Notes from Atlantic Rottweiler Rescue Foundation

Hi there, I’m Ben!

Age: 3 years old

Breed: Rottweiler

Status: Neutered, housebroken, crate trained, microchipped & up-to-date on vaccines!

Health Note: Heartworm positive (currently on the slow-kill treatment protocol, which is inexpensive and easily given right at home!)

Personality: Gentle, sensitive, dog-friendly, and super loyal

My Story

I might look big and strong in my picture, but the truth is, I’m a sensitive guy with a big heart.

When my rescue friends first saved me from the shelter, I was so terrified of everything around me that I would immediately "pancake" flat to the ground. I just wanted to hide! But thanks to a lot of love, safety, and patience, I am learning that the world isn't so scary after all. Look at me now—I can finally stand up tall and show off my big Rottie smile!

Because of my tough start, I’m going to need a patient home where I can have plenty of time to decompress and get comfortable. New places and new people still make me a little nervous at first, so I just need someone who will let me take things at my own pace.

What I’m Looking For

A Canine Pal: I’m dog-friendly! Having another dog around actually helps me feel brave and gives me an extra boost of confidence.

A Patient Heart: Once I know I’m safe with you, my gentle, sweet nature comes right out. I promise to be the most loving and loyal companion you could ever ask for.

If you’re willing to give me the time I need to blossom, I’ll give you my whole heart in return.
