What is Rottoberfest?
Glad you asked. It's a big day for the rotten rotties! Rottoberfest is a festival to celebrate the lives of over 1500 rottweilers that we have rescued since we became a corporation in October of 2012 ! We invite all of the rotties that we have adopted in the past, their families, all of our sponsors and supporters, our foster families and volunteers to join us on this day, for a pack walk, food, drinks, cocktails, witches brew and Bratwürste ( Bratts with our Rotts, see how fun this is!) We will have a Halloween costume contest, a fashion show with all of our adoptable rottweilers, games to play and some contests to win some great prizes!! If you own a company that would like to support our dogs by donating an item, gift card or gift basket to auction off, we are happy to list your company as a sponsor and you can use it as a tax write off! Please contact shelly at 1 (480) 567-4328 We got a lot a cool prizes donated from some big companies! This is Rotten Rotties way of saying thank you to all of the people who have helped us save this great breed. We couldn't do it alone, that is for certain, it does take a village!!!!!

At 4pm we will all gather in the parking lot at Safeway at Elliot and Val Vista on the SW corner. We will walk together as a pack to 335 S. Granite Ct., Gilbert, Az 85296 which is approximately 1 mile away. See the map. The pack walk let's the dogs get out some of their energy before the festival and unites them as one big family and they are much more behaved when we get to our destination. It gives them time to get used to being in the presence of so many other dogs. This can be overwhelming for some dogs, however by the time we get where we are going, they usually will just roll with it.
Once we get to the rotten rottie ranch, you will be served dinner and drinks. An open bar and buffet are included in your ticket price. It’s all inclusive. When you arrive please collect your free shirt (if you purchased a ticket before Oct 1)and your bidding paddle from the person that checks you in. Please take a few minute to look at the items that we will be auctioning off both online and there will be some very special items auctioned off live. Once everybody has had a chance to get food and fill their cups we will start the live auction. There will be a costume contest following the auction where you and your dog can win a great prize!
We will also have some great items on live and silent auction and you can bid on these items even if you don’t attend the event.
Please remember that not every rottie attending will be friendly with every dog they meet, so please do not let your rottie go nose to nose with another rottie and it is best to keep your rottie out of another rotties personal space. It's best to bring your rottie on a 4 foot leash and a prong collar if there is any doubt that you may not be able to maintain control over your dog at all times. I am sure I don't have to remind you of the strength of your dog. If you know your rottweiler is aggressive with other dogs, then this event is not the place to start socializing them. We do offer Thursday night pack walks at 8:30 pm for that purpose. Keep your dog on leash at all times.
If everybody follows the rules, it will be a great time for everyone who attends. We have had very few problems at prior Rottoberfest. 2022 as our best year ever. ALL THE DOGS WERE ON THEIR BEST BEHAVIOR AND MADE ME SOOOO PROUD
