My story

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

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

Rosie is an owner surrender to a shelter where she lived outside in rural Virginia, but very much likes her new indoor dog life! She is about 1.5 y o. She is a sweet, friendly girl. Rosie was a little shut down from all the changes in her life, but she has come out of her shell with a personality of playfulness, happiness, and joy. She does need continuing confidence building.

She has been evaluated by a certified behaviorist/trainer. Her findings are as follows:

  • she is sweet and people focused
  • she was uncomfortable with forced handling (holding and touching feet) but very tolerant and accepting
  • she needs work on conditioning and given space to choose contact and not forced to interact, she will demand attention and contact when wanted
  • loves attention and petting, seeks human for assurance and when anxious
  • not food motivated, but will accept food and treats
  • likes toys
  • seems ok with dogs, but will need slow introduction and time
  • high risk for separation anxiety, showing some signs now. Can correct with appropriate conditioning

The adoption contract requires training with one of TRD's approved trainers.

Interested adopters may submit an adoption application on the website at http://www.trainingrescues.org/adoptprocess.html
