Rottie Empire Rescue
Rottie Empire Rescue is a non- profit animal rescue based out of upstate NY. If you would like to meet any of our adoptable dogs a meeting can be arranged.
Rottie Empire Rescue (aka "A Rottweiler Empire Rescue, INC.") is a non profit in upstate NY that specializes in rehoming Rottweilers and other homeless animals. Our mission is to rescue and rehome dogs in forever homes, and to avoid the need for rehoming in the future by promoting responsible pet ownership. We seek to educate the public on issues facing companion domestic animals through articles, public awareness and events to promote humane treatment of animals, including the responsibilities and duties of ownership of Rottweilers and other “bully” breeds. We encourage and facilitate proper veterinary care including vaccinations, spaying and neutering. Our Rescue is guided by and supports the principle that all companion domestic animals should have good homes and proper medical care. While our focus is to rescue and rehome Rottweilers and other “bully” breeds, we help all kinds of dogs and also cats. We are an all-volunteer program, with no shelter; all of our dogs are in foster homes while awaiting permanent adoptive homes to properly screened families and individuals. We also have adoption clinics twice a month at Bensons Pet Center in Clifton Park, NY. Many of our dogs attend the clinics but if you are looking to meet a specific dog please message us or email us. Adoption applications are available at rottieempirerescue.com. We are always looking for foster homes- foster applications are also available on our website.

Rescue doesn't happen because of one person.
*
It happens because people keep showing up.
*
Our volunteers give their time, energy, patience, and heart to the dogs who need them. From helping with transport and events to supporting fosters, lending a hand behind the scenes, and doing the countless little things that keep rescue moving, it all matters.
*
A lot of what they do happens quietly, without much recognition.
*
So today, we're giving them some.
*
To every Rottie Empire Rescue volunteer: thank you for showing up, for caring deeply, and for being part of the reason these dogs get their next chapter.
*
We couldn't do this without you. 🤎
*
And if you've ever wondered how you can become part of the RER community, volunteering is one way to start. To find out more information about volunteering, visit our website, www.rottieempirerescue.com.

Winnie has entered her “I deserve the good life” era. 🤎
*
She's done with waiting for the perfect moment. She's ready for the simple things that make a dog happy:
*
A soft place to nap. 🛋️
Someone to follow around the house. 🐾
A little playtime.
Plenty of affection.
And a person who thinks she's pretty darn special.
*
Winnie is a senior mixed-breed girl who is house-trained, affectionate, gentle, loyal, playful, and full of personality.
*
She doesn't need a complicated life. She just needs a loving one.
*
Senior dogs have so much to give, and Winnie still has plenty of love left to share.
*
Could you give this sweet girl the cozy forever home she's been waiting for? 🤎

A full bowl might seem like a small thing, but in rescue, the little things add up. 🤎
*
We're incredibly grateful to NutriSource Pet Foods for donating food to Rottie Empire Rescue and helping us provide for the dogs in our care.
*
Good nutrition is an important part of keeping our dogs healthy and supported while they heal, adjust, and wait for their forever homes.
*
Every bag of food means one less thing our rescue has to worry about, and one more way our community is helping us say yes to dogs who need us.
*
Thank you, NutriSource, for helping us keep our pups fed, fueled, and ready for their next chapter. 🐾
*
We're so grateful to have you as part of the Rottie Empire Rescue community.
*
Byrdie’s got places to go, toys to play with, and a whole lot of love to give. 🤎🐾
*
She’s a playful, affectionate girl who doesn’t let missing a leg stop her from enjoying the fun. We wanted to share a little glimpse of her personality because she deserves to be seen for so much more than what makes her different.
*
Byrdie is house-trained, spayed, and vaccinated, and she’s still waiting for her forever family.
*
Could you be the one to give Byrdie the home she deserves?
*

$25 might not feel like a lot.
*
But in rescue, every little bit adds up.
*
A $25 donation can help toward the everyday care that keeps our dogs safe, comfortable, and moving toward their next chapter: food, supplies, medications, transportation, and all the unexpected needs that come with rescue.
*
And it's never just one donation.
*
It's a community of people choosing to help, one contribution at a time.
*
That $25 becomes part of a vet bill. Part of a foster dog's food. Part of getting a dog where they need to go. Part of saying yes when another Rottweiler needs us.
*
We're incredibly grateful for every person who gives, whether it's $25 or $5 or whatever they're able to contribute.
*
If you'd like to help make the next fresh start possible, you can donate through our website www.rottieempirerescue.com. 🤎

What does a day in foster care look like?
*
A little bit of everything.
*
Breakfast. Walks. Naps. Playtime. Maybe some training. Dinner. More naps. And plenty of time just being part of a family.
*
But those ordinary moments are doing something important.
*
They're helping a dog learn what a routine feels like. They're building confidence. They're giving fosters the chance to learn their personality, their quirks, and what they need to thrive.
*
Foster care isn't always about big moments.
*
Sometimes, it's simply giving a dog the chance to experience a normal day in a safe, loving home.
*
And those little things can make a very big difference. 🤎

If Asa could tell you what he wants, we think he'd keep it pretty simple. 🤎
*
A person to trust.
A home to call his own.
Someone who doesn't mind a few kisses. 🐾
And a family who will let him be exactly who he is.
*
Asa is affectionate, gentle, loyal, playful, curious, and smart. He's the kind of dog who can make you smile just by being himself.
*
He's house-trained, neutered, and vaccinated, and he's ready for the next part of his story.
*
We don't know who Asa's person will be yet.
*
But we know they're out there.
*
Maybe they've just been waiting to find him.
*
If you think Asa could be the one you've been looking for, visit Rottie Empire Rescue's website https://www.rottieempirerescue.com/pets/dogs-for-adoption/ to learn more and apply.
*
And if you can't adopt right now, help us get Asa seen. Sometimes the right home starts with the right person seeing the right post. 🤎

National Responsible Dog Ownership Month is a reminder that bringing a dog home is about more than the good days.
*
It's a commitment to showing up for them through every stage of their life.
*
Responsible ownership means providing proper food, veterinary care, exercise, training, enrichment, and a safe environment. It means taking the time to understand your dog's needs, respecting their boundaries, and giving them the structure and guidance they need to thrive.
*
It also means being prepared for the hard days. Because dogs don't stop needing us when life gets busy, when training takes longer than expected, or when they need more patience than we anticipated.
*
For Rottweilers, responsible ownership starts with understanding the breed and making sure you're prepared for the commitment that comes with it.
*
Rescue will always be here for dogs who need a second chance. But responsible ownership can help give more dogs the chance to stay in the homes they've always known.
*
This month, we're celebrating the people who choose to show up every day, for the whole journey.
