Rosey

We rescued Rosey from a SoCal shelter two days after giving birth to 5 female pups. Rosey is white and has straight Maltese type long hair, and we're guessing she's about 3-4 years old. She weighs 15 pounds now, but once all the pups are fully weaned she should fill out to about 18 pounds to be healthy. <br/><br/>When she arrived, she was scared, timid and wanting to be held, and she quickly bonded with her foster mom and the other household members. She greets strangers first with a bark, then a sniff, then she calms down. <br/><br/>She is very thin, her hair is sparse, which may be due to malnourishment prior to coming into rescue. She's been eating lots of good and healthy food in her foster home, but nursing moms have a hard time putting on weight no matter how much you feed them. The pups are eating food now, but they love that closeness that nursing provides, and Rosey still allows it. She's a great mom and took very good care of her pups.<br/><br/>Pups and mom will be available for adoption after June 27.<br/><br/>Rosey will make someone a great, sweet and affectionate companion. Like all dogs who go into a new environment, you will need to potty train her so she will learn your expectations, as well as where and when to go. Also, walking on leash is new to her, but with some patience and encouragement she will learn to love her walks. Rosey is timid at first and will need some help with confidence building, lots of pets, and be able to be near you a lot at first until she gets used to her new environment and a new routine is established. Routine is key to training her. She finds comfort in knowing what to expect and routine creates this. <br/><br/>If you are interested in this sweet girl, please go to our website www.k9bestfriendsforever.com and click on 'Adopt' to fill out an application.
