Who We Are

Tiffany Huebner

Founder

Tiffany founded A Rotta Love in 1997, alone and in the basement of her home in South Minneapolis. She spent the next 10 years devoting much of her time and money to breed she loves. She also spent these 10 years studying dog training and behavior and in 2006 started her own training school, Dogue Style, in Princeton, MN. In 2007 Tiffany stepped down from the board of A Rotta Love Plus to dedicate her time to her new endevor and to her new baby daughter. You can find her, as well as an exceptional place to train your dog, at: www.doguestyle.com.

Rachel Anderson

Director

I've loved Rottweilers for as long as I can remember. Like many people, I didn't do much research before going out a getting my first one, a female named Bella, from a backyard breeder in 1995. In 1999 I found myself with some free time and wanted to give back to the breed that had given so much to me. I found out about Tiffany and A Rotta Love Plus on rottweiler.net and I've been active with them ever since. In 2001 I bought my first house and on the day that I closed I got a call from Tiffany about a male Rottweiler at MAC who was about to be put down. Would I please go look at him? One thing led to another and I am now proudly owned by Jake as well as Bella. Jake is fabulous dog, and its true, rescue dogs will win your heart and become one of the most loyal, loving dogs that you will ever own. What started as a hobby has become part of who I am. I am dedicated to helping these breeds overcome the unwarranted stigma that they've earned in the hands of irresponsible owners and to help reeducate the public about how wonderful these breeds are when raised in a responsible and loving home.

Beth Delaforest

Director

I have two American Staffordshire Terriers, Brea and Woody...they are the highlight of my day and bring completeness to my life. My two dogs sparked my decision to be active in this organization and so passionate about my belief in rescue and education for these breeds. Seeing these breeds projected as vicious and mean, dealing with the constant media sensationalism and watching the negative reactions from people who are uneducated about these breeds makes me so upset. Therefore, I have committed to do whatever it takes to combat those negative and untrue stereotypes. I have grown up with all different breeds of dogs; yet none has captured me as these breeds have. I am also very blessed to be part of an organization that has such integrity, as well as a matched amount of passion for these breeds that I do

Laura Gray

Director

My name is Laura and I am an assistant director for A Rotta Love Plus. I also case manage, foster, check references, and help organize fundraising events. I have two dogs. Zoi is a Pit Bull/Rhodesian Ridgeback mix and Tucker is a Pit Bull. Tucker is in his first level of obedience and hopefully will go on to get his Canine Good Citizen and Therapy Dog certification, so watch for him in the Dog Bite Prevention Program and the Pet Expo.

I adopted Tucker from A Rotta Love Plus in 2005 and have worked with Tiffany on many occasions at her training school. It pretty much started from there and I have been hooked ever since.

I have met some wonderful people through this organization and I am proud to say I am a part of it.

Aimee Bovee

Foster Mentor, Director's Assistant

I am a Director's Assistant and Foster Mentor for A Rotta Love Plus. It all started with an urgent case I found on Petfinder about a cute little pitty named Vito, he was deaf and desperately needed a foster home. I have always had a special connection to this breed and I love to help where I can so I took in Vito and have been hooked ever since! I have been working with dogs since I was a junior in high school and have practically worked in every aspect of animal care you can think of. I am a Certified Vet Tech and have a special interest in animal behavior. Pitbulls have always been my favorite breed of dog and I am always trying to educate people about them when I get the chance. I adopted my dog Rex as a rescue from another group. I have done a LOT of training with him (although it usually doesn't show). He is a certified therapy dog and is in Rally Competition. You might also see him as part of ARL's Bite Education Program. In Nov he will be starting his acting class so keep an eye out for him he's gonna be a star!

Kellie Dillner

Assistant Director

My name is Kellie Dillner and I am an assistant director with A Rotta Love Plus! My boyfriend, Tony French, were looking to adopt a dog in 2005, when we came upon the A Rotta Love Plus website and were hooked on this beautiful brindle little dog. We adopted her, named her Marri and were so pleased with how great this rescue was in helping us with all of our many questions about first time dog ownership! We were so impressed with everyone in the organization that Tony and I began to foster dogs. Then we began to really learn about BSL (Breed Specific Legislation) and the many myths associated with the American Pit Bull Terrier and other dogs considered 'pit bulls'. I had no idea people out there could think my dog was vicious just because she is considered a 'pit bull'. From my long time work as a Guardian ad Litem who advocates for abused and neglected children in court, advocating for my beloved pet was just a natural step. I am excited to coordinate ARLP's wonderful Bite Prevention Program for children and hope to help take the Education component of the rescue into many directions.
