Jackson
If "Aloof" was a name, it would have been yours, buddy!! I wish I'd had more time with you, we all miss you so much ! I feel like I let you down.... and I don't think I'll ever get over it.

Jake
"Jake was as sweet and loyal as a Rott could be. He slept by my bed every night with his head up on the bed so I could stroke his big sweet face. He was a clown, he loved to chase thunder, and helped the kids get out of piano practice by barking and biting at the keys when they played. We all miss you Jake and we know you must finally have caught that thunder up there in doggie heaven." - Tina (Jake's Mom)

Jasper
My Beloved Jasper, In 2013, you came to live with me after your timely rescue in New Mexico. You were near death and had lived to be a middle age dog in deplorable conditions. When I came to pick you up that day, you barely resembled a dog. After nursing you back to health, I then started to realize the true torment you had lived through. Over the next year, every person who met you told me that I was crazy to try to rehab you. At times, I admit, I believed that they were correct, but perhaps, that is why Jasper, we were ultimately meant to be together: we were both too stubborn and perhaps, too hopeful to give up. I thank you for giving me the gift of both perseverance and courage to make up my own mind. I am so blessed that you were ultimately meant to be my forever dog. Since you left this earth, thoughts of your torment and daily fears still haunt me, but as much as I miss your darling demeanor and goofy daily antics, I am so relieved that now, my sweet boy, you are finally free of all your demons and fears that tormented your daily life when you walked this earth. I love and miss you, sweet Jasper, more than you will ever know. Thank you for teaching me that in the end, love, patience and kindness truly can conquer all the darkness of this world. Love, Mama Elizabeth (and your Rottie sisters, Lily and Abby who taught you so much)

Jerome
I saw a picture of Jerome on The Big Sky site and something resonated. But while my husband and I were talking Jerome (aka Capone) went from available to adoption pending - then available, pending, available again. I finally wrote to see what was going on and was told it was not the dog, but the people were changing their minds. So, I thought it must be a sign and we immediately filled out the application and on a cold Dec. 7, 2008, drove up to Laramie, Wyoming - Kathy Hooper drove him down from Riverton to meet us. We had a wonderful 6 years, 7+ months with him, until he left for the Rainbow Bridge on August 24, 2015. He was perfect for us - an absolutely perfect match. He was our gentle giant, an exceptional Rottweiler - and that is saying something, as all Rottie lovers know. He always wanted to be with his family and he always tried to please us - all the way up to the end, even though we know he was in stress and pain. He was, as a friend of ours said, "one in a million". My husband and I miss him terribly - he leaves a huge hole in our hearts and a huge void in our lives at his passing.
