Story
Rosie is a 3-year-old Cattle Dog looking for a very special home where she can continue building confidence at her own pace.
Rosie was found abandoned in the country, and we don't know what her life looked like before rescue. When she first arrived in foster care, the world felt like a scary place. With patience, consistency, and understanding, she has made incredible progress.
Rosie is now on anxiety medication, which has made a meaningful difference for her. It has allowed her to relax, let her guard down, and show us the sweet, loving dog underneath all that worry. She can still be nervous in new situations and needs time to feel comfortable with unfamiliar people, but once she trusts you, she is affectionate and gentle.
Rosie is extremely fearful of men, so we are specifically looking for a female adopter or female-only household. We also feel she would do best in an adults-only home that is calm, predictable, and willing to give her the time and space she needs.
Rosie isn't going to be the dog who immediately runs up to greet you. She's the dog who will slowly learn that she is safe and that she doesn't always have to be on guard. Her progress has been hard-earned, and we're looking for someone who will appreciate that, never rush her, and celebrate her little victories.
Rosie has already come so far, and with the right person, we know she has so much more to give.

Rosie is an Austrailian Cattle Dog (mix?) and is about 3-4 years old. She is fostered in a private home in Lincoln. The adoption fee is $300 which helps cover the cost of vetting procedures.
