Rose (Rosey) Nylabone is a sweet, timid five year old golden retriever (5/1/2017). She has spent her life in a barn as a puppy producer for a farmer and everything is new for Rose. She is learning to come when you call her and is shy but once she sees you as her person and you pet her, she will melt and tell you she wants more!
Rose loves being in the house now but needs a home that is calm and has some routine so she can learn to be a house dog. She has been great with her foster dog sister and the boys (11 and 13) at home. She would likely be fine with cats and younger kids, too. She definitely will flourish in a home with at least one other dog to keep teaching her how to just be a loved family pet.
Rose quickly learned to go potty outside and is learning to walk on a leash but she is a Houdini and needs a fenced in yard and a home that her people know to watch for her trying to escape, especially when she is scared of something.

It took some time for her to trust hands and laps, but she is now a loving, happy little lady and a very important part of our family. Believe it or not, she has inspired us to persevere through tough times. It may seem crazy that this fluffy little chihuahua taught us about strength and grit, but we learned that if this little dog could hang in there until she got a chance to live her best life, surely we can make it through a tough day or two.
