My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Veronica is a very special little lady. She was picked up when a volunteer went to pull another cattle dog from a pound and noticed Veronica huddled in the corner of her run. She wouldn’t come out and would pee herself whenever anyone looked at her. Veronica then became a Big Fluffy Dog, despite not being big or fluffy.
She is a 2 year old cattle dog mix. She weighs in at 32 pounds and is crate trained. This is helpful because Ronnie (as she is called) is extremely timid and shy the first few days around new people and will retreat to her space for comfort. She is working on housetraining, but she does get so scared, she makes puddles sometimes. Ronnie’s ideal home would be someone who has 1-3 well-adjusted friendly pups to model for Ronnie and make her more comfortable. A fenced in yard is for the best, as Ronnie will need time to adjust. No small children, only because the noises they make could spook this girl.
Ronnie is not the dog for the first time dog owner, but she is the one for someone who wants a sweet, playful girl to come into her own and have a playmate for the other pups. She needs someone with patience, a calm approach, and a lot of paper towels for those initial puddles!
If you think Ronnie would fit in with your squad, email Amanda.lin@bigfluffydogs.com and fill out an application today!


If you are interested in adopting this dog, please apply online, at http://www.bigfluffydogs.com/online-app.php. Our main website, www.bigfluffydogs.com has more information about us and the rescue process. NOTE TO EMAILERS FROM ADOPT-A-PET: WE DO NOT RESPOND TO EMAIL INQUIRIES WITHOUT AN APPLICATION. WE REGRET WE CANNOT RESPOND TO EVERY EMAIL, BUT UNLESS YOU FILL OUT AN APPLICATION, WE DO NOT KNOW YOU EXIST. All known information about an individual dog is provided in it's listing. We do our best to provide accurate information, but adopters must understand that each home is different and the dog may behave differently in a new home. Dogs are creatures of their environment and you help make the dog what it will be. Homes considering adopting a puppy must be prepared for:1.) Flexible schedules for potty training. Puppies can only "hold it" for one hour per month of age (ex. a 4 month old puppy can only go 4 hours without a potty break).2.) Crate training until the puppy is at least one year old, to prevent chewing on inappropriate things when you can't supervise.3.) Socialization: The more positive and varying experiences as a puppy the better, both in and out of your home.4.) Puppy behavior and life stages are equivalent to a human toddler. It takes at least a full year to have a calmer, well adjusted dog. Patience is required and when your dog's behavior is a positive experience for you and those around you, your patience will be rewarded tenfold, for years to come.Please do not consider adopting a puppy if you have not thoroughly thought through the pros and cons of having one. So many people end up returning them after 3-5 months because they didn't realize the amount of work involved in raising a puppy.Patience, appropriate toys, socialization, and obedience training are all musts. All are time consuming, and can be expensive.All Dogs Require:Supervision with children and obedience training. Adopters that want to have good dogs must be prepared to put the time and effort into training a dog. Any dog requires work and effort, but a well trained, well socialized dog is more than worth the effort put in to get them there.
