Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Rosebud is a beautiful 8"ish" year old Golden Retriever. Rosebud spent her life up to this point producing beautiful puppies, now it's her turn to be pampered and spoiled. Having not lived in a normal family/household environment Rosebud is afraid of most things that other dogs are not phased by. She has come a long way since arriving into foster care. When she arrived she was afraid of the grass, the sky, nature, doorways, the TV, basically life. She quickly discovered that living in Colorado as a member of a family has its benefits. She is learning to trust and will even cuddle with her foster mom.
She has also begun to play with her foster siblings. Rosebud doesn't like going on walks, but once out there will admit she enjoys it. She arrived with 2 bad ear infections, a urinary track infection and is losing a lot of her hair. The vet says that it may be nerves, a result of weaning her pups or a thyroid issue. Her thyroid is a little low but with everything else that is going on, recommends re-testing her thyroid in June or July. She is scheduled to be spayed soon and have her teeth cleaned and will feel like a new girl once that has been completed.
She weighs 62 lbs with her ideal weight being about 55 lbs. She is a petite little thing. She has had a few accidents in the house but does well when you take her outside. She needs a routine and because she's afraid of not being allowed to come back in the house she'll need someone willing to accompany her outside, at least in her early stages of overcoming her fears. Even with her foster siblings going out, she feels safest if her human goes with her. She does fine with free run of the house when left alone.
She will require a quiet fur-ever home with another confident dog and someone committed to being patient with her and help teach her what life as a Golden Retriever should be like.
