With ownership and RESCUE comes responsibility these are only some of the dogs we have with us at the moment .All dogs Z.R.R rehome spend time here with us in our rescue some in kennels and /or in our foster homes.
All dogs re-homed by ZRR leave us vaccinated (by a vet), micro chipped, spayed/neutered (unless to young, or advised by a vet not to) wormed, 30 days FREE Pet Insurance, , and of course as much back up as you want, for the life of the dog
Some of Our Adoption guide lines
Please note, our aim is not just to find the best homes possible for the dogs in our care, but also to help in some small way to try and keep this loving ,loyal breed of ours safe and out the DDA.
With ownership comes responsibility .
We do not re-home dogs to single people under 25 or couples under 25 yrs of age.
Sorry but we will not re-home to private rented accomadation.
Families with children under ten years of age will be considered for a puppy 6 mths or under.
First time rotty owners will only be considered for a puppy 6 mths or under.
Our rotts will now be with us a minimum of 1 mth regardless for assessment .
[age dependant 8 to 26 weeks old may spend less time as they are fostered from the time they arrive ]
All dogs [age dependant ] will spend time in kennels and in a foster home before adoption.
Adoptees will be expected to attend local training classes to them , to carry on any socialisation and training of the dogs we have been doing while the dogs have been with us , within the first 6 weeks of adopting the dog.
No dog is ever sold by ZRR, but a voluntary donation is asked for, but only on the completion of the adoption process. The donation can be waived at the discrection of the ZRR Rescue Co-Ordinator.

MISCONSEPTIONS AND FACTS
About Rescue Dogs
PLEASE REMEMBER NO DOG WAS EVER BORN, OR ASKED TO GO INTO RESCUE WE AS HUMANS PUT THEM IN THAT POSITION.
MISCONCEPTION All rescue dogs have major behavioural problems
FACT Many dogs in rescues have been normal family pets but there has been a change in the domestic circumstances of the owners (for example moving into a flat, divorce, illness etc) which means that they can no longer keep the dog.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………
MISCONCEPTION WE DONT know the past history of a rescue dog.
FACT Many dogs come directly from homes to the rescue, WE will ask all the relevant questions of the previous owners, then keep the dog with us, while it goes under our own assessment . And this information will be passed on to any prospective new owner.
………………………………………………………………………………………………….
MISCONCEPTION Rescue dogs are emotionally damaged and incapable of loving or being loved
FACT THIS IS THE BIGGEST MISCONCEPTION, RESCUE’S ARE LIKE ANY OTHER DOGS THEY LOVE UNCONDITIONLY .Dogs have a huge capacity to love and be loved. I have seen many badly abused dogs, AND RESCUED ONE PERSONALY, and they never cease to amaze me. They seem to know that you mean them no harm and will give YOU the chance to prove yourself to them.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………..
DOGS WHO HAVE BEEN ABUSED BY HUMANS
MISCONCEPTION It seems that they realise how lucky they are now, and appreciate your kindness even more than other dogs.
FACT WE ARE THE LUCKY ONES WHO ARE PRIVALIGED TO OWN THEM . ALL WE CAN DO IS TO TRY AND PROVE TO THEM THAT NOT ALL HUMANS WILL TREAT THEM LIKE OBJECTS TO BE ABUSED
For me it is incredibly rewarding to feel that I have made a positive difference to a dog’s life just by giving them the time, space and love to allow them to mend.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………
MISCONCEPTION All rescue dogs are adults or elderly.
FACT Some puppies are actually born in rescues – The moms having been cast out when the owner realises they are pregnant. Responsible owners will ensure that their dog cannot suffer an unplanned pregnancy . The responsible thing is to have your dog spayed or neutered .We here at Z.R.R are the only registered rottweiler charity to have this policy written into our constitution . We actively support spaying and neutering campaigns by offering help and advice to those who need it ,along with spaying and neutering the dogs in our care before adoption takes place .
…………………………………………………………………………………………………
MISCONCEPTION All rescue dogs are mongrels
FACT Purebred dogs end up in rescues for the same reasons as crossbreeds and mongrels. Most breeds will have a breed rescue that is dedicated to them .
BUT PLEASE Don’t dismiss the crossbreed or mongrel they need loving homes just as much as the pure breeds, and will make lovely family pets too. and mongrels are all unique, come in all shapes and sizes and are true individuals.
………………………………………………………………………………………………
MISCONCEPTION All rescue dogs are riddled with disease and fleas.
FACT Most rescues will have the dogs routinely checked out by a vet, we here at Z.R.R will have the dogs vaccinated, wormed ,spayed/neutered and micro chipped etc before putting the dog up for re-homing. Good Rescues do not want to add to the problem of yet more unwanted dogs or strays – so they do all they can to prevent this from happening. People get involved with Z.R.R because they want to help the dogs to find loving new homes and to get a better life. We do not allow breeders or kennel owners to serve on the committee or be trustees of the charity , we do not own kennels, we rent a series of holding kennels.This of course takes funding and Z.R.R as a non profit charity and run by dedicated volunteers rely on fundraising and donations to carry on the work we do.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
RESCUE CENTERS
They are desperate to get rid of the dogs so will lie about the dogs just to get them homes. OR offer you no backup after you have taken the dog home. And are just in it for the money and will sell anyone any dog just to get your cash. MISCONCEPTION
FACT We are of course keen to see dogs in their own loving homes, but this must be in the dogs best interest , not just any home – it needs to be the right home .
Most rescues will take a dog back if the new family doesn’t work out. If a rescue does not offer this then you need to question why, and maybe go to a different rescue. We here at Z.R.R never sell dogs we only ever ask for a donation which goes to help us continue to rescue other dogs that need our help .
There are lots of brilliant rescues out there – both large and small, but there are also some dodgy ones. Don’t judge a rescue simply by what it looks like but rather by what it is trying to achieve .
