My personality

My story

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

Coraline is a 2 year old Australian Cattle Dog/Australian Shepherd mix weighing around 30lbs. She was surrendered to us about a month ago because she was no longer getting along with the other female dogs in the house. She is crate trained, potty trained when kept on a consistent routine, and walks great on a leash.

In true Cattle Dog fashion, Coraline does bond strongly to her “people” and is pretty indifferent to anyone else. She will be nervous at first when integrating into a new household, but once she warms up she will be your best friend and stick to you like glue! Our foster to adopt program would be great for her as it would give a potential adopter a few weeks to see her true self come out once acclimated.

Coraline is dog selective but could live with other male dogs who will respect her space. NO female dogs, cats, or kids under the age of 10. A fenced yard is not a requirement as she CANNOT be left alone in a yard unattended with a fence shorter than 8ft, however she is fine to be off leash in a shorter fenced area as long as she is monitored.

If you’re interested in fostering or adopting Coraline, please fill out an application at www.rosebudrescue.com/adopt or email us if you already have an application on file.

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.
