Rest in peace, beautiful girl.

Pretty Rosie has been in Freshfields Animal Rescue’s care since February 2007! Eight years in kennels is a very long time, especially for such a loving dog like Rosie.
However Rosie has many friends, including a very special family who take her for lots of lovely walks and even weekends away to escape the kennel environment. Here are some photos of Rosie during her adventures:
These photos show just what Rosie can be like away from the stress of kennel life. It’s hoped that by sharing these with you, you too can see just what a lovely dog Rosie is.
Rosie is a 12 year old Collie crossbreed and she does have so many qualities. She is extremely loving when she knows and trusts you. Sadly, Rosie does have some behavioural issues and requires a very special, experienced owner who can help her overcome her insecurities. One of Rosie’s main problems is that she is a very reactive dog; she becomes very upset when faced with unsettling situations, such as strangers approaching her, other dogs out on walks, joggers and bikes, etc. Rosie is also very fearful of loud noises and will often lay down and refuse to move on walks. This is usually helped by some gentle encouragement and tasty treats.
Rosie requires an adult-only home, preferably one without many visitors as she struggles to accept more than one person at any one time. Rosie also needs to be the only pet. Ideally, the rescue would like to rehome Rosie locally as anyone seriously interested in adopting her will need to spend a lot of time coming to the rescue to form a bond with her.
Not many people get to see the real Rosie, the sweet girl that everyone has grown to love so much. If there ever was a dog that was more deserving of a forever home, that dog would be Rosie.
