Check out Rottys.net - there are many Rottweilers listed that need new homes: http://www.rottys.net/forum/forum_topics.asp?FID=45

Please read first:

Not all Rottweiler's in pounds and shelters across Australia are featured on this website. We encourage you to go to the pounds and shelters in your state and look for a Rottweiler in person. If you need a hand finding a Rottweiler click here and we will be more than happy to assist you. Links are provided for you to search pounds and shelters across Australia. Please choose your state from the above links (see above). This site also advertises privately listed Rottweilers where you may advertise your Rottweiler if you need to find him/her a home (refer link above that reads Private listings).

Rottweilers are being found by rangers and surrendered by their owners to pounds and shelters across Australia on a daily basis. Just keep searching and remember that not all dogs are listed on the internet. It is best to visit your local shelter and or pound. Express your interest in a Rottweiler and / or put your name on a waiting list.

Shelter and Pound information:

Dogs which are identified with a microchip will be held for 8-14 days before being available for sale, those dogs which are not sold, will be euthanased. Dogs which are not identified are only held for a 7 day period from the date they were first impounded. No pound can guarantee the pure bred status, health, temperament, or age of any dog, you must go and personally meet a dog you may be interested in. Please contact the pound directly on the phone numbers provided (refer to the state links above for a list of pounds and shelters in your state).

Please think carefully before rushing out to buy a dog simply because he/she is on limited time. A dog is a long term commitment, you need to make sure you will be there for the life of the dog.

Please also navigate through the links to see if a rescue group has a dog for you in their care. Additionally, if you can not make a lifetime commitment to a dog but are willing to foster a rottweiler, please contact this site by clicking here and we will advise of appropriate rescue groups whom you will be able to foster for. Or if you see a rottie on this site that you would like to help by fostering but cannot keep permanently, we will put you in touch with groups who can support you and help you to rehome.

Acknowledgements:

A big thank you to Dru for all the amazing work she has done for our beloved Rottweilers in Australia. Dru set up this site a few years back and has worked incredibly hard helping people re home their dogs and list dogs that need to be rescued.

I would like to thank everyone that sends me through any Rottweilers in pounds and shelters across Australia. I would like to say a special thanks to Trisha for keeping an eye out for all the Rottweilers needing homes in Victoria. I would also like to thank Anne from NSW who lets me know what Rottweilers have been rehomed. Your help is very much appreciated, thank you so much.
