Rottie Friends Rescue is a small, self-funding, not-for-profit Rottweiler rescue based in Somerset, established around 15 years ago in memory of a passionate animal advocate. Run by experienced volunteers with qualifications in force-free training, behaviour and canine therapies, the charity rehabilitates and rehomes Rottweilers, Rottweiler crosses and other specialist breeds. Dogs come into care from private homes, stray kennels and partner rescues, with some remaining as lifelong sanctuary residents due to abuse, neglect or medical needs. Rottie Friends relies on donations and sponsorship to cover the high costs of rescue and offers careful rehoming procedures to ensure each dog finds the right forever home.

Mollie is not a Rottweiler but a 2 year old Tibetan Mastiff and another specialist breed we work with. Mollie came in needing eye surgery re Cherry eyes, she has now had this surgery and healed well. She does need daily eye drops but is quite happy having these put in. Mollie loves other dogs and has lived with two other dogs previously. She would like canine company in a new home as isn’t keen on being on her own. Mollie is suspicious of new people and will protect her territory and friends which is natural for her breed. Once she knows and trusts you she is an absolute cuddle monster. She is looking for an experienced rural home in SOMERSET with land and will need frequent intros before she trusts new people.

Hi, My name is Rae and I am 5 yrs old. I was rescued from the meat trade in China by my original rescue. My past is pretty grim but we don’t focus on that as its over now and I am safe. Although the people at the previous rescue were very kind I found the environment over exciting and stressful as there were many other animals there and this affected my behaviour. I came to Rottie Friends as its much smaller and breed specific so they could give me the time and training needed. I am learning to relax and am a good weight now. People haven’t always been good to me but I am now making friends and learning to trust people and stay calm around them. I am learning to tolerate other dogs but am NOT social. In my previous life I learnt to hunt to survive so I have strong predatory instincts although I’ve been doing lots of scent work and training to help with this and need to wear my face mask and be on lead if other dogs are close. An ideal home for me would be one that had its own secure land and no other pets or animals, with adults who have breed experience and time to continue my training.

Shelby is a sweet 6 year old boy who has come into rescue due to owner’s ill health. He has lived with a female rottweiler previously and several other male dogs and could do so again after intros at rescue. Shelby is a sensitive soul as he was abused and found with a head injury when five months old. However if you are kind and calm he comes round very quickly and loves back scratches and company. He enjoys his walks but also to relax on a sofa. He is seeking a retirement home and needs company. Shelby has an underlying health condition that is not currently causing him any problems, we can discuss this in full with anyone interested in adoption.
