Donating to RRUFF
Rescuing and re-homing Rottweiler dogs is a very expensive endeavor.
All of our dogs require at a minimum vaccinations and heartworm
preventative, but most require much more medical attention. Such
additional medical attention includes spay or neuter, treatment
of wounds, medication to control illnesses or infections, surgery
to repair an illness or injury, treatment for malnutrition, the
list is endless. We also need donations of office supplies, pre-paid
phone cards, dog food, toys and treats. Please see our donating
section for more information.
Volunteering for RRUFF
RRUFF is staffed solely by volunteers. Each and every volunteer
is an integral part of the operation of our organization from
the evaluators who test dogs for suitability for inclusion in
our program, to the foster homes who provide TLC, training, food
and shelter for the dogs, to our adoption application processors
who review and process applications to ensure adoptive families
meet our criteria for adopting, to volunteers who staff educational
booths who gain exposure for our organization and help educate
the public on responsible Rottweiler ownership, to volunteers
who generate fundraisers to collect funds so that we are able
to provide the dogs with medical care and the supplies necessary
to nurture them while they are in our program. This brief summary
only touches the surface of the manpower and dedication that our
volunteers provide to support our organization. Please see our
volunteering section for more information.
Fostering for RRUFF
Foster Care Providers are a very important part of our organization.
RRUFF does not maintain a shelter or facility; all of our dogs
are in foster care prior to placement with an adoptive family.
Foster Care Providers are able to work one on one with the dogs,
provide them with TLC, food, shelter and training. Fostering requires
some previous experience with Rottweilers and a flexible household.
Please see our section on fostering for more information.
