Rosie

❤️🐾 Meet Rosie – the mummy behind our Sweet Treat babies! 🐾❤️ Recently, you’ve met our gorgeous litter of Sweet Treat puppies, but today it’s time to shine a little light on their wonderful mummy, Rosie. 🥹💕 Rosie was one of 60 dogs living in a breeding establishment. Her world was incredibly small, with very little hands-on contact with people and almost no socialisation beyond the company of other dogs. Understandably, Rosie is a nervous girl who finds humans a little scary. But something beautiful has happened during her time with us. While caring for her puppies in our puppy unit, she’s started to discover that affection and attention can be lovely things, too. ❤️ She’s been an absolutely wonderful mummy, giving everything she has to her babies. Now, as they begin their own journeys, it’s finally Rosie’s turn to be someone’s baby. Rosie is crate trained, and her crate is currently her safe space. It’s somewhere she can retreat to when the world feels a little overwhelming, so maintaining that familiarity and sense of security in her new home will be incredibly important. 🐕 Another dog is absolutely VITAL for Rosie. She thrives in the company of other dogs, drawing comfort and confidence from them in a way she simply cannot yet do with people. We will not consider a home without another dog for her. 🏡 What does Rosie need? ❤️ A very quiet, settled home. 🐾 A friendly resident dog to help her feel safe. 🌳 A super-secure outdoor space. 🤗 Someone with time, patience and understanding who will allow her to progress at her own pace. 👨‍👩‍👧 A home with children aged 16 and over, where her need for space and calm can be respected. Rosie isn’t going to be the dog who runs straight into your arms on day one. She may need time to trust you, and there will be moments when she needs to retreat to her safe space. But look at what she’s already achieved. A girl who once knew so little human kindness has begun to discover the joy of a gentle touch and a little affection. We need someone who understands that progress isn’t always measured in leaps and bounds. Sometimes it’s a wagging tail, choosing to sit a little closer, or simply feeling safe enough to sleep peacefully. Rosie has spent her life giving to others. Now we want someone to give something back to her. A safe home, a doggy friend, and the chance to discover that life can be about so much more than surviving. 💗 Could you be the patient, understanding person who helps Rosie blossom? 📩 Please get in touch with Almost Home Animal Rescue NI if you can offer this special girl the very special girl
