Rosie

My story

Accepting Best Friend Applications Now! Hi Everyone! My name is Rosie! I am a 7 year old pitty mix. I joined A Tail of 4 Paws Animal Rescue in May 2024. My brother Rocky and I were rescued from a neglect situation with seven other dogs in Southern Illinois. I was honestly in really bad shape...I felt horrible and didn't look much better. I had very little fur, lumps, skin infection, skin allergies and trauma induced cauliflower ear. On top of all that, I have a spinal issue that has caused some weakening in my rear end. It makes me a little wobbly when walking and some fecal incontinence. After a few trips to the vet, I have received the best medical treatment from medicated baths, a dental, biopsy on my lumps(all benign) and medication to help me heal. Now that I am feeling better, my true colors are shining through. I love to be outside with the sun shining on me, going for short walks or strolls in the yard, to play tug of war, and chewing on my toys. I love my humans and at times get a bit jealous when other pups are getting attention because I believe I am the princess and deserve all eyes on me. I’m not sure how I feel about cats either. I would do best in a home where I can have undivided attention of my human(s). I would love to find someone that can be home with me all day and not have to go to one of those "job" things. I do have potty accidents so having someone home can help keep me on a potty schedule has helped with my accidents. I am up to date on my vaccines, spayed and microchipped. I love to go for short walks on a leash where I can explore the great outdoors. I’m also not a huge fan of a crate, but I love the open-air feeling of a pen – it’s my safe space. As you can tell I have been through a lot in my former life but I am excited for my future! I am looking for someone that will love me, spoil me, pamper me, keep me on a schedule and make sure I have the best life for the rest of my years. If I sound like your new best friend, I am accepting applications and will reach out after I review them. Please apply at www.atailof4paws.org. I look forward to finding me new best friend!!
