Cupcake is a young, happy male Rottweiler who loves people and will gladly accept all the pets you can give. We rescued him and his mom, Matilda, off the euthanasia list at the county shelter. We couldn’t believe this pair was going to be put to sleep, so we brought them into rescue knowing their forever families would find them soon and see just how amazing they are.We aren’t 100% sure Matilda is his mother, but she is a few years older and has been bred. Cupcake also takes correction from her very well, so we are assuming she is his mom. Matilda has already been adopted, and now Cupcake is ready for his forever home.He is very smart and eager to please. He knows basic commands, sits when asked, and loves playing fetch. He is potty trained and crate trained, and he doesn’t get into things. He walks very well on a leash and doesn’t bark excessively. He is a great guy looking for someone to take a chance on him. He thinks he’s a lap dog and truly deserves his happily ever after—we hope to find that for him very soon.His one flaw may be that he has been under-socialized with dogs other than his friend Matilda. With a slow introduction, he could likely live with another female dog his size.If you are interested in adopting a young, energetic boy who loves to play, Cupcake is your guy. If you are looking for a dog with unlimited love to give, he would love to meet you.Adoption Process:If you are interested in adopting one of our fun-loving, "not-so-rotten" Rotties, you will be asked to fill out our adoption application which allows us to get to know you better. This ensures the dog you are interested in is a good fit for your family and lifestyle. You can access our Adoption Application by visiting our website at www.rottenrottie.com, clicking on Adopt a Rottweiler Adoption Application, and submitting the form online.After reviewing your answers, if we feel the dog you are interested in is not a match for your family, we may recommend a different Rottweiler companion. Once we determine which dog is best for you, we will schedule a meeting at their current home, where they feel most comfortable and act naturally.We require a home check to ensure each dog is going to a safe environment. To finalize the process, an adoption contract must be signed. We also require a rehoming fee, which is typically $500 for most adults and $350 for seniors (6 years and older) or Rottweiler mixes of any age (excluding puppies). Fees for puppies fluctuate depending on the investment required for the litter and whether they are purebred or a mix. These funds are necessary for our organization to continue rehoming Rottweilers in need.All of our dogs are spayed/neutered, fully vaccinated, microchipped, and have tested negative for heartworms. Each dog comes with a collar and a leash. We also address any injuries or illnesses they had upon arrival or developed in foster care; any such conditions will be fully disclosed to the adopter prior to the adoption.Please Note: In almost all cases, we do not adopt to out-of-state applicants. On rare occasions, if we feel it is a PERFECT match for both you and the dog, we may make an exception for our neighbors in Las Vegas. If you live in Las Vegas and would like to be considered, please fill out our adoption application.
