My personality

My story

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

Sailor is a 2 year old Australian Cattle Dog mix (possibly Akita!) weighing around 50lbs. He recently came to us from a shelter in New Jersey. They picked him up as a stray running down the highway jumping over the medians to avoid capture!

Sailor has been good with both male and female dogs, and is on the neutral side but likes to play when he gets comfortable. He’s young and has a high energy so he can get a bit overstimulated at times and would benefit from a calm but confident owner. He is crate trained and potty trained when kept on a consistent routine. He loves walks but needs some work on loose leash walking.

Sailor is looking for a home WITHOUT cats as he is overly interested in playing with and herding them. Due to his size and energy we would not recommend him for a household with young children.

Please note, Sailor is only available on a foster to adopt basis until after a few more vaccine updates. If you’re interested in fostering or adopting, please fill out an application at www.rosebudrescue.com/adopt

*If you have previously submitted an application for another dog who is pending or has been adopted, you can email us with your full name and phone number and ask us to process your application for another dog or general pre-approval instead*

Additional adoption info

We will first look over your application and decide if you are a good fit for the dog in question. If we feel that dog is not right for you but have another we would recommend, we will reach out to you. If an application is missing ANY information, or if we feel anything indicated on the application does not align with the care we want our dogs to have, you will be denied.

The next step will be to reach out to your references. Please give them a heads up! You must call your vet and giving them permission to release information about current and past pets in your home to Rosebud Rescue and our volunteers. We will inquire with your vet about the care of current and past animals in your home and their vaccination status, spay/neuter status, monthly preventatives, etc. If renting, we must get confirmation from your landlord that you are able to adopt a dog. Please understand that reaching out to your references is time consuming, and we will only call once. If we are unable to get sufficient information from the references provided in a timely manner, we will not be able to approve your application.

Once fully approved, a representative will get in touch with you to schedule a meet and greet. The first meet and greet will be with human family members at our rescue or the dogs foster home. If there are other pets in your home we will do a slow and proper introduction at the home check.

Our adoption process is slow, well thought out, and in the best interest of our dogs and their adopters. In an effort to not rush things, we place a pending adoption status on our dogs after a meet and greet is scheduled. After the initial meet and greet, you will have 1 week to follow up with us on your decision before the dog is made available for adoption.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

Rosebud Rescue dogs are available for scheduled meet and greets to approved adopters only, If there is not a dog you are immediately interested in you may fill out an application to become pre-approved to adopt, which will be kept on file for a calendar year.

More about this rescue

Rosebud Rescue Inc. is a 501c3 nonprofit organization in West Falls, NY specializing in herding breed dogs. Our goal is to rehabilitate and rehome to owners who understand the needs of a high energy working dog, and to offer permanent sanctuary and safe management for those who have been deemed unadoptable to the general public.

While we'll do our best to help any dog in need, our focus is primarily on herding breeds. These breeds are often misunderstood due to their drive, energy level, and instincts. Our goal is to provide our adopters with the education and tools to live healthy, fulfilling lives with these incredibly smart and loyal dogs!

Another area of focus for us are dogs with disabilities, behavioral issues, or medical issues.These dogs often require some extra attention and care in one way or another and we pride ourselves on taking the time to work with them to not only make their quality of life the best it can be, but to also help our adopters maintain that care after welcoming their new 4-legged family member.
