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.

When you donate to Rottie Empire Rescue, you're helping with more than just the big expenses. 🤎
*
Rescue dogs need the everyday things that help them feel comfortable, cared for, and happy while they're waiting for their next chapter.
*
That can mean:
*
🦴 Joint health supplements to support their overall wellness
🦴 Treats for training, enrichment, and those little moments of joy
🧸 Toys to keep them entertained, engaged, and being dogs
*
These things might seem small, but they add up, and they make a difference in the daily lives of the dogs in our care.
*
Every donation, no matter the size, helps RER provide the care and comfort these dogs deserve.
*
Thank you for being part of the reason we can say yes. 🤎🐾
*

It's official! Our sweet Tia has found her forever home and is starting a beautiful new chapter as Clover! 🍀❤️
*
Last Saturday, she went for her home visit and meet-and-greet with a wonderful family, and she absolutely nailed it! Her new home comes with 13 acres to explore, a canine sibling, and an entire flock of chickens to keep life interesting. 🤣🐔🐾
*
Now, Clover is settling into life with a family who absolutely adores her, and we couldn't be happier for this girl. Moments like these remind us why rescue is so special. Every dog deserves the chance to find their people, feel safe, and finally call somewhere home. 🥹🤎
*
Congratulations to Clover and her new family! Thank you for opening your hearts and home to a rescue dog. We can't wait to see all the adventures ahead for this lucky girl! 🍀
*
Here's to forever, sweet Clover! ❤️

Please join us in celebrating Annette Rowback as Rottie Empire Rescue’s Foster of the Month for October! ❤️
*
For over 10 years, Annette has been a dedicated part of our RER family, opening her home and heart to Rotties in need. Through the ups and downs, she has continued to show up for these dogs time and time again.
*
Annette brings so much experience and compassion to our rescue. Beyond fostering, she’s always willing to help guide and support other foster families, share her knowledge, and step up when another dog needs a safe place to land. When a foster finds their forever home, Annette is often ready to welcome the next dog who needs her.
*
Her commitment goes beyond simply caring for a dog. She helps make our entire foster program stronger, and we are incredibly grateful to have her as part of the RER family. 🐾
*
Annette is currently fostering Fancy, a sweet girl who is still searching for her forever home. And pictured after Fancy is Russ, Annette’s big guy and an excellent foster brother! 🐶🤎
*
Congratulations, Annette! Thank you for more than a decade of dedication, for always being willing to help, and for making a difference in the lives of so many Rotties. We’re so lucky to have you. ❤️
*
Help us show Annette some love in the comments! ⬇️
*
And if you’re interested in giving a Rottie a safe place to land, we’d love to hear from you about fostering!

A full bowl may seem like a small thing, but for a rescue, it means so much. 🤎
*
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.
*
Every dog who comes through our doors needs food, care, and support while they work toward their next chapter. Having partners who help provide those everyday essentials means RER can continue putting resources toward the many other needs that come with rescue.
*
It's support like this that makes a difference behind the scenes, and we're so thankful for businesses that choose to show up for rescue.
*
Thank you, NutriSource, for helping keep our pups happy, healthy, and fed. 🐾🤎

If you needed proof that life is meant to be enjoyed, Byrdie would be happy to demonstrate. 🤎
*
This playful girl loves to run, explore, play, and soak up attention. Missing a leg hasn't stopped Byrdie from being curious about the world or enjoying every bit of fun that comes her way.
*
She’s affectionate, friendly, smart, loyal, and house-trained. She’s also spayed and vaccinated and ready for a family who will see the dog she is, not the thing that makes her different.
*
Byrdie has so much personality packed into one very special girl.
*
Now she just needs someone to say, “Yep, she’s my girl.” 🐾
*
Could that be you?
*
Visit our website https://www.rottieempirerescue.com/pets/dogs-for-adoption/ to learn more about Byrdie and apply to adopt.

Halloween can be fun for us, but all the extra excitement can be a lot for our dogs. 🎃🐾
*
A few reminders to help keep your pup safe:
*
🍫 Keep candy out of reach. Chocolate, sugar-free candy, and other Halloween treats can be dangerous for dogs. Keep the candy bowl somewhere they can't get into it.
*
🚪 Watch the front door. Constant doorbells and people coming and going can be stressful, and an open door can be an easy escape route. Keep your dog somewhere secure if they need a break.
*
🕯️ Be careful with decorations. Candles, cords, small decorations, and anything they could chew or swallow should be kept safely out of reach.
*
👻 Don't force a costume. If your dog isn't comfortable wearing one, skip it. If they do wear one, make sure they can move, breathe, see, and hear normally.
*
🏷️ Check their ID. Make sure collars, tags, and microchip information are current in case they do manage to slip out.
*
🤎 Give them a safe space. Some dogs love the excitement, while others would rather spend Halloween somewhere quiet and cozy. Pay attention to their body language and let them opt out if they're overwhelmed.
*
And remember: your dog doesn't need to dress up, greet every trick-or-treater, or participate in the festivities to have a good Halloween.
*
Sometimes the best Halloween is a quiet night, a full bowl, a favorite toy, and their person nearby. 🐾🤎
*
Save this post and share it with another dog parent!

Adopting a rescue dog is exciting, but it's also a big commitment. 🤎 Before you apply, we want you to know what you're signing up for.
*
Rescue dogs come from all kinds of backgrounds. Some settle into a new home quickly, while others need more time to understand that they're safe. A change in environment can bring out behaviors you may not have seen when you first met them.
*
That's why patience, consistency, and realistic expectations matter.
*
Be prepared to provide more than food and a place to sleep. Your new dog may need training, exercise, mental stimulation, structure, socialization, and time to build trust.
*
And remember: every dog is an individual. Even two dogs of the same breed can have completely different personalities and needs.
*
Most importantly, don't expect an instant connection. Sometimes the best relationships aren't built in a day. They're built through routines, patience, trust, and all those little everyday moments.
*
At Rottie Empire Rescue, we're not just looking for homes. We're looking for the right homes. The goal is a lifelong match where the dog and their family can both thrive.
*
If you're ready to take that step, visit the Rottie Empire Rescue website https://www.rottieempirerescue.com/home/ to learn more about our adoptable dogs and the adoption process. 🐾🤎

The good stuff.
*
Morning walks.
Playtime.
Couch cuddles.
Following his person around the house.
A favorite toy.
A family to call his own.
*
That’s what Neo is waiting for. 🤎
*
He’s affectionate, friendly, playful, curious, smart, and loyal. He can be adventurous when it’s time to get moving, but he also knows how to appreciate some quiet time with his people.
*
Neo is house-trained, neutered, vaccinated, and has no special needs.
*
He’s ready for all the ordinary little moments that make a dog feel like part of the family.
*
Now he just needs someone to share them with. 🐾
*
Visit our website https://www.rottieempirerescue.com/pets/dogs-for-adoption/ to learn more about Neo and submit an adoption application.
