Meet Poppy—formerly known as Ramona.
We recently rescued Poppy from Maricopa County Animal Care & Control, where she was at risk of euthanasia due to extreme fear.
Thankfully, she now has a second chance. Our incredible trainer, Karen with Dynamic Dog Training, has welcomed Poppy into her board-and-train program to help her grow into the confident, happy dog she's meant to be.
Poppy is currently in training in Dewey, AZ and will be there for approximately 3–4 weeks. During this time, she'll be building confidence, learning structure, and beginning her transformation.
If you're interested in adopting Poppy, we encourage you to apply now so we can schedule a meet-and-greet while she's in training. Karen will work directly with you to show you everything you need to know to continue Poppy's progress at home.
Poppy will also come with lifetime training support from Karen—setting both her and her future family up for success.
She may have started out as a scared and neglected girl, but we can't wait to watch her blossom into the confident, beautiful Rottweiler she was always meant to be.
Please note that Poppy may be younger than 5 years old. She shelter gave her this age and they aren't always accurate. Once she has seen our vet, we will be able to give her a more accurate age
Adoption Process:
If you are interested in adopting one of our fun-loving, "not-so-rotten" Rotties, you will be asked to fill out our adoption application which allows us to get to know you better. This ensures the dog you are interested in is a good fit for your family and lifestyle. You can access our Adoption Application by visiting our website at www.rottenrottie.com (http://www.rottenrottie.com/), clicking on Adopt a Rottweiler Adoption Application, and submitting the form online.
After reviewing your answers, if we feel the dog you are interested in is not a match for your family, we may recommend a different Rottweiler companion. Once we determine which dog is best for you, we will schedule a meeting at their current home, where they feel most comfortable and act naturally.
We require a home check to ensure each dog is going to a safe environment. To finalize the process, an adoption contract must be signed. We also require a rehoming fee, which is typically $500 for most adults and $350 for seniors (6 years and older) or Rottweiler mixes of any age (excluding puppies). Fees for puppies fluctuate depending on the investment required for the litter and whether they are purebred or a mix. These funds are necessary for our organization to continue rehoming Rottweilers in need.
All of our dogs are spayed/neutered, fully vaccinated, microchipped, and have tested negative for heartworms. Each dog comes with a collar and a leash. We also address any injuries or illnesses they had upon arrival or developed in foster care; any such conditions will be fully disclosed to the adopter prior to the adoption.
Please Note: In almost all cases, we do not adopt to out-of-state applicants. On rare occasions, if we feel it is a PERFECT match for both you and the dog, we may make an exception for our neighbors in Las Vegas. If you live in Las Vegas and would like to be considered, please fill out our adoption application.
