This dog is a very smart dog. He loves to play fetch and loves to be by humans. S. I love Hank but it;s not fair for him to be home alone most of the time. I play lacrosee and have tournaments constantly and need someone to take Hank because it is unfair to him

Story
Sailor is a 2 year old Australian Cattle Dog mix (possibly Akita!) weighing around 50lbs. He recently came to us from a shelter in New Jersey. They picked him up as a stray running down the highway jumping over the medians to avoid capture! Sailor has been good with both male and female dogs, and is on the neutral side but likes to play when he gets comfortable. He’s young and has a high energy so he can get a bit overstimulated at times and would benefit from a calm but confident owner. He is crate trained and potty trained when kept on a consistent routine. He loves walks but needs some work on loose leash walking. Sailor is looking for a home WITHOUT cats as he is overly interested in playing with and herding them. Due to his size and energy we would not recommend him for a household with young children. Please note, Sailor is only available on a foster to adopt basis until after a few more vaccine updates. If you’re interested in fostering or adopting, please fill out an application at www.rosebudrescue.com/adopt *If you have previously submitted an application for another dog who is pending or has been adopted, you can email us with your full name and phone number and ask us to process your application for another dog or general pre-approval instead*

Story
Rowan is a sweet 16 week old Cattle Dog/Staffy mix. His adult weight is tough to estimate but we would think 40-60lbs full grown. He was saved from euthanasia by our rescue partner in KY and recently made his way to us along with his brother Reilly to search for their forever homes! They are currently living with cats and dogs of all sizes and love everyone and everything. They sleep in a crate through the night with no accidents and their potty training is coming along excellent! These pups would be the perfect addition to any household Please note, Rowan and Reilly are only available on a foster to adopt basis until their neuters. If you’re interested in fostering or adopting, please fill out an application at www.rosebudrescue.com/adopt *If you have previously submitted an application for another dog who is pending or has been adopted, you can email us with your full name and phone number and ask us to process your application for another dog or general pre-approval instead*

Axel

Australian Cattle Dog Border Collie

Male, 2 yrs 5 mos
West Falls, NY

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Story
Axel is a 1.5 year old Australian Cattle Dog/Border Collie mix weighing around 45lbs who never stops smiling! He was surrendered to us about a month ago after getting loose and killing the families chickens. Axel is dog friendly and will match another dogs energy well, but he does enjoy running and wrestling with other playful dogs. For obvious reasons, he will not be a candidate for a home with cats or other small animals. He can be apprehensive when meeting new people, but once he learns to trust you he will be your best friend! He’s just a big baby who hasn’t been exposed to much. Older respectful children should be fine but no kids under the age of 10 for this guy. Axel is crate trained, potty trained when kept on a consistent routine, and good on a leash but lacks confidence and needs more reassurance in new places. He is very smart and food motivated, and he’s going to make an excellent dog for someone patient who can give him a little guidance in life. If you’re interested in fostering or adopting Axel, please fill out an application at www.rosebudrescue.com/adopt or email us if you already have an application on file. Long distance adoptions considered at the adopters expense after a meet and greet in West Falls, NY. We DO NOT adopt outside of the United States.

Coraline

Australian Cattle Dog Australian Shepherd

Female, 2 yrs 11 mos
West Falls, NY
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Coraline is a 2 year old Australian Cattle Dog/Australian Shepherd mix weighing around 30lbs. She was surrendered to us about a month ago because she was no longer getting along with the other female dogs in the house. She is crate trained, potty trained when kept on a consistent routine, and walks great on a leash. In true Cattle Dog fashion, Coraline does bond strongly to her “people” and is pretty indifferent to anyone else. She will be nervous at first when integrating into a new household, but once she warms up she will be your best friend and stick to you like glue! Our foster to adopt program would be great for her as it would give a potential adopter a few weeks to see her true self come out once acclimated. Coraline is dog selective but could live with other male dogs who will respect her space. NO female dogs, cats, or kids under the age of 10. A fenced yard is not a requirement as she CANNOT be left alone in a yard unattended with a fence shorter than 8ft, however she is fine to be off leash in a shorter fenced area as long as she is monitored. If you’re interested in fostering or adopting Coraline, please fill out an application at www.rosebudrescue.com/adopt or email us if you already have an application on file.

American Staffordshire Terrier American Bulldog

Female, 4 yrs 7 mos

Story
Ophelia is a very special dog here at Rosebud Rescue and has been with us for over a year while we worked with her, and she is finally ready to find her perfect forever home. Ophelia is 100% deaf and because of this will ONLY be available on a foster-to-adopt basis for a minimum of 3 months to ensure it is the perfect fit. Ophelia is around 3.5 years old and just under 50lbs. She can be a tiny bit shy at first but will smother you in kisses in no time! She loves attention, toys, and playing with other dogs, but will mirror them and match their energy level. She is incredibly smart and knows several hand signals for training commands, and really loves it when you find ways to communicate with her! She is trained to report to you with the flash of a light, so recall from the yard or other side of the room is a breeze. She cannot live with cats or uncaged small animals due to her prey drive. She is crate trained but can be a bit vocal and would rather be confined to a room when left, though she doesn't have a tendency to get into things she shouldn't have. Ophelia has a history of getting overstimulated in new situations, which turned into anxious energy and an unfocused dog. She was recently started on generic Prozac and it has really helped to manage this. It is affordable and easy to administer, a potential adopter would need to keep her on this medication. While adventures outside of the house are still a work in progress, she has made a lot of improvement over the last 2 months or so! She does walk on a gentle leader, but is a VERY strong dog so someone who can handle her weight while out and about and continue working on loose leash walking is a must. We know little about Ophelia's past other than it appears she had many litters of puppies in her short life before she got to us. It is unknown if her missing ear was due to an injury or a failed crop job. She will cower if you move too fast or pick up an object, leading us to believe she wasn't treated very well. She was passed around to a few different owners before she ended up with us after seeing a plea from a good samaritan who took her in but could not keep her long term after seeing her posted on Craigslist for rehoming, with the reason that they couldn't call her in from the yard! Ophelia is looking for a home without young children due to her size and energy level. NO CATS. A fully fenced yard is required, and she thrives in the company of dogs so there must be at least another resident dog in the home. If a very special adopter with no dogs is ready for 2, she has plenty of adoptable friends here as well! Ophelia is accepting applications and is currently available for meet and greets with approved adopters! If you’re interested in adopting her or getting pre-approved for our other dogs, please fill out the adoption application at www.RosebudRescue.com/adopt
