We are reaching out to you today in our most dire time of need. While we are in a constant state of need, the time has now come where we’ve reached a critical fork in the road. Do we continue? We are struggling. Our adoptions have become too far and few between. We’ve created online fundraisers, including magazine drive, which helped raise a few hundred dollars, but with the numbers we are caretakers of, a few hundred dollars, even stretched with the best hands, don’t go as far as we need it to.
We were recently contacted by a member of SSRR (Southern States Rottweiler Rescue) regarding an urgent need to place eight Rottweilers. These precious souls were left alone without food or water. Some were indoors; some were outside in a yard full of feces. To make matters worse, there was a nursing mother of seven puppies inside the home. Sadly, two puppies didn’t make it. The other five, the mama, the father, and another female were rescued by animal control. As you can see, the mama Rottie, we named Reona, is awfully thin. You can see her ribs and all of her vertebrae down her spine. She looks so pitiful.
Everyone knows I do all I can to help Rottweilers in need. These eight are no exception. But we need your help too. I know the times are tough. I wouldn’t ask if I wasn’t desperate. Monetary donations are always welcomed. We also can use donations of liquid Ivermectin, dewormers, Advantix, and Promeris. Gift cards to Tractor Supply or Petsmart will help out as well. We can always use toys, balls, dog begs, brushes, collars, and leashes too.
The five remaining puppies are now safely at our rescue in the country with the rest of their family. I personally drove the 1000+ miles to save this family. It was a long road trip, but these Rottweilers deserve a new life. They deserve to know what love is, and what it means to be a Rottweiler, to be a dog. Won’t you please help us help them? These faces deserve a fresh start.
Since I found out about this family of Rotties in Louisiana, I’ve been forced to close off all incoming animals. It’s heartbreaking because people call and email me all day long about a Rottie who is tied up outside at a neighbor’s house, or a Rottweiler at their local shelter who is about to be put down because no one came to claim him. I know I can’t save them all, but with every breath in me, and every cent I have, I will continue to do my part and make a difference.
