Notes from Rose's Rescue
Dolly here. I'm a 5yr old sweet pit mix girl. I am a small pocket pit of 35 pounds. Everyone says how cute I am. I was living on the streets, eating out of a dumpster when some kind people took me in. I was very thin. You could see all of my ribs! They gave me baths, fed me, and found me a place with Rose's Rescue. My foster mom thinks I had a home at some point, because I took to living in the house quickly. She doesn't know how I ended up on the streets, because I'm such a nice girl. I can't tell her all that I've been through. I'd rather forget all that and look forward to my new life. I wake up every morning ready for a new adventure. I can turn anything into a game. My favorite game now is to grab the tarp my people use to rake leaves and drag it all over the yard. My foster mom says I may have a little too much exuberance but can you ever have too much of that? I don't think so. I also love to chase the basketball. One of these days, I'm going to get it all in my mouth! I love to be with my people. I follow my foster mom all around. When she sits down, I'm right next to her or preferably in her lap. I don't like being alone, so would prefer a home where my people were gone for only 4 hours at a time. I have a little insecurity, after being dumped. My foster mom says no young children under 10 please, because I get very excited around food. I will steal their cookies. I was half starved. I also get excited to see my people and jump up. We are working on that. I get along with the three other dogs in my foster home but sometimes I play kind of rough. I sound really growly, but as long as your dog understands that, it's just how I play. I'm a very smart girl who learns quickly. I'm housebroken and ready to learn more. I'm looking for a home of my own and a lap I can lay my head on. If you're looking for a loving companion to be your best friend, please give me a chance!
