Rotties are my favorite...my dear Chase Hendrix, a rescued Rottweiler, passed away in August from cancer at 13 years old. He'd been with me a decade and he was the most comical creature! I will never forget that dog! (Just had to post a photo of him now!)

What are your Rottie's names? How old?

We were looking to adopt another Rottie after Chase passed away but my BF and I have always loved Dobermans and when we found out this guy needed a home we didn't hestitate. He's a wonderful dog--and he's improved his manners and obedience SO much in the 27 days he's been with us. There are alot of Rottie mannerisms in the Dobe...but wow, they are a whole lot "hoppy-er"--bounce, bounce, knocking things over, bumping into tables. Positive energy personified! You just gotta get one...LOL

Anyhow, excuse the ramble, typical me...:rolleyes: I have heard of House of Hoyt--great lines but VERY pricey indeed! And alot of the rescues are incredibly expensive too--not to mention the pages of forms and criteria you have to meet...I understand why but so many good potential homes just give up in exasperation.

Might I suggest that you post an ad on both Petpages.com and Petfinder.com?
The first is where we found my Mom's adopted Dachshund--we had to travel to Washington State to get her but we couldn't find one in British Columbia in our price range so it was worth the trip to adopt this one. They are both great sites...and there is both 'for sale' and 'for adoption' ads so you can't go wrong. If you post an ad looking for a rescue/adoption Dobie I imagine you should get some replies. Also, browse all the ads they have on the sites. Good luck...let me know your general area and I will do some looking on the rescue boards for you.
