In the shelter’s words

*This animal is a part of our “Seniors for Seniors” program where we offer senior adopters an opportunity to adopt an eligible pet at a discounted fee.* Hi, I’m Rosette—though my foster calls me Rosie—and I’m a beautiful senior girl with a soft heart to match. I’m sweet, gentle, quiet, and very easy to have around. I enjoy the company of my foster’s three senior beagles, but I also appreciate my own peaceful downtime when I need it. I’m a good little follower and happily tag along with the other dogs when it’s time to go potty, even in this cold weather. I haven’t shown much interest in toys yet, but I do know what I like when it comes to comfort. At night, I sleep on the bed with an open-door crate nearby, and I seem to prefer the cozy bed life. I’m still settling in and figuring out my routine. I came in eating canned food only, but my foster is transitioning me to kibble with chicken, which is going much better for me. My walking skills are still a bit of an unknown since I came from a handicapped household, but with patience and kindness, I’ll let you know what I’m comfortable with. I think I could be very happy as an only dog, soaking up love in a calm, quiet home—or with gentle senior companions like myself. If you’re looking for a peaceful, loving presence to share your days, I might just be your girl. Adopting a senior dog is like getting a vintage car – it comes with character, a few extra quirks, and might need a bit more maintenance. Expect occasional tune ups at the vet for oil changes (aka meds), and embrace the fact that those 'normal lumps and bumps' are just part of the well-earned charm package! Ruff Start will share all known health information with adopters and rec ommendations to keep your senior dog in top shape. Rosette (Rosie) is from an owner surrender. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application. An adoption application is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is not a binding contract. To learn more about Ruff Start’s adoption process and the care our foster animals receive, please visit our How to Adopt page. If you are unable to adopt but want to help this animal and others in our care, you can donate to support the medical and veterinary needs of all Ruff Start Rescue animals.
