Rotts of Friends Animal Rescue

Rotts of Friends Animal Rescue Rotts of Friends is a non-profit organization dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and finding 'Forever Homes' for abused and neglected dogs/animals.
(297)

Rotts of Friends strives to educate the public about dogs of all breeds and the understanding of what breed, if any, is best for them, preventing pet overpopulation through spay and neuter, and offering programs to properly integrate dogs as a proper part of the family, including those with children and extended families. Since February 2009, Rotts of Friends has rescued 562 dogs. In February 2012

it reached a landmark and placed its 500th dog into its Forever Home (with more still waiting for homes).
2009 - 174 dogs were rescued
2010 - 196 dogs were rescued
2011 - 158 dogs were rescued
2012 - Rotts of Friends is on track for rescuing 272 dogs
The mission of Rotts of Friends continues to expand to meet the growing needs of abandoned and abused dogs throughout the US. The success of this program is evident in the large number of dogs this organization has helped. The heart of Rotts of Friends started with the deep love and appreciation of the Rottweiler breed. It was the love of the breed which pushed its Founder, Renee Lancaster, to do more to save the Rottweiler from irresponsible breeding and ownership. With increased space being allocated to taking in these discarded animals, the message became clear that the willingness to help must extend to other breeds going through the same dilemma of abuse, neglect, over-population, and irresponsible ownership. Rottweilers were soon joined with German Shepherds, Pit Bulls, and other large mixed-breeds, and today includes all breeds large and small. Rotts of Friends expertise and contributions are now recognized throughout the state as a viable option for these otherwise "non-adoptable" or to-be-euthanized animals and has rescued dogs from Border to Border and dogs displaced due to national disasters.

Just some cuteness for all rottie lovers. These are Al babies. Just to show off their precious faces. Probably will solicit some a***e haters who don’t understand the necessity of some planned and responsible breeding. Enjoy!

Adopted! “Grit” now Nova, and “Twister” now Rocco. Grit was the surviving female pup that was a foster fail to our volunteers on the left. Andria was a HUGE reason these pups lived. Twister was foster failed to her best friend on the right. Both families took these handicapped babes and helped them recover. Love you guys and look forward to having you on the ROF team❤️👍. “ Snoot” is the next babe ready for a home. There is one more, “Flopsy” who has some real issues from head trauma, but is slowly recovering. We will keep you posted. Please beware of crazy mama dog owner comments and just ignore. ( see previous posts re: Lizzy) we have not blocked her yet because it’s good for our followers to see what we deal with🤪

Meet “Lizzy”. This beautiful female rottie is available for adoption after a grueling pregnancy and spay. Hence, a Renee rant and education post. 😇What this rescue did was enhance my belief that many people are scammers, liars, and entitled individuals that take no responsibility for their own actions or lack of when it comes to animal welfare.The type of person who relinquished ownership of Lizzy is also the type of person who makes Rotts Of Friends reluctant to take in owner surrenders. Sucks for those people who really need help. However, unfortunately, Lizzy’s previous owner has done ALL of the behaviors to create negative ju ju for a rescue that goes above and beyond. Facts: When I agreed to take Lizzy, it was after a panicked call from Miriam who had a rottie who just whelped a supposedly accidental breeding. She sent me a picture of the mom with puppies in a crate not big enough for a supposedly first time mom. No wonder the dog bit a puppy in the head, requiring staples and emergency care. I felt sick for the dog and told her I would take her if she came immediately. I rearranged my morning, set up our nice whelping room and waited for the arrival. When she arrived, we quickly got everyone settled but several of the pups were already fading ( know what that means Miriam)? And mom was extremely stressed. All of the pups had head wounds on close examination so they were removed from the bitch. Myself and a dedicated volunteer HAND Raised the pups that had survived. Tube feeding every two hours, antibiotics for wounds, etc etc! I went to Florida for an emergency and Andrea kept them alive and thriving. LOTS of work! Andrea adopted Grit as a big foster fail😘👍Her good friend adopted Twister and we still have Snoot and Flopsy. Now I see the audacious post from Miriam ( see post from 2 days ago). It just rubbed me the wrong way. Of course I would never follow up with you! First of all, you lied about the dogs age and condition. You were absolutely not appreciative of the fact that we took your problem of your hands and spent ALOT of money to get her the care she needed. No shot records, horrible worms, a spay that cost more and was more dangerous because of previous C SECTIONS that you conveniently forgot to mention, and the fact that I found an email from you 2 years ago when you were trying your dump her then. Now, how about your Facebook posts sharing how you did not spay her because you PLANNED to breed her? And the post that you were advertising this current “ mistake” litter and how excited were!?! By the way, we have screen shot all of those posts because we know you will try yo hide them. Anyway, facts are facts. Lizzy is off to a better life with no more difficult pregnancies. I don’t care honestly about your crying kids or your fake tears. I only care about animals and people who are real. Please NEVER get another rottweiler. If you would like to prove the dogs age, please send a picture of the AKC papers. Vets don’t lie. Her uterus was A MESS. I know folks like you have to have the last word, so feel free. We know the truth and facts so feel free to keyboard, yelp and review away😘You just ruin it for others who are legit. And my followers wonder why we rescues occasionally go Ape sh$&@! 🙏🐶I thought this would be a great time to post a picture of our wonderful group of volunteers. Please keep in mind the great work we do and how hard it is at times to stay sane. Period. I like to share some of these circumstances for educational purposes. If you have comments or questions, please keep the discussion polite I’m allowed to vent ha ha thank you for always supporting us.

Meet” Snoot”! This darling pup needs a home. Currently she is with super volunteer/ foster Andrea who has done a fantastic job . There are 4 pups in this litter that Auntie Renee and Andrea have hand raised from day 1. “Lizzy”, the mom is a gorgeous rottie and dad was probably a shepherd. Lizzy did not want to be a mom and injured the babes. “Snoot” had her little nose sliced by mammas tooth so she grew up with the cutest off center nose. We LOVE her! Call 530-681-1326 for info on adopting this show stopper❤️😇

Go to Solono county Animal Services Facebook to read this lovely story. Clayton was trapped after wandering for days in rural Fairfield. Officer Bradley loves these cases and went above and beyond using her own vehicle to deliver him to ROF so he would not have to be detained at the shelter. He was so feral the first day, but look how cuddly is is after getting him on leash and contained. ❤️
