My personality

My story

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

PLEASE READ THE BIO AND DON'T INQUIRE SIMPLY BASED ON HER PICTURE! UNTIL POSIE GOT TO HER FOSTER FAMILY, WE BELIEVE SHE SPENT THE MAJORITY OF HER LIFE IN A CRATE, UNFAMILIAR WITH THE OUTDOORS, MINIMAL INTERACTIONS WITH PEOPLE, AND HAD NEVER FELT GRASS.

Nicknames: Posie Rosie, piglet, mamas

Breed: Bully mix? Frenchie mix? Pittie Mix? Frenchie/Pit?

Age: 3 years

Weight: short and stocky.

Key descriptors: Lovable. Silly. Snuggly. Opinionated. Hungry.

Energy level: low. She is the queen of daytime naps, she went on her first half mile walk and I think she said 1 was enough for the rest of her life. She will chase a ball or toy if thrown, and bring it back.

What we love: She’s a snuggler. She’s a comedian with her ears and bully wiggle.

What she loves: Food. Lovins. Naps. Toys. Her bed. Snuggles. All of the attention. Treats

What makes us laugh: Her EARS that can’t decide if they are yoda, frenchie or pug. The random tooth that with snaggle her lip. How fast she thinks she’s going when she has the zoomies but she’s got tiny legs! The fact that at any point of the day she wants to be breathing the same cubic inch of air as you. How excited she gets when she experiences something new; running around and make sure to lean in for a hug each lap!

What she knows: Sit. Come. Look.

What she’s working on: Taking treats less piranha-like. Building her confidence around strangers, and outside. Keeping four on the floor.

Learning how to be a dog.

House-trained: No. potty pad trained and with time & consistency she could be now that she’s getting over her fear of outside. When she gets excited she will mouth your hands but not bite.

She’s SMART! Learned to potty pad train & look command in a matter of hours. Treat motivated!

Dogs: She’s fostered with one male dogs now and has done well with slow introduction. She has not met any female dogs. She has become more vocal (talk) when she wants your attention or is happy to see you! Loves to chew her toys, and has started getting zoomies! She could be fine as a solo gal!

Cats: Not tested.

No littles, preferably 12+. She will steal food out of their hands and probably take the plate, too. Fast movements are a no go for her, she startles easily.

Bark: only when she's excited or to alert. Will stop when you acknowledge her. She does not bark while left home, she’s busy napping.

Crate-trained: currently only rides in her crate for long car rides, as we believe she spent a lot of time in her earlier days in her crate. She does well in her own space with her potty pad and bed with a couple toys.

What she needs: a home with consistent schedule, experience in rehabilitating dogs from abuse/neglect.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Our adoptions start with an application and approval process. Most of our adult dogs have an adoption fee of $250, regardless of how much medical attention they have received (some of them cost us substantially more than that, all of our rescues are thoroughly vetted and treated for any illness before being adopted out). You must be 21 adopt from us.

We prefer a fenced in yard but it's not required. All people in the household must be present for adoption and we request that you at least spend 45 minutes with the pet of your choice before making the commitment to take them home

EVERY adoption includes spay or neuter. Check around; not everyone includes the price of surgery, even if it's required. Our donation for dogs also includes: first shots, heartworm test if over 6 months, and rabies shot (at time of surgery if too young). Most are also microchipped. Cats come with surgery cost included, first shots, FIV test, and nail trim. We do NOT allow our cats to be declawed!

More about this rescue

We are a foster style rescue. Our pets live with us, so we know more about them than the average shelter. We have a variety of homes that include other dogs, cats, kids, etc.

Spaying and neutering is the absolute best way to curb pet overpopulation. We believe in low cost spay and neuter and can provide info on low cost surgeries.

We also believe pet nutrition and vaccine awareness can keep your best friend healthy for life. Our fosters are fed high quality food. We encourage people to explore the nutritional value of pet food and make the best decision for their pets.
