Rosie's story
Hello everyone, Im beautiful, sweet Rosie, and Im looking for a soft place to land in a loving home. Im 5 years young and weight just 53 pounds.   Let me share a bit of background so you can understand more about me.  Last fall I came to Great Plains because I had been abandoned in my home, left to fend for myself when my owners moved on.  It certainly was a trying time for me, but luckily I was brought to Great Plains where Ive received a lot of love and care.   I was extremely shy and fearful when I first came in.  Im sure no one blamed me for my fearfulness.  I just didnt trust what was happening.  I know that it is hard for me to recover from situations that make me uncomfortable.  I can get startled sometimes, and then I need a bit of time to relax again.  I experienced a lot of "stranger danger" worries, and I was just stressed by all the commotion and overstimulation that the shelter brings into a dogs life. I was lucky enough to go on an overnight furlough with a friend.  She had a dog, and after we warmed to each other, I spent 4 hours playing and jumping and having the best night of my entire life!  I am housebroken, and I can alert you to when I need to go outside.  Ive moved on from being that totally shy and fearful girl who lacked trust.  I gained more confidence in myself as the staff and volunteers worked with me.  I even started learning agility!  I love doing the ramp and tunnel, plus I learned sit, shake, down and even rollover.  Im quite a good little car rider, too.  I was recently adopted out to a loving home, but it just wasnt the right fit for me.  My family had kids and lots and lots of activity.  Im just not wired for that kind of home.  A true forever home is what I long for though.  A home where I am a cherished member of the family would mean so much to me.  The thing is, Im going to need plenty of patience and time to warm up.  Im sure you can understand that my life experience has left me very unsure.  I long to trust and when I know you and do so, Im a very sweet girl.  With my timid nature a calmer and quieter home is a place that would be perfect for me.  Kids 16 and up only because little ones are too rambunctious and scary for me.  Love, understanding and a human to help me gain confidence will be the pefect situation for me.   I want a place to hang my hat, a place that is safe and warm and loving.  I guess I want a place to call home.   Do you think we could be the perfect match?  If you have the right environment for me, please come meet me.  Love, Rosie
