It’s a night for adopters, fosters, volunteers, trainers and Rottweiler lovers to come together and celebrate the breed we all love. It’s a chance for foster parents to reunite with their former foster dogs, trainers to see their students again, littermates to reconnect, and sometimes even momma dogs to see their babies again. And, of course, it’s a night to have a TON of fun while raising money to save more Rotten Rotties!

🚨 URGENT: Coco needs your help🚨

UPDATE at 1748 on 6/26: You are all AMAZING!!! We have reached our goal!!  Thank you to everyone who has help her. We will pull her and get her out as soon as possible!! Love you guys!

This is Coco. She is a 4-year-old female Rottweiler currently on the euthanasia list at Maricopa County Animal Care & Control in Mesa, Arizona. We have to rescue her by Sunday, June 29, or the shelter will euthanize her the morning of Monday, June 30. Coco is listed as NHO, which means she can only be rescued by a New Hope Partner of Maricopa County Animal Care & Control, which we are.

She is not available for adoption to the public, so please do not contact the Shelter about trying to adopt her - rescue is her only way out.

Coco’s story is heartbreaking, but unfortunately not uncommon.

She was surrendered by a backyard breeder after spending her entire life being bred and living isolated in a backyard. She has never had the opportunity to learn that people can be kind, that the world can be safe, or simply what it means to be a beloved family dog.

When we met Coco, she was shut down, scared, and understandably unsure of everything around her. But there is hope.

The shelter staff who have spent time with her have seen glimpses of the dog she wants to be. She is nervous at first, but as she begins to feel safe, she slowly lets her guard down. When someone reaches out to gently pet her, she quickly realizes she enjoys the affection. That tiny spark is enough to tell us she’s worth fighting for.

The amazing Amanda with Paw Creek Training is willing and able to give Coco the time, patience, structure, and socialization she desperately needs through her board-and-train program.

The only obstacle is funding.

We need to raise $1,000 by Sunday, June 29th to cover her training. Without it, we simply cannot commit to taking Coco into our rescue, and she will lose her chance.

As Arizona’s only Rottweiler-specific rescue and a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit, every dog we save depends entirely on the generosity of our community. If you’ve ever wanted to change the course of a dog’s life, this is that opportunity.

Every donation—whether it’s $5, $25, $100, or more—brings Coco one step closer to safety. If you’re unable to donate, sharing her story could help us reach the person who can.

Donations to our 501(c)(3) organization may be tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.

So if you go to Venmo and search Rotten Rottie more than one option will come up and you may pick a scammers donation page.

Please help us give Coco the chance she’s never had.

Together, we can replace fear with trust… and a death sentence with a future.

Event Details

On June 20th, Rotten Rottie Rescue will be joining the fun at Fuge Car Wash at Cooper & Ray in Gilbert. We’d love to have several of our adoptable dogs there for people to meet while they enjoy the festivities.

Volunteers Needed

The challenge? A few of our foster families will be out of town that weekend, so we need some dog-loving volunteers to be handlers for the day!

Dogs Needing Handlers

🐾 Mystic

* Reason handler is needed: Her foster family has a funeral to attend.

* Personality: Sweet, friendly girl who seems to love everyone she meets.

🐾 Wavvy

* Personality: Giant goofball who loves people.

* Bonus: Wavvy and Mystic are best buddies!

🐾 Sasha

* Reason handler is needed: She also lives with me.

* Personality: Easy to handle and loves people.
