ADOPTED

ROSE

Lovely Rose takes our breath away: What a spunky little beauty, who promises to keep her adopters on their feet! We were gobsmacked when our Facebook Guru/Min Pin Maniac spotted Rose on the Dreaded Euthansia list in an Animal Control facility. Rose is only two years old!!! How the heck did this happen? Well, her story is such a familiar one, that we are hard pressed to find a new and creative way to tell it. Rose was a big city stray, charming her way through the diciest of neighborhoods, on the stroll for a good meal. In the blink of an eye, Rose found herself in the clink.

As a stray, Rose was in limbo until efforts could be exhausted to find her owners. During that brief time frame, Rose caught kennel cough and was rejected from the adoption program.....and slated for the Kill List.

And, a perky little Diva like Miss Rose is a real heartbreaker. She has so much love to give and will surely be the light that brightens her adopters' lives. Rose would do best with high energy, active folks, who understand that small dogs should receive their fair share of obedience and leadership work, rather than morph into a purse accessory in a pretty pink party dress.

Not to say that Rose would not totally rock the pretty, pink party dress look, but adopters should realize that "spitfire" energy can translate to "Marie Antoinette" complex, which can annoy folks, and put Rose on the outs with the neighborhood Rottweiler.

Rose likes people, and craves human touch, although she can be suspicious of some strangers. On her own, she will warm quickly, but if part of a pack of dogs with stranger danger, Rose will emulate pack dynamic. She has not had much obedience or leadership work in her young life, beyond what we have begun in foster care. Rose would benefit tremendously from a formal course and ongoing reinforcement in positive rewards training.

We think that Rose could be happy in a multi-dog home with other well trained dogs. She may be too fiesty for cats or toddlers, but might coexist with proper Adult supervision.

Rose has great house manners and is housetrained and crate trained . She is a well behaved car passenger and is tiny enough to travel anywhere. Rose can easily travel underseat in an airline approved Sherpa bag.

Rose is in excellent health and has been spayed. She has been vaccinated for rabies, parvo, distemper and bordatella, and is microchipped and de-wormed. She has tested negative for heartworm, lyme, earlichia and anaplasmosis.
