Rosie in North Wales, PA

Here is Rosie with her new family…

Rosie is a 5 year old female Tricolor Cavalier King Charles Spaniel that  came from a commercial breeder. She was released because she had a bad urinary tract infection (UTI) and bladder stone requiring surgery. She will need regular visits with a vet to make sure a stone or infection doesn’t reoccur. Her coat was missing fur because of mats that were removed but it is growing back nicely. After a few trims it’s looking better, healthier and more shiny. She was also underweight initially needed to be hand fed. Now that she is healthy, she is better at eating on her own. She is on an healthy diet which includes a cranberry urinary support chew and blueberry snack treats. A follow up urinalysis was clear of crystals with no other issues.

Rosie is very shy but has become a happy, outgoing, and friendly pup. She is very cautious around children initially barked at them. She has gotten used to the visits from the foster’s grandson but, given that she didn’t grow up with children, it would be good to introduce her slowly to them. 

She doesn’t like loud unexpected noises so a calm household is a must. She’s okay with fireworks, which are periodically set off in the park nearby. Also, she may require extra visits by a potential adopter to determine if she is good fit.

Rosie can’t wait for you to sit and will quickly come to you to climb into your lap and will happily snuggle. We have allowed her on our sofa and she has a set of steps to use.  If you’re cooking in the kitchen she’ll be right there in a snap. Of course she’s always looking for a treat!

Rosie is fine with other small dogs and mostly ignores them. She had not been with cats. We have parakeets and she is curious but shows no sign of aggression. She will try to chase squirrels and birds outside so she will always need to be leashed. Our home doesn’t have a fenced yard but she would probably enjoy it. She is currently leashed walked for potty breaks. 

She does not bark a lot but will alert to sounds outside and loves to watch TV. 

She prefers not to be left alone, but if given a treat and left in her playpen with background music, we are able to slip out the door for a quick appointment, etc. We also recommend a quiet home where her human is home most of the time.

Rosie doesn’t like vet visits but isn’t aggressive, and usually hides behind one of us. She has been spayed, had a dental cleaning with 13 teeth extracted, and also micro-chipped. She is up to date on all her immunizations, including bordetella, and weighs 20.5 pounds. She is negative for heartworms and takes a monthly heartworm medicine and topical flea and tick treatment. Ears are clean with no infections, but does have a mild heart arrhythmia. She quickly learned housebreaking and does well if kept on a schedule. Pacing is her cue to go out.
