She was very scared and shut down. She did not go outside for the first 24 hours because everything was so scary and new. We wonder if she was an outside dog prior to coming into the rescue. We are working on house-training; she does not have cues for when she needs to go potty, so we are offering to go outside frequently. Our resident dog is trained to ring bells to go outside, so Vidalia is aware that the bells mean the door is opening so she will come to the door and go outside.  We attempted to crate her overnight, but after a few nights of no sleep due to barking and howling, she now sleeps on the floor in our bedroom all night quietly. She is crated while we are at work all day and while she is hesitant to go into the crate, she keeps it clean and does not destroy her bedding.  Vidalia is slowly learning that a harness and leash lead her to fun outings and walks. She walks well without pulling. I double leash her with her harness and leash since she is timid and backs up when scared. She is not afraid of loud noises (ambulance, blender, vacuum) but does react to sudden movement by retreating and "pancaking." Vidalia does not seem to be high energy. She has started to play with toys, but so far is not interested in tug or fetch; just solo play. She makes attempts to play with our resident dog, but our dog is selective and doesn't love to play. I do think Vidalia would benefit from another dog friend in her forever home to help her learn to be a house dog, gain confidence and a playmate.  She really is a sweet, affectionate, calm dog!  To view additional dogs available for adoption, please see our website: www.4luvofdog.org December 20, 2024, 11:21 pm

Please read our Frequently Asked Questions and Adoption Processed Explained documentation. _________ B I O ______________  Name: Cozy Size: Small range: Up to 25 lbs  Adoption Donation:&#226&#128&#175$250 (applicable sales tax included).&#226&#128&#175Adoption fees may be paid by cash or check.&#226&#128&#175  Other:&#226&#128&#175Spayed Female, Vaccinations current, Microchip    Cozy has given life to her puppies and is ready for her life to begin **  Cozy tested positive for Ehrlichia and has completed treatment. A dog's immune system can carry antibodies for Ehrlichia for as long as four years. This means that a dog may test positive for that duration. Ehrlichia info: https://www.petcoach.co/article/ehrlichiosis-in-dogs/ Foster Home Feedback  12/19/24 Foster Feedback: Cozy came to the rescue just in the nick of time. She was a very pregnant girl and became a mama within 36 hours of settling into her new foster home. She was a great mom to her six babies but is now rested and ready for undivided attention. Cozy starts out being hesitant with new people, but after she gains your trust, she will be your dedicated lap dog. She does put out a soft growl if she is unfamiliar with or does not recognize visitors. She does not like sudden movements or loud noises when she meets new people. After slow introductions, she is good with adults and children if they are calm and respectful to her. Cozy came from a warmer climate and is not loving her first snow-filled, sub-zero winter. She is potty trained and walks well on a leash. Bunnies and squirrels easily distract her while on walks. When this happens, she forgets that the objective of the mission is to go to the bathroom. Cozy is crate trained. She isn’t a huge fan right when she gets in her kennel, but settles in within moments, as long as she has a soft blankie to snuggle. Cozy likes to chew on Nyla bones, squeaky toys, and plush toys. She was in a house with other dogs when she first arrived at the rescue. She got along well with these dogs. She has started to initiate play with her foster family and definitely has “Fear Of Missing Out” syndrome. Wherever you are is where she wants to be. Cozy is a sweet young girl looking for someone to love her and give her the best forever home.  ** Cozy is anaplasmosis positive. This is a tick-borne illness, and she is currently being treated with Doxycycline.
