Name: Rosy
Age: 1-2 years approx
Sex: Female
Breed: German Shepherd Dog/Labrador Retriever
Ref number: 112
Personality:
Rosy is a very sweet, clever and friendly girl who really enjoys playing ball, training and learning new things (especially if it involves food!). She loves spending time with her friends here at the Ark, having lots of cuddles and going on long walks. Rosy really is such a beautiful girl who has come an incredibly long way since arriving with us. From a fearful, skinny young girl she has blossomed into a curious and loving dog. She can still be a little worried at times or when in new environments.
Behaviour:
Rosy came to us through no fault of her own and has not had the best start in life. Due to this she can be a little worried about new people but makes friends very quickly. Rosy has had a very sheltered start so is quite under-social with other dogs. She is interested in other dogs – she has walks with some dogs here at the centre and has made nice friendships, but she will continue to need to be introduced to other dogs slowly. She loves her adventures with her Collie friend, Zorro, and they play very well together. Rosy has been in kennels for a while now and we are therefore looking for a family who can be around most of the day to begin with to help Rosy settle in, and who can give her time to adjust to home life. Ideally new adopters will have had a guarding breed dog before.
Housing:
Rosy is looking for a quiet home. She will need her own space in the home, e.g. a crate, with a private garden. She cannot be re-homed to the SO19 area.
Children/pets:
Rosy cannot be rehomed with other dogs as she is still learning all about other dogs and we think living together would be too much for her at this stage. Rosy cannot live with cats or small furries as she has a very high prey drive and will chase any cats or small animals given the chance. Rosy needs an adult only home.
Vet history:
She is fully vaccinated and up to date with flea and worm treatment. She has recently been neutered. Rosy is currently on long-term behaviour medication to help with her anxiety. We recommend she stays on this until she has fully settled in a home.
Additional information:
All rented and leasehold properties will require written consent from the property owner or agent. This needs to be in place before completing an application form. If your application is successful, staff will request a copy.
We reserve the right to remove a reserve at any stage of the adoption process if we believe it is in the best interest of the dog.
Adopters should consider that previous medical conditions will now not be covered by insurance. Adopters are responsible for the on-going medical costs once the animal has been adopted.
Due to the high number of applications we receive daily, regrettably we will only be able to contact the successful applicant.
