ODIE:
Odie
is about 10 months old now and is growing. He isn't as bulky
as my previous Rotts but is getting taller as you'll see. He
and
Buddy have become best pals and usually where one is the other
isn't far. Odie has kind of claimed a hassock for his resting
place. That
will show up in one of the pictures. He gets a regular walk and
a fair amount of ball throwing out back. Buddy is less interested
in
chasing balls so all the more for Odie. Odie has become a little
sneaky and manages to sneak on the bed at night. Gets crowded
at times and I'm not always sure who is kissing me in the middle
of
the night, but it could be worse. All and all he is turning out
to be a great addition to our family and am absolutely glad we
adopted
him. |

Hi, I'm Reiney.
I was picked up as a stray on Christmas Day, 2001, and sent to live
with a foster home for Rottie Rescue. Reiney wasn't my real name,
but everyone thought I must be part REINdeer because I'm so big
and I was wandering around on Christmas Day, so I let them call
me Reiney for a while and now I like it. I also liked my foster
family soooooo much that I talked them in to keeping me and they
are very happy they did. Here I am with my sister, Foster. She
was a rescue, too, and now we're just like 'peas and carrots'.
When I went to live with Foster and my person named Gail no one but
me knew if I was house-trained, but I surprised everyone by being
on my best behavior. I really wanted a Forever Family and they let
me sleep on the bed with them, OH BOY! My sister showed me how to
play in the back yard, and how to roll over so my person can scratch
my tummy. She took me out and taught me how to act like a lady when
we walk on a leash. I have lots of new friends now, some have feet
and some have paws!
And now I have a new foster-brother named Max! I like him a lot,
but my person tells me that he will only stay with us until the right
family comes along to claim him, just like Gail did for me. I'll
miss him a lot when he leaves, but if he will get as much love and
attention as he deserves he'll be as happy as ME! And Gail says there
will be another dog after Max leaves that will need a loving home
to care for him or her while he or she waits for a Forever Family.
So I get to look forward to making new friends FOREVER!
Please consider rescuing a pet instead of buying an animal from a
pet store or out of the newspaper. And if you are up for the challenge,
consider FOSTERING for a local rescue group or animal shelter. Some
people say one person can't make a difference, but I know I've made
a difference to all of the dogs I've fostered over the years, and
they've each made a difference in my life, too. - Gail |

TOBY:
Toby had a rough start in life being born deaf and having a few other minor health
issues. (He was bred by a breeder that was only interested in making a buck.)
He has conquered most of his health hurdles, and is learning signs for communication.
He is growing into a beautiful boy that loves to romp and play. He has adopted
a family with two other Rotties, as well as kids,cats, and rats...he does
great with them all! Toby has touched our lives in so many ways. No matter
what obstacle he is faced with, he meets it and beats it, and stays as happy
and loving as ever. When you see that little butt wiggle, and look into those
big brown eyes, you know life is good! |

Mooch
and Isabella (Bellie)
Mooch:
Mooch came into our lives after our
best friend Baxter crossed Rainbow Bridge. We needed Mooch since
Isabella is deaf and she needs someone to act as her ears. Mooch
was a little ball of fur when he first joined our family, but he
has turned into a wonderful friend to Isabella and the two of us.
He loves to swim and is a great snuggler when he isn't squirming
around or wanting to wrestle. We feel so lucky and honored to have
Mooch in our life and we are always so grateful to be a part of this
great group of people that make up P.A.R.R. Thank you. |

BUDDY UPDATE:
I am very happy to report that Buddy is doing wonderful in his forever and ever
home! Buddy has adopted mom, dad, two human siblings, two feline siblings, a
rodent sister and two Rottie siblings! He could not be more perfect and has been
a treasured family member from the beginning . Buddy has acquired a few new hobbies
since being adopted, such as, he loves to hike, play at the park, traveling and
modeling. (He is quite photogenic you know! |

Just wanted to send some pictures of Hope now known as Zuzu and let you know
how she's doing. Hope is a wonderful dog and has been getting along great with
Isabelle. Isabelle has definitely taken on the "big sister" role. It
has been such a smooth transition, it's like she just fit right in. She is definitely
a "chowhound" like you said. We all just watch in amazement as she
chows down. That girl can eat! She's also been doing great with the kids, she
loves to wake them up by jumping in their bed, which the kids just love. She's
just a great big bundle of joy and we are so thrilled she's a part of our family.
Whenever I cuddle with her, I constantly whisper in her ear that we love her
and that she will be with us forever . Thank you for everything. You are bringing
so much joy into peoples lives . You don't have to worry about Hope, we all adore
her and are so happy she is a part of our family.

Just wanted to give you an update on Hope(Zuzu). She's doing great, loves the
dog park. She finally jumps in the car without having to lift her in. She went
in the pool for the first time Easter weekend. She just likes to go on the steps
and retrieve the toys. She continues to bond with us and Isabelle. The only time
we crate her is during the night. We have been leaving her out with Izzy when
we go out and she does great. She still has a great appetite and I think has
filled out a bit. They are among the "regulars" at the dog park, everyone
knows her and get a big kick out of her.

Jolyn, Brian, Abby (Zabby) and Buddy
(Elvis) - Thank you for helping with two great Rotties! |

Greta and Levi -
Two lucky puppies that found a great home. Levi recently crossed
over Rainbow Bridge due to an untreatable illness and will be missed
by all that knew him and his un-expendable energy supply. |

Just wanted to send an updated pic of Brandy (and
Thor). Brandy has brought us all so much love and we're so happy
she adopted us. She's our baby girl. And of course Thor just thinks
she's all right too.
When we first got her, she was a little skeptical of my husband, but now that's "her
daddy" and she just loves to play and purr with him. (It just amazes our
friends, since they think she's growling - ha!)
You're all doing a great job and I pray that someday you won't have to take in
anymore abused or unloved Rotties. People just don't know what they're missing
if they don't get to know one. They are the most loving family dog (if treated
with responsibility) that a person could ever have.
My grandson gave me a poem he wrote for school and I'd like to pass it on to
you. I thought it was cute
THE ROTTWEILER (Mikey's spelling throughout)
When a Rottweiler feels rotten
Does he stuff his ears with cotton?
Does he sulk upon his bed?
A pile of pillows on his head?
Does he stomp around and shout
"You guys had better let me out?"
Does he tear up someone's sweater?
Or just wait till things get better.
Best wishes,
Al and Mary Beaver |

Brandy, pictured with her new brother, Thor, is loving life with
her new family. She keeps her proud owners smiling with her comical
antics and loving disposition. After 3 years, finally Brandy is truly
loved! |

We
adopted Dixie a year and
a half ago. PARR had gotten her from the "E" list.
When she came to our home, she was approximately a year and a
half. She was not house trained, did not know how to play and
was very unsure of humans. With lots of love and patience she
has become a special member of the family. Her brother Bear and
sister Lucy (a cat) helped her to trust and play. She now has
a new sister, Sage, who she is teaching to play. Sage is also
teaching Dixie how to play with toys. Dixie is truly a wonderful
Rott and we cannot imagine how she ended up on the "E" list.
Thank you, PARR, for giving Dixie and our family this wonderful
opportunity.

Isabella's (Bellie)
foster home has become her forever home. She loves Baxter and
her human friends her so much that she has decided to stay forever.
Her and Baxter are best buddies and love to snuggle together
on Baxter's bed.
Isabella
had a tough life prior to her rescue in the desert. The only
visible scars of her tough life are what's left of the fang marks
on her nose from being bitten by a Rattle snake. Even though
Isabella is deaf, most people don't notice unless we tell them.
She responds quite well to hand signals and is an all around
great friend. This girl loves to run and even though she looks
like a little pot belly pig she can run for over a mile without
tiring. She's just a chunk.

More to come... |

This is Baron and his new dad, living the Good Life. As you can see,
these two are inseparable! Baron is a very sweet Rottie boy who,
despite being cross-eyed, found the perfect home after being a formerly
unwanted dog. |

Dear PARR,
Scierra here, I've been in my forever home now for almost 2 years and it is the
longest I've ever been in one place. I'm doing great here and love every day,
my mom says that I'm spoiled Rott'n. I want to thank you for rescuing me and
letting me come live here with my mom.
Thanks again,
Scierra (adopted 5-99) |

"HI, I'm Maximus, the handsome guy on the right, and that smiley
thing over on the left is my new sister Sara Gin. She came into my
home in July of 2001. Her owner was what my Mom says "terminally
ill" and couldn't take care of her anymore. Mom says she fell
in love with Sara right away with her smile and the way she closes
her eyes when she gets pets and kisses. Well, there was no time for
me to be jealous because I liked her right away too! She's really
nice to put up with my growing pains and antics. And, sigh, she always
puts me in my place when I go too far. Here we are celebrating my
1st birthday. Even though I got lots of toys and treats, I think
the best present I ever got was my big sister, Sara Gin. (But don't
tell HER that, ok?!)" - Yours Truly, Maximus Morris |
