ADOPTED ON 12-10-16 - Rogue, Xavier and Logan were left on the steps of a veterinarian’s office in a box in Louisanna. They were covered with mange and malnourished. Our wonderful compassionate vet called and asked their now foster if she could take them and find them new homes. Our foster tells us that they are all a joy to take care of. Each one will make a wonderful family member companion.
Rouge is all better now and is full of life, her little small black framed is bright and healthy making this beautiful girl a great friend for a family. She loves to wrestle and play with her siblings and foster friends—she can keep up with her brothers. She is a very sweet natured little girl who loves her belly and ears rubbed and lots of human attention.
Rogue is still a puppy and will need heaps of play time and exercise. As she grows over the next few months, like most dogs, she will calm down however, when she is inside, she settles in nicely and will curly up with her human. She is a dog social dog, which means that she gets along with other dogs and loves her fosters grandchildren and anyone else that she meets. She greets everyone with a smile and tail wag, if she could talk, you could almost hear her say, “Hey, come on in, how are you today”?
A home with another dog would be nice for her but not required, however, because she is a social dog and her new family doesn’t have her furry friends, she will need her human family to satisfy her dazzling social personality. Children would be a plus, she is a perfect companion for someone that works from home, an active family that takes their dog to games or jogs.
This adorable gal is looking for a loving family that will dote on her and treat her as she deserves--a lifetime cherished member. Our rescue works from our hearts for our dogs; it is the least we can do for them because they deserve nothing less. We owe it to our dogs that the wonderful people who stand to be the last chapter of their rescue and the first chapter of their new forever lives deserve her.
Rogue is ready to slide right into your heart, do you have the requirements of a forever home of her own and endless love to celebrate her special qualities? Now all she needs is many years where she can continue to be a peaceful and loyal member of a family. Will you open your heart to her and give her the love she so deserves? In return, her companionship and friendship will be with you every day.

CHILDREN

Like all dogs, however, he needs to be trained how to act around kids — and kids need to be taught how to act around the dog. As with every breed, you should always teach children how to approach and touch dogs, and always supervise any interactions between dogs and young children to prevent any biting or ear or tail pulling on the part of either party. No dog, no matter how friendly, should ever be left unsupervised with a child.
