Please help for 'Hope'

Hope is a 2 year old female Rottweiler. She is one of the sweetest and kindest dogs you will meet. She was less than 2 hours away from the being put to sleep when we found a foster home who could take her.

 

 

 

She was full of hook worm, whip worms, and roundworms to the point we had to immediately de-worm her or she would have died. She was so anemic it terrible.  She had diarrhea and vomiting for which we had to get her to a vet immediately.  She had 3 big bags of fluids mixed with B-12.  She is finally getting under control but has to be hand fed about every 1.5 to 2 hours so she can hold it down.

We desperately need donations to continue to help this girl to heal and begin to live the life she is meant to.

Man stabbed rival’s rottweiler

A man who stormed into his love rival’s Wolverhampton home armed with a knife and stabbed his pet rottweiler has escaped an immediate prison sentence.

Damian Hubble was so distraught when neighbor Daniel Morgan got his fiance pregnant that he went round to the flat, demanding: “Tell me the truth”, Wolverhampton Crown Court was told.

When Mr Morgan let him into the apartment in Wodensfield Tower, Wednesfield, Hubble produced a 12in kitchen knife from behind his back and lunged at him.

The five-year-old dog jumped up to protect his master and bore the brunt of the attack, said Ms Alka Brigue, prosecuting.

The pet suffered stab wounds to the back and shoulder that required more than £600 in veterinary treatment.

Organic Milk Company Pressure to Close a 'Puppy Mill' Works!

....Horizon sent an inspector to B & R the next day and found dogs living in
filth. The company suspended the farmer, John Stoltzfus, who has since
dismantled his dog-breeding operation, according to Pennsylvania Department
of Agriculture records....

....Smith says the Whole Foods letter was a "huge step" forward because
"consumers have always had the power to close these facilities.".....

B & R Puppies, which had been cited by authorities as recently as a year ago for housing dogs in squalid cages and failing to vaccinate them-was also supplying milk to Horizon Organics. Horizon is a major presence in markets like Whole Foods, where animal welfare is paramount.

The April article, "A (Designer) Dog's Life," highlighted Smith's efforts. Before NEWSWEEK published the story, I notified Horizon and Whole Foods that my piece would reveal they were buying and peddling organic milk from a farmer who mistreated dogs. Horizon sent an inspector to B & R the next day and found dogs living in filth. The company suspended the farmer, John Stoltzfus, who has since dismantled his dog-breeding operation, according to Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture records. That allowed him to resume supplying Horizon, which he began doing earlier this month.

Vet fined £10,000 ($15,000 USD) for illegally docking puppies' tails

Vet pleads guilty to docking tails of puppies after an investigation by the RSPCA

A Rothley vet has been prosecuted and fined for illegally docking tails of a number of Rottweiler and Doberman puppies.

Ade Jolaosho, 56 was last week fined £10,000 after he pleaded guilty to illegally docking the tails of nine Rottweiler and six Doberman puppies in a case brought by the RSPCA.

Rottweilers are not an authorized breed and although Dobermans are, these were to be used as guard dogs, which is not an authorized use. The court rejected his argument and said that he had enough experience to understand the legislation.

“This case shows that vets must make sure that they understand this and do not dock tails of other puppies.”

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.

Rottweiler Adopts Wolf Cub

Ulrok, an 18 month old rottweiler has adopted his young pal, an eight week old wolf, Beldaran, since she was rejected by her parents at only a few days old.

Ulrok has been playing the protective father role for Beldaran for the last two months since she was rejected only days after she was born.

They sleep together, frolic in the sun and even howl at the moon in unison - and their unlikely union brings a smile to the face of everyone who sees them.

Beldaran, who weighs just five pounds, was adopted by the Rottweiler when she was just four days old at the Kisma Preserve in Mt Desert, Maine, USA, after she was rejected by her parents.

Since then the unlikely pair have been inseparable in everything they do.

Ulrok - a rescue dog whose previous owners imported him from Europe and gave him up when they couldn't cope - and his new love eat, drink, play and sleep together.

Ulrok and Beldaran spend all of their time together at the reserve where they are cared for at the centre's sanctuary. The organisation takes in creatures of all breeds and all sizes.

Heather Grierson is the director at the Kisama Preserve in Maine, America, where the pair are living. Ms Grierson stated:

‘It’s a true love story that has touched the hearts of everyone who visits. You just can’t be in a bad mood when these two are around.’

‘Ulrok stepped up. It worked out brilliantly. He would clean her and, when she was making whimpering noises he would bound over to investigate.’
