Story

400 DAYS IN FOSTER O APPLICATIONS Someone needs to give him a chance. They will see this loving, goofy boy who is just scared to be hurt again. Imagine being Joe... Once in a home then the next minute in a highly rural shelter. Then OVER a year later, you are still in foster care!! Unfortunately a few foster homes since no one ever plans on fostering for that long...so you go where you are asked to go. Not 1 application. Not 1 click on petfinder. Still searching for love & his human Joe is who he is. He would rather sunbathe for hours and tan his golden skin than do any type of crazy leash activity, like walking!! He needs a home where he'll get some exercise but he's pretty low key. He prefers running around in a yard or fenced area to a leash. His recall is fabulous! Joe is just that dog who is amazing in a house, and one with a backyard. He's just unsure of the world when he goes outside (and in a way we can't blame him). He's a homebody. He's good with dogs. He is a big cuddle bear with a tongue that hangs out every chance it can. He's crate trained. Apply to adopt rosierescue.org

Size

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

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 2 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

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Small, fully grown, fluffy, sexy hunk alert Living with kids Great with dogs Beto is a 2-year-old, 34lb boy!! Beto is such a cute pup! We don't know his past but we know when he arrived to a rural shelter, who just opened, it was fate to have him saved. He's so adorable we couldn't imagine what would have happened to him if they weren't there to save his life. Beto have been through so much in his little life. He was a stray and came in with a demodex skin infection and a horrible mouth issues (his broken bone stuck behind his tooth, and caused a nasty infection!!). He also came in heart-worm positive. After all that, he then sat for months in the shelter without any hope. . Well we changed that fate. He's in a foster home, LOVING life and getting all the sweetness he deserves. He lives with kids, another dog and is learning how to be happy as a clam. He's a shy dog at first so whoever wants to adopt will need to have patience and love as he needs to know he's safe before coming out of his shell. He walks old on a leash and will be a perfect addition to any family!! Wanna adopt? rosierescue.org
