After first sharing life with Gus (165 lb. Rotti) and then George (262 lb. English Mastiff), I don't think a 50 - 60 lb. dog is going to do it for me.
You should have no problems finding a Rotti. Just look up the Rotti rescue in your area. I know our local shelters always
have both Rotti's and Great Danes.
My wife and I used to volunteer for the Beagle Rescue of Southern Maryland. If the local Rotti rescue is anything like the
beagle rescue you can offer to foster and they will pay all vet costs till you decide you want to adopt.
Good luck!
