Story
LOCATION: Houston, TXDOB: 06/21/2022Meet Becky Rose – a tall, dark, and goofy beauty with a striking black coat, a splash of white on her chest, and a personality that’s anything but ordinary. She’s smart, hilarious, loyal to a fault, and just a little bit extra—in all the best ways.Becky Rose is bilingual (yes, really—English and Spanish), potty trained, and has mastered the dog door like a pro. She’s not a fan of the crate, but she’s trained to go to her bed when told and is working on polite mealtime manners (she’ll sit and offer a paw for her food—unless she’s really hungry). And while she’ll lovingly let you wipe her butt after bathroom breaks, she draws the line at giving up her beloved giraffe stuffy—every other plush toy is fair game, though.This girl is clingy. Capital-C Clingy. When she wants attention, she makes it known, and she’s not taking no for an answer. But she’ll also fiercely love and protect her person in return. Once Becky bonds with you, she’s all in. She’s calm while being handled, even while eating, and doesn’t flinch at fireworks if she’s near someone she trusts.Energy-wise, Becky Rose is somewhere in the middle: she loves her zoomies, dramatic couch dives, and sprinting toy tosses—but she also knows how to settle. She’s famous for her weird couch maneuver where she backs her rear legs onto the seat and leaves her front paws on the ground, sitting like a total weirdo (and we love her for it).She gets along with other dogs and seems to enjoy their company—she gets sad when she can’t play. Cats? She’s seen them, didn’t care. Adults? Here’s where she needs a confident, experienced handler. Becky’s not afraid to tell you if she doesn’t vibe with someone. She’s barked, lunged, and even nipped when she felt unsure or threatened. This girl needs a home that understands dog behavior and will advocate for her. She’s not a dog-park dog or a meet-all-your-friends-right-away kind of companion. She needs structure, trust, and slow intros.Becky Rose would thrive in a home with space—both indoors and out—for her zoomies and wild toy tosses. A dog door is ideal. Block off your kitchen unless you want her helping herself to dinner. She’s not scared of stairs, and she’s surprisingly gentle during quiet moments. She just wants to be with her person, wherever that is.If you’re looking for a dog with big personality, big brains, big loyalty, and an even bigger heart—and you’ve got the experience and patience to help her feel safe—Becky Rose might just be your girl. She’s not for everyone, but for the right person, she’ll be everything.========================= To apply to adopt me, please fill out the application form! https://form.jotform.com/51994996709176 .Note: SRGDRR adopts nationwide and offers transport options to help you find your perfect match!
