Rosemary *****RESERVED*****
Rosemary -D2024-147
• Needs a resident dog for confidence
• Older dog savvy children
• Not cat or small furry tested
Rosemary is a 4 year old Cocker Spaniel described by her foster mum as a timid, gentle soul who is lacking in confidence and at the moment is very dependent on the resident dogs to show her that all will be okay and she is safe now. She loves cuddles in her safe space, which is an open crate with lots of nice, warm fluffy blankets. She is still decompressing and is enjoying spying on foster mum watching what she gets up to. She is not yet looking for fuss and attention but her tail is wagging non stop and she is almost there.
Rosemary has a cheeky side when unobserved and will pinch anything not tidied away or left on worksurfaces. This is not her fault no one has loved her enough before to teach her the house rules. So be warned if you leave it out, she thinks its hers and will take it off to her safe place for a chew and cuddle. She doesn’t know the joy of toys yet and also likes to chew on these. She is starting to enjoy being brushed and this will need to continue in her forever home to make her confident to go to the groomers.
Rosemary can live with older dog savvy children who have the patience and time to encourage her to integrate into the home without fear.
Not cat or small furry tested.
She has been for her first walk today out in the big wide world and although nervous she coped extremely well. Foster mum met some friends when out and after commenting how pretty Rosemary is and giving her time to relax, she allowed some gentle pets. This will continue with her foster mum but she really needs a new big brother or sister to show her all the joys the world has to offer our princess.
She sleeps soundly in her crate in the kitchen
She is almost fully house trained. She will always toilets in the garden when out. So she needs a routine and nice treats when she has done good.
She has no food issues and is starting to enjoy having good food and regular meals. She eats her food slowly and will need to be watched to make sure no other dogs scare her off her food. She is also learning what treats are and takes these gently.
Rosemary needs a home with a confident resident dog of similar size and a family that can give her time and patience to become a loving companion. She will come out of her shell and it will be joyous to watch. This girl has a bright future in front of her and needs her family to be her guiding light.
