Mountain Rottie Rescue

WHO WE ARE

We are Mountain Rottie Rescue of New York, Inc .

A 501(c)3 non profit organization

MRR of NY is located in the Catskill Mountains & The Capitol District of New York area.. We are dedicated to re-homing homeless Rottweilers.

Some of our dogs are owner surrenders , but Most of our dogs come from kill shelters in The New York State area. We also pull dogs from out of State Shelters, such as Virginia , Arkansas, Alabama and Georgia -Where the Gas Box is still used to euthanize dogs .

Some of our dogs are cruelty cases & come from abusive pasts - we offer rehabilitation & training to these dogs and have successfully placed most of our cruelty cases into new loving homes.

All our our dogs are temperament tested before acceptance into our program. Our members consist of Certified Dog Trainers, experienced animal handlers & experienced Rottweiler owners. Any dog adopted from Mountain Rottie Rescue of New York has been fostered in a home prior to adoption. All of our Dogs are up to date on vaccines, Heart-worm tested, on prevention, spayed /neutered, micro-chipped & activated .

Mountain Rottie Rescue adopts out to the following locations: NY,NJ,VT,CT, parts of PA & Western Mass. We also adopt out to other neighboring states based on volunteer availability, please contact us to see if we cover your area!!

I have been rescuing Rottweilers since 2002,I was with Majesty Rottweiler Rescue, Inc for 4 years and founded Mountain Rottie Rescue of New York in 2006. I am a Certified Dog Trainer/ Behaviorist & graduated from Animal Behavior College in 2007 . I rescue because I want to help make a difference in this world for the homeless, abused and neglected dogs of society . Mountain Rottie Rescue was founded as a safe Haven for Adoptable Rottweilers until new homes could be found. I have dedicated my life to this work and focused much of my time & efforts to working with Abused Rottweilers - to help them overcome their troubled pasts . I am inspired by the dogs who have come into my life, for they have taught me the most about Animal Behavior & forgiveness . I am grateful to our adopters -whom without none of this would be possible & thankful to my family who has stood by me for all these years. . I truly feel that this is the path I was chosen for & I love the work I do.

My story starts when a relative of mine had a rottie that he could not keep as he was moving overseas. I had met the dog, Tasha, a few times and quickly feel head over heals for her. My husband, however, did not want a dog and said if we ever got a dog "it wouldn't be rottie". I convinced him to dog sit and he too quickly feel in love. Our love for Tasha made us want to help others in need. I knew Tasha was spoiled and I knew others needed help, but I never realized the extent of the abuse and neglect that so many dogs suffer from until I became involved in rescue. I used to take a few nice vacations but I have now realized there is nothing more rewarding to me than seeing a dog that has no one, been dumped at a shelter scared, hungry, to be put down, find a loving home. I know we can't save every rottie but I will do my best to help the ones we can. Since Tasha's passing I have fostered several rotties, helping them find their forever homes and have adopted two wonderful rescued rotties.

My first adopted dog, Annie, has led me to rescue. She has proven how awesome rescue dogs can be and how every homeless dog deserves a chance. Every dog that has since come into my home she takes under her wing and helps me get them ready for their own home. She is patient and kind, lets them sleep on top of her but also teaches them how to behave. To watch her give back what she has been given is the most amazing thing and it makes me love what I do even more.

I am thrilled to be part of Mountain Rottie Rescue, coordinating rescue and volunteer work in Vermont. I grew up in a family that was involved with dog training, and with animal rescue and have continued in this vein all of my life. In 2001 I became very involved with dog rescue, and began to focus on Rottweilers, a breed that I cannot imagine my life without. I am grateful for all of the people and each dog I have come across in rescue, each dog I meet makes me more dedicated to rescue. I wake up thinking of rescuing Rottweilers, and go to bed still thinking about the Rotties. My husband and I currently have four adopted Rottweilers (three started as fosters) who remind us every day of how lucky we are to have rescues in our lives.
