ROSIE (cc#6942)

So much for "Wonderful News" for Rosie.... Rosie was adopted and got along well with the resident dog. They met at the shelter - all was fine. They all went home in the car together, and all was fine. They were in the house together, and all was good. The family told us they even took pictures of them sleeping together on the same dog bed. Yes, all was good in the world. BUT THE NEXT DAY things didn't go so well. It seems the resident dog said: "OK, the sleep-over is over. Time for you to go home..." and it was down hill from there. Rosie couldn't understand what was going on, but (because of the resident dog's being such a bully) Rosie is back at the shelter once again waiting for a new home of her own. After that traumatic experience with that resident dog deciding the overnight stay was over, we feel placing Rosie as an only dog might be best<br/><br/>Rosie is a sweetheart of a dog that's just had some very bad luck. This is how she ended up at the shelter: We understand she was found tied to a fire hydrant. Hoping for the good in people, we'd like to think that maybe she was running loose in the streets and a good Samaritan tethered her to the fire hydrant so she wouldn't be hit by a car. We were hoping there would be a family looking for her, but no one called. No one came. Now we're looking for a new home for our Rosie. <br/><br/>Rosie's been to the vet who, by the way, thinks she's a doll. They estimated Rosie to be about maybe 2 years old. Rosie's Heartworm/Lyme Disease tests were negative, and her fecal tests also came back negative. She was given her Rabies, Distemper, etc. vaccinations, and was spayed. Everyone at the vet's office said what a sweetheart Rosie is, and needless to say, they all fell in love. <br/><br/>.....NOTE: Now, 2 years later, Rosie must think "Home-Sweet-Home" is the animal shelter. She's become a couch potato, and has put on a little weight. Maybe we should call her 'Chunks'. We're sure once adopted and taken on regular walks and has room to run around, she'll slim down again. Her Rabies and Distemper vaccinations have been updated, and now we're estimating Rosie is about 4 years old. She is still waiting patiently for that home to call her own. Rosie loves people, loves going for walks, and she knows the commend 'sit' - especially for treats - and (with the long hours between being taken out) she tries to keep her run clean so we're thinking she may be housebroken. <br/><br/>BUT Rosie has a Guardian Angel... Well, several Guardian Angels.... Rosie has become the 'Facility Foster' at the Prospect Ridge Veterinary Hospital (PRVH). She'll be spending her time with everyone there giving her lots of love and attention while they work on finding her a home. (Rosie can be see at PRVH by appointment.) <br/><br/>If you have any questions, would like more information about Rosie or if you are considering adoption, you can give us a call (973-736-8689). Or, speak with an animal control officer through the West Orange Health Department at 973-325-4121. <br/><br/>...........
