORROW MORNING WITHOUT YOU! 💔
📍 Phoenix, Arizona Metro Area — We need you! Gino needs you!
This video of Gino is from 10 AM today. He is improving, but we are down to the final hour to find a foster in the Phoenix area to save his life! His time is up at the shelter, and we have to let them know by tonight. If we don’t find a foster today, he will be euthanized in the morning! 😔
We currently have ZERO foster applications for him. Can you be his hero?
🩺 Medical & Care Needs:
* URI Recovery: Gino is getting over a kennel cough/URI. Symptoms are subsiding, but he must be kept separated from other pets until completely symptom-free.
* Nose Bleeding Diagnostics: He needs to see our vet in Gilbert ASAP to figure out why his nose was bleeding (could be nasal polyps, autoimmune, etc.). He did amazing getting fluids today and just wanted pets!
* Dog-Friendliness Unknown: Must be separated from family pets initially. Once healthy, our team will help facilitate safe intros.
* People-Friendly & Sweet: He loves people and attention! He has a history of mounting from overstimulation when healthy, but our team will walk you through exact management strategies.
* Commitment: Must be willing to keep him safely separated if he doesn’t mesh with your resident dogs post-recovery while we find a replacement foster.
Our rescue is completely full and we have nowhere else to place him. Opening your home to Gino will literally save his life today. 🐾
