More about Maria

Meet Maria Maria is a 3–4 year old Rottweiler (approx. 80 lbs) who was found severely injured in Rockwall on 03/14/26 and never reclaimed. Maria is now available for adoption to a loving home. When she first arrived at RAC, she was in pain and unable to use her leg after likely being hit by a car. X-rays confirmed a serious femur fracture along with additional minor injuries. Despite everything, Maria has remained incredibly sweet and gentle. At this time, amputation has been recommended as the most humane option in a shelter setting. However, we are urgently hoping for a rescue or adopter who has the ability to pursue orthopedic repair and provide the care she needs to heal. Time is critical for Maria. Without placement, her amputation surgery and spay are scheduled for 03/25/26. This date is non-negotiable in accordance with Texas state laws. If you plan to adopt, please plan accordingly for her appointment date. Maria is available for adoption with a $125 fee, which includes her spay, microchip, vaccinations, and heartworm test. Due to her current medical condition and recovery needs, we believe Maria would do best in a calm home environment with adults or children 16 years and older. At this time, we have not been able to assess her with other dogs, as her injuries limit safe interaction. Any introductions would need to take place after her surgery and once she has adequately healed. While there are still some unknowns, we firmly believe Maria deserves the opportunity-not just to survive, but to heal, feel safe, and be truly loved. Online Approved adoption application is required for meet and greets as well as adoption.
