Rottie
Rottie
Health Status: HEALTHY!
*Leg amputation and eye enucleation done on February 12th, 2025
*Leg amputation and eye enucleation done on February 12th, 2025
Age: ~1.5 years – Born: ~May 2024
Weight: ~ 34.9 kgs(December 2025) 76.8 pounds. We want to keep her lean/muscled and fit. Becoming fat is NOT in her or any dog’s best interest. She is also a tripod. We have asked his lovely foster home to cut back on her food /.treats.
Type of Home Ideal for BHRR’s Amata(Amy): She needs a solid structure. She interacts well with people/dogs she meets, and we hope for a quiet, socially low-active level home. A residence that, while visiting family plus friends and having people over, does not host frequent BBQs or gatherings of large groups. We do not want to see her in a home with a high level of travel, with other people taking care of her. Being a Rottie, she has her opinions! She needs a calm and confident home. A home that shall not baby her and continue to show her how amazing this big, wonderful world can be! She is loyal and loves her people, and we want her to be part of the family if they go camping, go to the cottage, or do other fun travels. She needs a home that shall work with her. One that shall not overwhelm her and will continue to work on her manners. She would adore cottage life or hang out at home with his family. Visiting friends, family, pet stores, and pet-friendly places is excellent, too, as long as they are not too busy. We want a quietly active home for BHRR’s Amata(Amy). She is super sweet. INCREDIBLY popular at my work!
She MUST go to a home that will continue to work on exposing her to new, fun, and beautiful things in the world. Time, patience, and effort have made her comfortable, not only to like but also to love her own company. We are not advocates of dog parks. Many private properties rent out space for acreage rentals so that she can enjoy a controlled environment to run and zoom in.
We want her to look forward to the next adventures plus experiences. She needs a home that will give her new, positive, significant, safe, memorable experiences along with structure, consistency, obedience, plus patience. If you are a home that likes to take infrequent walks/hikes/strolls, BHRR’s Amata(Amy) is not for you…he is a healthy dog and needs to be kept emotionally and physically stimulated. She would make a great companion to get out into nature, explore on your days off, and enjoy the beach and other small, exciting adventures! She is the best companion when watching movies or curled up with a good book. She is active, yet one must be sure to understand that she does have limits – she is a tripod.
A home that understands and shall continue to help her learn about this big, fantastic world that we live in. We want her to live a quality-filled, enriched life. She is being fostered in a lovely home outside the Ottawa area and can equally live comfortably in the city or country.

We want her to be happy and to live her best life every day. We want her to reach her full, incredible potential!
She is another versatile BHRR dog! She can be in a home that works ft; pt works from home, is semi-retired or retired, etc. She will ONLY go to a home prepared to ensure she receives the balance she requires with proper exercise, socialisation, etc., along with positive, balanced obedience.
She does need to go to a dog-experienced home, not specifically a Rottie-specific experienced home. The home must be committed to her obedience, structure, and consistency, and to be patient, kind, and understanding, and while not hermits, they are not doing a hundred things each day, weekly, or monthly. We want her to be treated as a beloved member in a right-matched, forever-loving home. We want her to be an invaluable member of her forever-loving adoptive home! She needs that right positive balance between patience, reassurance, passively ignoring, and being kind/gentle with her. She is fed in a quiet place and knows that she will be fed enough food on time and that no one will take it away. She arrived to BHRR after horrific abuse/neglect.

She loves her home and a small group of friends. She needs this stability.
Personality/Temperament: Super loving, huge personality, affectionate, loves her zoomies!, active, happy, and incredibly sweet; she loves to get outside to romp and run and is a delightful girl! She needs to be emotionally/physically properly stimulated, quietly social, active, gentle, plus kind. She thrives with consistency, structure, routine, and clear open communication to understand precisely what is expected of her. She is brilliant and a healthy puppy!
Previous Dog Experience: Previous Dog experience is required per the above, and she needs a home that is going to be committed to her wellbeing and make the small adjustments required as she is still an adolescent, still learning, and still mentally plus physically growing. She sleeps well, and ideally, we would like to see her in a home with at least one right-matched personality-fit dog. We will strongly lean towards homes that have at least one or two right-matched personality fit dogs. She also absolutely needs a strong doggie friend network in the community. That is so important. We have friends; she needs friends, too. It is important for her to have doggie friends to continue to work on her manners. Another dog will help with her structure in new surroundings, yet we do not wish to see her in a home that has a dog that she will rely heavily on or they on her.
Good With Cats: Unknown. He has been okay with the clinic cat, but the clinic cat is not really a cat!
Good with Pocket Pets: Unknown
Good with Children: We prefer a NO small children home. She has gone through more than enough in her life, and we want her as the priority in a right-matched, forever-loving home! She deserves to be the big focus in the home. We will consider homes with children 13 and older and no more than two children in the house.
Grooming: She needs regular grooming to keep her coat healthy and look his best. Regular grooming includes nails and ears.
Car: She travels well in the car.
Housebroken/crate Trained: She is housebroken and crate trained. We never recommend giving any new addition too much freedom to start. It can be very overwhelming plus too stimulating for them.
Obedience: She requires a home that will be consistent and dedicated to continuing to help her become the best dog she can be. Her potential is enormous! As per our adoption contract, a full round of group obedience is required with all of our dogs. This is not about having a dog that ‘listens.’ This is about creating a strong and mutually respectful bonding relationship, and trust and respect work both ways. It is imperative that humans give dogs reasons to trust them.
Activities Suited For Her: She would excel in being your bff. Great companion at home, a great companion for quiet/calm camping, cottaging, small hikes, and exploring new things – not in a super busy place! She could do therapy work and excel at obedience, too. Maybe some dock diving or ramp flopping!
Loves & Bad Habits: Like any dog, she is not perfect. She is perfect in all of his imperfections, though! NOT to mention so beautiful. BIG black dog syndrome is a very real thing, and that is so unfortunate. She is so lovely, yet she is opinionated. One must know how to work with her, not against her. She is not to be manhandled. Any home that thinks ruling by fear, believes in ‘dominating’ over the dog in the home, and being harsh, need not apply. She is vocal. She will tell you how she is feeling. She is very honest in her communication plus comfort level.
Anxieties/Worries: It is integral that the right-matched personality fit home and does not spend 24/7 with her. During the pandemic and even before it, we still need groceries; we should still go out and do errands; we should still get in our cars and go for a small drive to go somewhere to do something! Time has been spent having her learn to not only like but enjoy her own company. As we need our alone time, she must do too. She is a solid and stable dog; we do not want any SA behaviours to develop. It is so easy for a dog to develop said behaviours.
As we have stated for almost 30 years now, we will NEVER rush any dogs’ rehabilitation journey, we do not flip dogs, and we are not desperate to adopt them out. I had wanted to place her up for adoption about two weeks ago, yet other matters took precedence, and now it is all about her turn! Unfortunately, the timing has not worked out to get our usual professional photos of her.
We will always place up for adoption the dogs that can be adopted and safe haven all others that cannot be placed up for adoption due to medical and/or behavioural reasons.
We do not take in hundreds of dogs yearly; we only took in 1 dog in 2025 as it is about helping the next in need of us, giving them top-quality care, and not about taking in numbers. We have taken in none in 2026 as of yet. Finances are extremely tight in the rescue at this time.
After 29+ years, we know that we cannot please everyone, which means that BHRR is not the rescue to be followed, supported, and believed in by everyone. We remain small plus mighty, and as we go through this next transitional stage for BHRR, we shall continue to operate with a zero-tolerance approach, providing and going above and beyond in care to the animals.
Our mandates have never changed and will remain the same as long as we are around; the animals shall always be done right by us as our priority.
Our adoption success rates remain second to no other group – 100% for over ten years of operating, and now almost 99% as we go through year 30, and we are excited as we go through this slow transition for BHRR!
You have done a THUMBS up job, as has your fantabulous foster home, BHRR’s Amata(Amy), and we are thrilled you are making your special announcement!
So many of us adore you to bits and pieces!
