Stacie

My name is Stacie. I need a mom that has it going on! Will you be that mom (or Dad?)

It happened on a winter night in late December, not in ’63, but in 2025. I was in a shelter in Maryland and SSRR wanted to save me. No other rescue saw me as a diamond in the rough. Why am I that diamond in the rough you ask? Well, let me tell you …I am deaf. There, my secret is out. I wasn’t necessarily born deaf. The Vet thinks I had a little touch of distemper when I was a puppy and that may have caused me to lose my hearing. However, my deafness doesn’t hamper me in the least bit! I hope you do not see that as a disability, because I don’t. On with the story….

So, this foster lady said if I could get to Florida, she would take me. SSRR swooped in, took me out of the shelter, and a chariot of transporters caravaned me to Florida! I arrived in the dark of the night…10:00 PM. What can I say? I’m mellow dramatic. I didn’t know what was going on and I was scared. The only thing that I had going for me was I am house trained. Oh, and I loved to eat and still do! I was just what my foster Mom needed as she thrives on dogs like me. So, she set to work. At first, I was shy about being petted on my head, but now I see that as an awesome thing! I love to give licks and kisses with my big old tongue. At 92 pounds, I’m a voluptuous girl and I think my foster Mom says I have big old bear paws. At least if I understood English, that is what she would say.

I have also learned that toys are fun to play with and I love tug of war! My foster mom owns a pet boarding place, and I go to work with her every day. I am with her pretty much 24/7, so we are besties. At least I think so. I just don’t understand this closed bathroom door and privacy bit. However, no Rottie does. I also like other dogs, especially the ones who are my size. I need to learn to be a little more delicate around smaller dogs. And if there is another dog in my furever home, I would prefer an easy-going pooch. I cannot hear warning growls, so if I am doing something to annoy another dog, I don’t know to stop doing what I was doing. My biggest drawback is I do pull on the leash but I can’t understand why it’s so important to walk a straight line. However, if my new furever Mom or Dad would work with me on that, I can be a master and walk the line! My foster mom thinks I am perfect and she would love to keep me, but her other bozo Rottie prefers to be the only dog in the house. So, SSRR is trying to find me a new furever home where I could stay. I should get to work on that idea! Or better yet… could you be my furever family?
