Frequently Asked Questions
Where is RRUFF located and what are
the hours?
RRUFF does not maintain a shelter, all of our dogs are in volunteer
foster homes. We are all volunteers and have full time jobs, families
and pets of our own. If you want to meet some RRUFF dogs, you
may do so at an upcoming
event. If you are interested in adopting a dog, please see
the section on adopting.
If you are interested in volunteering or fostering, please see
the section on volunteering.
Can I give RRUFF my dog?
RRUFF rescues Rottweiler dogs from shelters in the New England
area. Dogs in shelters have no owners to rely on, they are at
the mercy of the space available to them in crowded shelter facilities.
RRUFF only takes on owner surrender cases where there are exigent
circumstances. Please try and re-home your dog on your own (please
see our detailed page with resources), unless you are in a
situation that qualifies as extreme. If you feel that your situation
involves exigent circumstances, you may contact us at (978) 429-4059
or
with detailed information about your situation and your
contact information.
Can I contact RRUFF about a dog that is abused and/or neglected?
No. RRUFF has no law enforcement authority to remove a dog from
its owner's care. Please contact your local Animal Control Officer
and report the situation. If Animal Control removes the dog from
the premises, then the ACO may contact RRUFF about acquiring the
dog from the Animal Control agency.
I don't live in your area, can I still adopt a dog from RRUFF?
No. Please find a Rottweiler
Rescue group in your area. We provide coverage to a specific
area because that is where our volunteers are located. If you
are out of this area, we do not have the resources available to
process your adoption application. In addition, your entire immediate
family, including any dogs you own, must meet any RRUFF dog that
you are interested in before you will be allowed to adopt the
dog.
