About SSRR
Southern States Rescued Rottweilers, Inc. is dedicated to saving the lives of Rottweilers throughout our eleven states, but we could not fulfill that mission without the efforts of our hard working volunteers.Becoming a volunteer for SSRR is very easy. Simply fill out our Volunteer Application and submit it.
Read on to find out more about HOW YOU CAN HELP US.
FOSTER HOMES - We are currently in
desperate need of foster homes as more and more Rotties
find their way into shelters. Foster care consists of
temporarily housing a Rottweiler while providing for its
basic needs such as food, water, shelter. SSRR provides
medical care of the Rottweilers in our program and our
foster homes' out of pocket expenses are limited. We
require that our foster homes keep their foster dogs
indoors during their stay. Doing so helps the Rottweiler
adjust to the common household noises and smells it will
experience in its new home, and it also helps to further
determine the personality of the Rottweiler and what
type of home situation that it would do best in. We
encourage crating the foster dog when not being supervised.
HOME CHECKS - We also need people to do
home checks for us. A home visit is something that is
required before an individual is allowed to
adopt
one of our Rottweilers. It consists of going
to the home of a potential adopter, checking the dog’s
proposed living conditions, asking questions outlined on
our home visit form, and basically ensuring that the
home is ready and properly equipped to handle the
challenges and rewards of adding a new dog to their
home. The Home Checks are the eyes and ears of SSRR.
Performing the Home Check is what allows SSRR to place
dogs in safe and secure homes.
TRANSPORT - Transport help is of great
demand in SSRR. Since we do not limit adopters by making
them choose only from the dogs that are in
their
state of residence, we often need to arrange
transport for an adopted Rottweiler to go from one state
to another. Our volunteers will fill various 'legs' of
the transport as they relay the dog across our coverage
area from its current location to its new or adoptive
home. Most legs range in size from 50 to 100 miles.
Before you take a road trip with your family Check with
SSRR to see if you can help transport a dog to their
"Forever Home"
PUBLIC EDUCATION - Since our purpose is
not only to save Rottweilers but to educate those around
us about this breed, we often reserve booth
space
at local dog events. We are always in need of
volunteers to sit at these booths to pass out
promotional material and to talk to passersby about
Rottweiler rescue, the importance of spaying and
neutering, and Rottweilers in general.
ADMINISTRATIVE AREAS – There are other
more administrative areas such as fundraising,
advertising, secretarial services, correspondence,
etc.
where we often find ourselves lacking
volunteers. If you can be of assistance in any of these
areas we welcome you to volunteer to fill this
niche.
Anyone who truly loves this breed can and
should be involved in rescue!
It only takes a small portion of your time, and
the rewards of doing so measure far beyond compare. If
you feel this is the type of organization you'd like to
be involved with and you live in one of the states we
cover, please fill out our Volunteer Application. If you
live in a state outside of our current coverage area,
there are many other rescues that will welcome your
help. SSRR is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. Your
donation is tax deductible. All donations are used to
further our rescue and educational efforts. Donations
may be made to:
