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 and none receives a salary, including officers and directors.  As our organization grows, we intend to expand our efforts .

Rocky is a devilishly handsome boy that loves belly rubs, affection, and to be groomed.  He is very happy and is always wagging his tail.  Rocky is looking for his perfect forever home where he needs a Rottweiler savvy owner that can give him a job to do to keep him occupied and engaged.  He likes to play with rope toys, balls, and sticks and likes to explore his surroundings.  Rocky is a very smart boy so he will try to outsmart you if you are not paying attention.  Keeping doors shut and secured is a must with him because he is lighting fast.  He will be very loyal to the person that gives him the extra attention that he thrives on.

Rocky is a very special boy who desperately needs someone to commit to him. He's a sweet boy who craves attention from his people. He needs someone who is going to allow him ample time to decompress and adjust to his new surroundings. He wants to please you, he just doesn't completely understand what is expected of him.  So, he needs a family who is going to teach him how to trust, continue working on his training and show him what it means to be a true family member.

Rocky is doing better at not pulling on the leash, but still has a bit to learn. Basically, Rocky is a full grown puppy. He doesn't realize he's big and he doesn't realize he's strong. Rocky will need to be an only dog and cannot be adopted to a home with cats or small children.

Rocky is house trained, crate trained, knows basic commands, and walks well on a leash.  Because of his size, he will require an extra-large crate or he won’t go in it. Rocky will make someone a very loyal companion !

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.
