Southern States Rescued Rottweilers, Inc. (SSRR) is a non-profit charitable organization dedicated primarily to the rescue and subsequent placing of Rottweilers that have been lost, abandoned or abused. SSRR is set up under section 501(c)3 of the IRS Code. We are made up of a group of Rottweiler owners and fanciers from several southern states. Our primary goal is to function as a bona fide rescue organization. Our secondary goals include promoting the public's knowledge and appreciation of Rottweilers, and to distribute materials about the health, training and development of Rottweilers, particularly Rottweiler rescues. |
 |
|
A knowledgeable volunteer carefully evaluates all Rottweilers that are accepted into the SSRR program. All Rottweilers are placed into foster care until a permanent home can be found. All Rottweilers are spayed or neutered prior to placing. We aggressively seek loving and permanent homes. We utilize word of mouth, personal contacts and the Internet to find suitable homes. All dogs are placed with a contract designed to protect the dog, the new owner and SSRR. SSRR accepts tax-deductible donations from individuals, estates, and corporations. All SSRR representatives are volunteers. No one receives a salary, including officers and directors. As our organization grows, we intend to expand our efforts. |

Axel NEEDS a Foster Home
|
|
Back in January Axel had been going through Heartworm treatment when the foster noticed a large lump on his back. She contacted the vet clinic, who told her to bring Axel in. Once there, she was told that he had an abscess on his back. She was also told that the abscess could have been caused by an injection he was given. They put the foster on the spot and told her it was an emergency that surgery be done right then. Of course, she wanted to do what was right for Axel and told them to proceed. The condition that Axel was left in shocked us all. I won't post the pictures again as they are very graphic.
Axel went to get his drains removed. Per the vet, Axel was given drugs Sunday night, Monday morning and then the vet gave more after that, over medicating poor Axel. This caused one hell of a problem as Axel had no idea what was going on. Aside from over-medicating Axel, they put 3 leashes on him, a muzzle, a towel over his head, and saw fit to wrestle with him.
After all of this, the rescue received a phone message which said...
"Hi, my name is Dr. Xxxxxx. I need to talk to you about a dog named Axel that's being fostered by a Xxxxx Xxxxxxx. This is Relatively urgent. We need to talk about your plans for this dog going forward. This is a dog that we've been treating for heartworm disease and he is extremely aggressive. We have him under very heavy drugs right now and he is still trying to eat us. This dog is dangerous. And I need to talk to somebody with this rescue about what the future holds for this dog."
When the vet was given a call back, she informed us that she was going to euthanize Axel. She went on to say that she was giving them no options. She said she was not calling the foster to pick up Axel. She then went as far as calling animal control, who went to the vet clinic but refused to take Axel. If you know me, one thing you know is DON’T MESS WITH MY DOGS, and if you do, then you suffer the consequences.
Axel was not euthanized. The repercussions they would go through for doing that would have made their heads spin. Axel was moved to a very special training facility where they could deal with his behavior that he exhibited due to the trauma he experienced.
Today, Axel is doing great and has made an incredible amount of progress! He is ready to go to a foster home with a foster who will follow his trainer’s, and SSRR's, direction.
Axel has been living with dogs from the size of a Chihuahua to a Great Dane. He also lives with a few cats that he does very well with.
Axel's trainers will work with you through his decompression process and help him get used to you as his new person. Axel does not display aggression but will rumble if he is uncomfortable, as any dog would. The key is to listen to what he is telling you. Now that he has learned what is expected of him, Axel will make someone an awesome pet. Is that someone you?

We are in need of foster homes! A foster home is a temporary home for one of our Rotties until SSRR finds a permanent home for the dog. A foster home provides the love and shelter for the dog while SSRR provides and pays for all medical needs. Being a foster home is not easy. Taking a Rottie into your home, caring for him, loving him, and then letting him go to a new forever home can be very difficult. But, fostering can also be the most rewarding and fulfilling thing a true dog lover can ever do to support dogs in need. If you are interested in becoming a foster home, please fill out a foster application.
