Ruben

My story

Meet Ruben 🐾 Ruben is a senior, purebred Rottweiler with a story that proves just how strong and resilient he is. This brave boy was found stuck in a canal, unable to get out on his own, until a kind police officer came to his rescue. After being taken to county, Ruben was so exhausted from his ordeal that he slept nearly two full days straight just to recover. Ruben has had a long and traumatic stay at the shelter—over 10 days—and he’s still decompressing from everything he’s been through. Right now, he can be a little grumpy (and who wouldn’t be after all that?), but we’re giving him the time, space, and love he needs to heal. We’re confident that with patience, his sweet side will shine through, and we’ll get to see just how well he knows his obedience commands. We’re still getting to know Ruben, and we’d love for you to get to know him too. If you’re interested in this handsome survivor, give us a call or text at 480-567-4328. We’ll be happy to update you with everything new we learn about him along the way. Our Adoption Process... If you are interested in adopting one of our fun loving not so rotten rotties, you will be asked to fill out a questionnaire that will allows us to get to know you better and to make sure the dog you are looking at is a good fit for your family and lifestyle. You can access our questionnaire by going to our website, www.rottenrottie.com click on the forms tab, and fill out the questionnaire and submit it online. After we review your answers, if we feel that the dog that you are interested in, is not a good fit for you and your family, we may recommend a different rottweiler companion. After we determine which Rottweiler(s) is the best for you, we will set up a time so that you can meet him or her at their house, where they will feel most comfortable and act as they normally do. We will require a home check to make sure the dog is going to a good home.  An adoption contract will be signed to finalize the adoption and we do ask for a rehoming fee of $500 for most adults, $350 for most of our seniors 6 years and above for any rottweiler mix of any age (except puppies) . Our fees for puppies fluctuate depending on how much we had to invest into them or their litter, and weather they are purebred or a mix. These funds are necessary so that our organization may continue to rehome rottweilers. ALL of our dogs are sterilized, fully vaccinated and microchipped, heartworm tested negative and come with a collar and a leash. We have also addressed any injury or illness that they had when they came to us, or received in foster care. These problems will be disclosed to the adopter prior to adoption. please be advised that in almost all cases we will not adopt our dogs to folks who live in different states.  On rare occasion, if we feel that it is a PERFECT for both you and the dog, we sometimes will break that rule for our neighbors who live in Las Vegas. If you live in Vegas and would like us to consider you, please fill out an application.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Ruben, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
