Sarah (Rosemary 10-375)

back to Adopted Dogs

Profile

Rosemary is an approximately 3 year-old female.  She's only been with us a little over a day but we know quite a bit about her already. She LOVES to be petted and huggled!  She's healthy, but thin.  She loves, loves, loves toys!  We're working to teach her that some things aren't her toys. :-)  She knows sit, lay down, and comes when called or whistled for.  Currently, she's not house-broken, but we're working on it.  On our walk today she tried to chase the cars.  We're working on that too.
 
As far as her past goes we know she was brought in as a stray to a shelter.  She had been skunked so she got a few baths and brushing there.  Volunteers (some kids) brushed her and walked her with other dogs.  During the course of her stay (almost 3 months!) she started exhibiting kennel-related behaviors.  She started not eating in her kennel and would get growly at dogs walking by.  The wonderful people at the shelter checked her weight and saw that she had gone from 53 (on 9/9) to 41.4 pounds (on 11/30)!  They started feeding her outside of her kennel and called RAGOM.  I'm happy to report that on 12/3 she weighed 45 pounds, so she's put back on some weight but her ribs are still too noticeable.
 
She is sweet and lovable and will make a great forever friend for someone.

Updates

Wednesday, January 2, 2013

Thought we would take a moment to update Rosemary 10-375, (now Sarah). Sarah became a member of our family in December 2010. She went through obedience school, really more of training for the family on how to bring up a dog properly!

Sarah has come to be an incredible snuggler and retriever of all things. In the spring of 2011, she got to learn life at the lake. At first she would only dip her toes, and had no idea of how to jump in. When she found out how much fun water really is, she changed her mind and now whistles a little when we start to pack up. She does superman dives from the dock to chase balls, and loves sitting in a boat with her 2-legged brothers.

A true velcro dog, Sarah will always be within sight of whomever is home. Snow is the best, water is the best, toys are the best, walks are the best... every day is a new best day!

Hi, this is Rosemary. Last night these people came to visit me at my foster house and they brought treats! We went for a walk and it was fun, except they made me wear that stupid Gentle Leader. We played soccer in the backyard and the 2 youngest loved me up and thought I was great! 
 
Know what? Tonight these same people came back to see me again! I was a lot calmer tonight, which they were happy to see. I rolled on my back and they scratched my tummy! Cool, huh?!? I played with my 2 new "boys" while FM and FD talked to the 2 other people and then guess what? I got to go home with them! It's so cool because now I don't have to live with the resident dog that doesn't like it if I jump on him.
