Story

NOT 1 APPLICATION... How? Please share to help Joe. Someone wneeds to give him a chance. They will see this loving, goofy boy who is just scared to be hurt again. Imagine being Joe... Once in a home then the next minute in a highly rural shelter. Then almost a year later, yes a year, you are still in foster care!! Unfortunately a few foster homes since no one ever plans on fostering for that long...so you go where you are asked to go. Not 1 application. Not 1 click on petfinder. Still searching for love & his human A YEAR LATER. at the photos!!!!! Joe is who he is. He would rather sunbathe for hours and tan his golden skin than do any type of crazy leash activity, like walking!! Joe is just that dog who is amazing in a house, and one with a backyard. He's just unsure of the world when he goes outside (and in a way we can't blame him). He's a homebody. He's good with dogs. He will flinch if you pet him sometimes. He is who he is which is a big cuddle bear with a tongue that hangs out every chance it can. He's crate trained. He just is leash reactive but with a patient home, that could change. Who is a good match? - A retiree - A stay at home couple - A person who needs a companion to be home with - A home with a fenced in yard Apply to adopt rosierescue.org

Lilly Mae

Cane Corso

Female, Adult

Mount Pleasant, SC

Size

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

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

This puppy like 1-year-old girl was spared a horrific ending to her short life when a heroic person stepped up to drive to Columbia Animal Services and saved her life, 30 minutes before she would have been out down. Lilly Mae: Living with cats and other dogs (wants to ply with the cat) and loves them Living with kids all ages Smart and wants to please Is fearful at first but warms up very quick Needs to work on her jumpy / mouthy behaviors but again is more puppy like than anything Will follow you around the house and be your bestest side kick When it is time to go in her crate, she does so happily, and doesn't mind being in there. She absolutely loves to snuggle, when we sleep, she wants to lay her head right on my chest and be next to me. Lilly is definitely all puppy and a giant one at that. She definitely needs some obedience training. She has absolutely no spatial awareness and she just doesn't understand her size and strength. She barks at people or pretty much anything but settles down pretty quickly due to being fearful. She needs to know it's OK. She's very deep bark, and it sounds very vicious, but it truly isn't. Basic command reinforcement will be needed

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

STUD ALERT Please share!! 2-years-old 18lbs Huck is very playful & loves to snuggle. His favorite past time is chewing the feet off squeaky raccoons but he doesn't chew anything that isn't his! He prefers the ladies of the house more and is fine with cats. He is very food driven which makes training easy but he has good manners. He's house broken & good on a leash. He has a bit of stranger danger so would do well in a home wheres there's consistency and not a lot of new commotion. Huck is fully vetted. He currently needs a foster or adopter as the home he in isn't working out due to them having kids. Ready to adopt or foster? rosierescue.org

Story

Ryan Who needs a cheerleader in their life? Someone who is happy to see you all the time? Someone to remind you that you are the best? Someone who has fun doing anything at all, as long as it's with you? Someone to get you off the sofa and encourage you to go for a walk or play frisbee or fetch? Ryan would be the perfect match! He will love you with all that he's got and his enthusiasm is contagious. And what about those hugs! Ryan was eager to meet any dog we brought to him, and was especially funny meeting our large Catahoula mix, Rudy, who is about 70 lbs. He was not sure about Ryan, who hopped over to meet him a bit quickly. He let out a few deep woofs... Ryan slowed his eager self down just a bit, and he and Rudy became fast friends. Being a perfect little size of 33 lbs, a striking coat with black, brown and white, this little guy is a real gem who would make a great addition to any family. His leash skills need some improvement but this happy, snuggly, kissy boy was just so happy to be out of his kennel. Ryan is 1-years-old and fully vetted. Please reach out to info@rosierescue.org with any questions!
