Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Meet Hushpuppy! 2-3 years old/45 lbs Hushpuppy is a very loving girl, she wants to be by your side constantly. She loves to cuddle in bed with her legs up in the air. She does well with small dogs and cats. The current foster has very confident cats who don't run at the sight of a dog, however, if the cats do get the zoomies Hushpuppy does get a bit excited and try to chase. So would do best in a home with chill and confident cats. She likes to play and would benefit from a dog her size to play with. She is very very smart and is eager to please, just needs more time and intentional training. She would do best with a household who is home majority of the time. Hushpuppy does well on a leash! Very chill, with little to no pulling. Apply to adopt rosierescue.org

Callie

Labrador Retriever Mixed Breed (Medium)

Female, 1 yr 4 mos

Mount Pleasant, SC

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

This girl is incredible. Imagine this.... Your first experience with humans was terrible. Callie and her sister were trapped by a human and left in a kennel outside to live day in and day out....Never once being given proper care or human love....Never once being held or petted. Never once knowing what love is. Just living in a crate scared and enduring the worst that the weather and life brought to her. Once animal control got word, they had to go get them in a rainstorm and almost couldn't due to flooding. They were trapped in that kennel in the rain. THIS GIRL deserves the world. She deserves to know that the world isn't so cruel. Can you do that? Callie loves her toys, snuggling, and chewing (ha puppy vibes!). It takes a while for her to warm up to people, but once she does, she's a super sweet, cuddly, and loving girl. Callie needs a home that is patient and has experience with shy / reserve dogs. She is fully potty trained and sleeps well in her crate at night. Callie would do best with a fenced in yard and with other dogs who can show her the ropes. She's a sweet girl who, with time and training, has great potential to be someone's forever companion. She prefers male dogs to female however that isn't to say your female she wouldn't get along with (Us ladies can be selective ya know?! ). Her fosters have done incredible but it's time for her to fly. BONUS: Callie knows sit, lay down, and paw!!! 45lbs / 11 months / fully vetted. Apply at rosierescue.org
