Rotten Rottie Rescue
Rottoberfest 2026
This year our goal is to raise $15,000 during Rottoberfest!! These funds are CRITICAL to our work saving Arizona's Rottweilers in need.
Let us tell you what Rottoberfest is... This is an annual festival where you are sure to have a howlin' good time. All of the Rotten Rotties that been adopted from us in the past, their families, our amazing supporters, foster families and volunteers all show up to join in some good old fashioned rotten fun!
The festival kicks off with a pack walk from the Safeway parking lot (SW corner of Val Vista & Elliot) to Rotten Rottie Ranch where we've left no detail spared to ensure everyone has a spooktacular time! There will be food, drinks & cocktails, a Halloween costume contest, games and other contests where you can win great prizes while supporting our dedication to all the Rotten Rotties that need our help.
We'll have an auction full of incredible items donated by wonderful companies who support us. If you own or work for a company that would like to support us by donating to our auction, we would be happy to list your company as a sponsor. All donations to Rotten Rottie Rescue are eligible to be a tax write-off!

The Pack Walk
Is this your first Rottoberfest?! We are so excited to have you join us!!
Here's some information that's good to know so you have the BEST time! At 5:30pm, we will all gather in the parking lot of the Safeway located on the SW corner of Val Vista & Elliot. From there we'll all walk to Rotten Rottie Rach at 335 S Granite Ct. in Gilbert.
It's about a mile and helps the dogs get some of their energy out before the festival. By the end of the walk, they feel united and are much more behaved at the festival. Come hungry! You'll be served dinner and drinks. There will be an open bar and buffet style dinner - and ALL is included in the price of your ticket.
-
After you arrive, take a few minutes to check out all the awesome items in our auction. The auction is also online, but there will be some very special items that will be auctioned off live at the festival.
-
Come dressed to impress! We'll host a costume contest after the auction where the best dressed owner and dog will take home an awesome prize
-
All dogs are required to be on leash at all times. We recommend a 4 ft. leash and prong collar for maintaining control of your dog while you're at the festival.
Also, please note that not all dogs are friendly! Be sure to provide space for other owners and their dogs. If your dog is aggressive with other dogs, this is not the place for them. We have pack walks every Thursday at 8:30pm for that purpose. We can't wait to see you!!
