Temperament:  very sweet, quiet (but does know how to speak for a treat), calm and well behaved, will bond quickly. Energy level:  low Groom needs:  low maintenance Biography:  Roseanne came to us when, sadly, her owner passed away Christmas Eve.  Her daughter wrote a letter with details.  We are typing out a condensed version:   “About two years ago, my Mom went outside to water plants and left Rosie inside.  Rosie witnessed as Mom tripped and fell.  Mom broke her leg and was unable to move.  It happened at 8am on a brutally hot September day.  When I arrived at my mom’s at 2pm, I walked into Rosie running in circles and running to the back door.  I immediately knew something was wrong.  Mom had actually broke her leg.  She was in the hospital for 6 weeks before being released.  When she came home, Rosie literally looked like she was smiling.  She was so happy to see my mom.  Mom and Rosie were inseparable.  In September of 2025, Mom had medical emergencies, one after another.  She died on Christmas Eve.  Since then, Rosie has not been her usual bubbly self.  She disassociated herself with the four cats she has been close to her whole life.  She’ll lay on the blankets that had my mom’s scent.  I would keep her but my daughter is very allergic and it’s just not a suitable situation for Rosie.  Rosie does let you know if she needs to go potty or you can ask her “Do you have to potty” and she knows what that means.  After mom passed, we weren’t able to go to the house regularly, so we’d leave potty pads on the floor for her.  She is not much on toys.  She loves to hoard her treats in her blankets.  She gets along with dogs and cats.  She loves to roll in the grass on warm, sunny days.  She knows how to “speak” for a treat.    Roseanne has several nicknames “Rosie”, “Rosebud”, “RoRo” and “Rowena”.   Rosie was my mom’s best friend.  If my mom left the house, Rosie would wait by the door until she came back.  Mom would want Rosie to live and thrive, so for that sake, I pray she finds a loving home where she can be the best friend and sidekick to someone else.  Rosie deserves the best and she is such a calm, well-behaved dog.”   Note from Ninna’s Road to Rescue:  I think little else needs to be said other than since coming to us, we’ve learned that she is the sweetest little girl.  She is very quiet and doesn’t cause any issues at the rescue. She’s going to make a great companion for someone special.   **WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW** *We do adopt out of state provided the adopter is willing and able to travel to us once approved.  We do not ship or transport our animals and there is no exception to this rule.   *Most of our adoptable dogs are small, and they are never to be left outside alone, ever!  We only rehome our dogs to adopters that plan to have them as inside dogs and part of the family!   We do allow adopters with doggie doors, provided there is SECURE fencing and the dog is over 15 pounds.  There is no exception to this rule!   *PREDATORS:    IF THIS DOG IS UNDER 10 POUNDS, the dog is to be monitored and protected when outside at all times!  PREDATOR-THREAT IS A REAL DANGER!  For example, a hawk tried to pick up a Chihuahua owned by a friend visiting Ninna’s house… RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE VISITOR.  Thankfully the visitor was watching the dog and the hawk was wrestled off of the Chihuahua but it did require an ER visit and she is was very lucky to survive.   TAKE IT SERIOUSLY!     *NO SMALL CHILDREN!!  As with almost all the dogs at NR2R, young children or a very active household is not recommended.   Many of our dogs come to us BECAUSE of small children, thus we do not rehome our dogs to homes with babies or young children.  KEEP THIS IN MIND IF YOU HAVE VISITING GRANDCHILDREN AS WELL!  Even if the children are older, it would depend on the child AND the parent or parents.    *HOUSETRAINING:  We do NOT guarantee that any of our adoptable dogs are housetrained.   While most should be easily trained, keep in mind that they live in a rescue where they have access to the outdoors all day and are inside at night.  Even if they were surrendered to us as housetrained, it doesn’t mean they will automatically be housetrained in your home.  Housetraining them should be easy in the right home with time, patience, and consistency.    *KENNELING:  We always recommend kenneling when you cannot supervise your dog.  This helps with housetraining and any destructive tendencies until you get to know your knew addition.   *We do not guarantee the age, health or temperament of any of the dogs we rehome.  Many of the dogs we take in come from animal control and rarely do we have histories and even when we do, many times the histories are inaccurate.   *Only adopters with a responsible dog ownership history and excellent vet reference need apply.   If you bring this pet into your heart and home, you will receive in return many years of love, companionship, and loyalty.  That’s our guarantee.   Other notes:  This pet is available for adoption through Ninna’s Road to Rescue, Benton, La.  We are 501c3 non-profit organization.  Our mission is to rescue primarily small-breed dogs and to re-home them into RESPONSIBLE and CARING forever homes.    DOG APPLICATION LINK:   http://www.roadtorescuela.org/dog-application Time may be of the essence if you are looking to adopt a specific animal.  We do not reserve animals, unless and until we have approved your application, provided the animal is still available at the time we receive your application.  The first APPROVED application we receive will be considered.  We are NOT a first come, first serve rescue!! We adopt our rescues out to the RIGHT home, not just A home. Only responsible pet owners need apply. Applying to adopt does NOT commit you to the adoption NOR does it guarantee the adoption. CONTACT:  Our adoptable pets are updated regularly, but if you want to check the availability of a pet...
