March 13, 2011 - Two 6-year-old, purebred Rottweilers, are seeking home. Great with Kids, Dogs & Cats

Over at the Southampton Animal Shelter, Donald Bambrick, animal shelter supervisor says Jada and Trinity, both 6-year-old, purebred Rottweilers, are seeking homes.

Bambrick, said the dogs were given to the shelter after spending six years with their family.

"Both are housetrained, walk nicely on leash, and are very social with people, dogs, and cats," Bambrick said. "Not only are they devoted to each other, but they will also be two of the most devoted family dogs you will ever meet."

If Jada and Trinity are not the type of pet you are looking for, there are plenty of other animals that need love and care.

All animals are licensed, up to date on their vaccinations, micro-chipped and have been spayed or neutered, according to Bambrick.

Adoption fees range from between $40 and $60 for a cat and $60 and $125 for a dog.

To adopt Jada and Trinity or any of the other animals available for adoption, call the shelter at 631-728-7387 or visit 102 Old Riverhead Rd in Hampton Bays.

Meet and greet homeseeking Rottweilers !!

If you'd like to meet some of the "Rotties" being offered for adoption by North East Rottweiler Rescue & Referral, now's your chance!

The nonprofit organization, which covers all of the New England states, northern New Jersey, and parts of southeastern New York, doesn't operate a shelter, so you usually have to make an appointment to meet their dogs, after having submitted an adoption application.

NERR&R adheres to the following objectives:

• Educate with regard to responsible ownership including but not limited to training, husbandry, breeding and health practices.
• Preserve the Rottweiler breed through education, rescue, placement and other services.
• Rescue and re-home Rottweilers who are not a detriment to the breed.
• Offer consults to people with Rottweilers having difficulty finding housing or insurance.
• Assist other rescue organizations in their endeavor to achieve similar goals.

Here's a list of some of the dogs available for adoption through North East Rottweiler Rescue & Referral.

Update for our Rescue Nina - Still needing a forever home

Our Rescue Nina had spent a whole weekend with a potential new family.
She had visited with them twice before this visit. First with me there and then me leaving for short time during the day.

The transition went pretty well overall. But this will not be the home for Nina. We have Nina very socialized with children but Nina has never lived in a home with children. While she was very obedient. The child in the home was not ready and not comfortable with a big dog. Nina liked the child but did not listen or obey to the child.

My rehab programs are built around a healthy pack structure so it is very important for Nina's future new family to understand Canine Pack Structure and how to lay the groundwork when introducing an adult dog or dog at any age into the home. You can read some information here. This is one of my favorites sites. And the most imformation on this subject in a very easy to understand language. Leerburg.com

Nina has been with us for almost 2 years. She came out of NYCACC Shelter and was taken there by police after her people got busted for drugs and other stuff. And of course she was on the Euth list for failing the evaluation. She was used to guard the factory for the most part and had no real training or socialization of any kind. Sooooo.... me being me.....Kodis Club pulled her and I agreed to bring her aboard.
And she was pregnant on top of it all. Her whole litter died. She was a very sad girl. She has been a worker here. She was one of the primary care-doers for Georgie C, Doug, and puppies that came in and more. A very self assured dog with a nurturing personality and the normal Rottweiler calm confident disposition.

She has been a real joy to work with and she has excelled in her obedience training.
She is such a good girl. She is all Rottweiler that is for sure. Her future new family is Rottweiler Experienced and they understand the importance of the proper groundwork to ensure a healthy bond.

One day a family will know that Nina is the Rottie Girl for them. Until till then. She will remain here. If you are interested in fostering Nina or any of the Rescues we bring in to rehab. Please feel free to contact us or visit our website www.rottstop.com
