My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

We’d like to welcome this gorgeous gal, Rosie, to AHL! Rosie was surrendered to a local animal control with her litter mates and she was the last one left (we know, that’s nuts)! She was lucky enough to be taken home by a volunteer when the “shelter in place” order went into effect. Animal shelters can’t do adoptions now and aren’t open to the public. This is a very sad reality for shelter animals everywhere. And many dogs aren’t as lucky as Rosie, to have had temporary housing. But even if they were, that’s temporary, and being returned to the shelter is their reality.

But what we can do in this difficult time is team up and work together. Rescue transfers can still happen so shelter dogs need rescues even more than ever right now. Although this little lady was being cared for by a volunteer, a more permanent solution, which would allow for adoption, would be the best thing for her. So the volunteer who had Rosie, opted to do just that. Rosie was a shelter dog that was transferred to Animal Heartline and is now in one of our foster homes. And when she’s ready, she’ll go up for adoption. Now Rosie won’t have to go back to the shelter.

We’d like to thank everyone who has been working tirelessly to get animals into the best possible situations, in these very uncertain times. But Rosie, although adorable and sweet...is easy to find a home for! The shelters and temporary foster homes are still housing, adult bully breeds that still need help and they need it the most.

We’ve been overwhelmed at the amount of applications we’ve received from a lot of really nice and well meaning families. A lot of apps have been very specific about breeds, sizes and ages. While we absolutely understand and respect that, the largest population of dogs in shelters right now, that have no chance of being adopted, by the public (because they’re all closed due to the virus) are the adult, large breeds. Mostly, those with beautiful block heads. We have multiple bullies we’d like to bring into our rescue. But we can’t do it without an approved home. But no matter how many apps we get, we do still have an approval process that we aren’t wavering on. We apologize if someone applied and we didn’t approve. We want to save a lot of dogs too. We don’t like denying apps but not every app works for every dog and there are some set standards that we won’t veer away from. We want the dogs and the families to be successful! And not just while this virus is keeping us home. Fostering is for the length of time it takes to get that dog adopted. It does not end when the “shelter in place” is lifted.

Rosie is 10 weeks old and I going to be a large dog. She is great with all people including kids.

We would really love her to live with a male dog. We do not adopt pit bull or pit mixes that are females to homes with other female dogs,

To adopt Rosie go to animalheartline.org and fill out the required application.

No out of state adoptions
