"If you are looking for an extremely dog friendly little lady, let me introduce you to Rosanna!! She is our 10th foster and arguably the most dog friendly one we've had so far. She gets along with all dogs..... from tiny 20 pound pups to Great Danes, and she fits right in with any size or breed.
Rosanna is about a year old. She came into CACC as an owner surrender at just 6 months and ended up growing up in the shelter. Border Tails Rescue pulled her so she could finally get the second chance she deserves.
Rosanna is a tiny little thing, and she is even smaller in person than her pictures make her look. She also loves a big cozy bed and will curl herself right into the fluffiest spot she can find.
In my home, she sleeps wonderfully in her crate next to my bed, rides beautifully in the car, and settles quickly after playtime. She plays with my dogs in the yard when she is feeling spunky, but indoors she becomes a little shadow. She finds a spot on her bed while we are working in the office or curls up right next to my legs on the couch. She LOVES to snuggle and she is happiest on her heating pad or tucked up against you.
She has no prey drive. She peacefully watches the squirrels in the yard without making a move. She also shows zero resource guarding, and my dogs can take toys right from her without an issue at all.
She does get excited and a little jumpy sometimes, but it is nothing unmanageable. Redirecting her with a bone or a toy helps her settle right down. She can be startled by small things, like ice falling from the fridge, but she learns fast. Because she missed out on her early puppy life in a home, she would really benefit from having another dog to show her the ropes and help build her confidence.
Most importantly, please do not count her out on the first day. She may be unsure in a new place, but she is truly a sweet, gentle girl who just needs someone to give her a real chance."
Rosanna, a recent arrival from Chicago Animal Care and Control, has a striking brown and tan coat and a kind personality. She’s a little bit shy and reserved, but with exposure and time, she’ll learn the meaning of love and family and make an amazing companion. She is smart and eager to learn new things, making a great training companion as well!
From her foster family: " Update on Roseanna she is doing well in her foster home getting along with the two large resident dogs and loves following her foster humans around. She is enjoying a nice fenced in yard. She always likes to be within eyesight. She is fairly quiet and likes exploring the world outside the shelter. She is shy at first but warms up fast.
She is doing well on walks and doesn't show any leash reactivity. She enjoys car rides and likes to just sit in the back seat. She is making great strides with potty training and learning manners. She is also doing well crate training. She is food motivated which is helping her learning curve of the outside world. She sleeps through the night with no issues. She also gets the zoomies a few times a day while outside in the fenced yard, so a home with a fenced yard would be great for her. She also just enjoys laying around outside in the yard chewing on Nylabones.
When she tires out she likes to snuggle up and fall asleep close to her fosters with some of the most adorable little snores. Shes already learned so much from being with us. We know she will do great in a home with or without another pup. Lastly Rosanna would greatly benefit from a family that will be patient, continue with training, and of course a lot of love and affection."
Dog day out review: "Roseanna is showing all the normal signs for a good puppy. She definitely has to get her wiggles out when she first meets you, but is eager to learn (with lots of treats) and loves to show affection. She was very easygoing in the car, and began chewing on a cardboard box I had, which is normal behavior for a dog her age.
She is excellent on the leash for being a puppy, and we practiced making good eye contact which is an important skill to teach while leash training. Whenever I bent down to her level she acknowledged me with kisses or chose to sit by my side for some pets and rubs. She may have silly eyes, but from spending the afternoon with her, they definitely give the look of love.
Although I didn’t see how she interacted with other dogs or kids, with the proper socialization and training I am sure she will make an excellent pet for anyone who loves to be outdoors, adventurous, and is able to give her the stimulation and love that any puppy deserves."
