Rosie

Welcome to Camp Cocker Rescue, beautiful Rosie! This poor girl has been through a lot of stress over the past few months. She entered a shelter in Hesperia, CA, and was adopted by a member of the general public. The shelter gave the new owners thirty days to bring her back for a spay surgery. This didn’t get done, and she was pregnant; she gave birth to puppies four weeks ago.

Rosie was brought back to the shelter; the owners claimed that all of her puppies “found homes,” and legally, animal control cannot do anything. The owners said Rosie was “aggressive” to a twelve-year-old child, and it could have been that she was protecting her puppies.

We plan to adopt Rosie to a loving, caring, adult-only home and prepare any future adopters to go slow with her introductions to strangers. Right now, Rosie is presenting herself as nervous/skittish with strangers. After a calm approach, sitting quietly on the ground, and letting her sniff and decide when she is ready to be pet, she is already seeking human interaction.

Rosie is simply a dog that will need to give her consent before interacting with strangers. Dog-savvy adopters will need to meet her where she is and not rush her into any interactions until she signals she is ready.

Rosie is very smart, knowing to sit when the treat bag comes out, and will enjoy a home that likes to play fetch! She likes being near people on the couch, but also relaxes on her own in her doggie bed.
