ROSIE (cc#6942) Terrier Mix West Orange, NJ

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. Rosie went to their home, and all was good The family told us they even took pictures of them sleeping together on the same dog bed. All was good in with 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. Now Rosie is back at the shelter once again waiting for a new home of her own.

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.

Rosie's been to the vet who , by the way, thinks she's a doll. She estimates Rosie is only 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 say what a sweetheart Rosie is, and needless to say, they all fell in love.

Rosie loves people, loves going for walks, and she knows the commend 'sit'
- especially for treats - and she tries to keep her run clean so she may be housebroken.

NOTE: After Rosie's traumatic experience with that resident dog deciding the overnight stay was over, we feel placing Rosie as an only dog might be best
