Rottweiler Placement and Guardianship Requirements
 

 

Please note: Many insurance companies ban certain breeds of dogs.

Please see our Rottweilers and Homeowners/Renters Inurance page for more information.

If you go through filling out an entire application and your homeowners insurance is on our list of companies that DO NOT insure Rottweilers, we will automatically deny your application.  If your company is not on this list please check with your insurance carrier before contacting us.  If you still wish to adopt it is REQUIRED that you change insurance companies before your application will be processed.

Placement Facts

Participation in formal obedience  training and socialization with newly adopted dog is REQUIRED, 
start looking for training before you apply!   Basic obedience classes cost between $50-500 
depending upon whether you choose private or group lessons. 

Unless otherwise noted, the minimum donation upon placement is $175.00
(There are times when the minimum donation is $225.00)

This donation is not a sale or  reciept for any goods or services, it is a general donation towards the general fund of INKY Rottweiler Rescue, Inc.  The  entire amount of your donation  will provide care and  shelter for future  expenses and is not a reimbursement for the expenses of the dog we are placing into your home.  No volunteer  for INKY Rottweiler Rescue receives any compensation or benefit for their  services or time.

All of our Rottweilers are:
 

0. spayed/neutered
0. heart worm tested,
0. taking preventative
0. vaccinated. (DHLPP And Rabies)

Note: INKY Rottweiler Rescue does not routinely vaccinate for Bordetella or Lymes disease. If you will be boarding your rescued Rottweiler or live in an area where Lymes disease vaccine is recommended this will be your responsibility.

To complete this vet work yourself would cost you well over the amount of the donation. 

Donations are tax dedutable.*

All Rottweilers are temperament tested by our
volunteers and their health and temperament monitored prior to placement.
We do not knowingly place aggressive dogs or dogs with bite incidents.

Application processing time averages two-to-three weeks, with placement taking
 place after that time period.

A Companion Animal contract is REQUIRED when the Rottweiler is placed into it's new home
