Update 12/4/23:  Update on 12/02/2023 - I'm coming around! It's been hard for me to learn to trust people, but I know my foster mom is a good human so I give her lots of kisses and even have started to wag my tail for special occasions like when the alarm goes off in the mornings. I get real excited for breakfast, and when she picks me up to go hang out in the living room she can feel my tail hitting her side. When it's just her and I, I like to get some zoomies out for a little bit then I jump up on the couch and go in for some more of my famous kisses. Since I only trust my foster mom, I've found my voice and have started to growl at her roommate and strangers in the last few weeks but I do like treats so I seem to adjust to them being around after they fork some of those tasty morsels over. If I'm caught off guard I will bark and growl - all of this is just so new to me, and I get scared easily, so this will get better with time. I use the potty pads when in the bathroom pretty much every time, but if they are wet I'll poop on the floor right next to it... I'm a little bit of a prissy paws kinda gal I suppose. When my foster mom put a potty pad in her room for me I went on the floor instead so I'll need some work on this. I've been outside a few times since getting here and I'm very scared of all the noises so it's not something we do often. Adding me to your family will be awesome but extra patience will be needed. I've only been with my foster mom for a month and I'm opening up a little but it will take me awhile to fully trust that those bad humans aren't in my life anymore.

Rosie is my name and sweetness is my game! I even smell like roses thanks to some doggy perfume. My foster mom says I was stinky after my spa day last week which I didn't even get to enjoy because I somehow fell into a very very deep sleep right after getting there and didn't wake up until it was time to leave… So weird! They did have to shave off my luscious fur before my foster mom picked me up as I had a lot of mats. I still have some scabs that are healing because of it. I am a Bichon (born 1/9/22) which means I will be super pretty once it grows back! I am the perfect size for cuddling at 14 pounds. I am a super sweet girl who will attach myself to you and never let go - like seriously, do not put me down like ever please and thank you! I'm still really nervous since all I've known in my short life has been a cage and raising precious floofer nuggets for profits. I shake any time there's sudden movements, loud noises or I am picked up and brought to a new place – even if I've been to that spot before I still shake for about 5 minutes before I'm able to settle down, sometimes only a couple minutes in other places I've been in more often.  You can tell I've raised a lot of babies because I groom every animal and human I come into contact with. It takes me a day or so to get used to you first. I don't know how to be a dog. My foster mom has barely even seen me walk because I am so scared, so my new family is going to need to have a lot of patience and understanding as this journey to freedom is going to be a long one. I don't have a mean bone in my body. I've been nothing but gentle and low key since starting this new life. I don't mind dogs of all sizes but I really like kitties because they cuddle me and make me feel safe quicker. Having a companion animal in my new home that can show me the way would be really awesome! Last night I even had a cat sleeping in what my foster mom calls the cone of death - he was snuggled right up against my face and it was really nice. The other kitty was keeping my butt nice and warm for me too. I really like her, she's the smallest of the kitties so I treat her like my own baby. I've been outside a couple times since getting here and I did not like it so my foster mom has the bathroom set up for me with potty pads and nice soft blankets to sleep on. Most of the time I do my business on the pad like a good little girl. I'm mostly quiet in the bathroom. Sometimes I whine and bark and paw at the door when I'm missing my foster mom but it doesn't last long at all. I did start off in a wire crate when I first got here but I am a Houdini of sorts and managed to escape multiple times. I will never tell my foster mom how I did it either, no good magician shares their secrets! I haven't figured out how to get out of a plastic crate just yet though, but my foster mom doesn't like scaring me half to death when it's time to come out of it so the bathroom is easier right now while I'm still adjusting.  I'm overall a really quiet girl that just wants to cuddle up and get pets, and I'd really like to meet you! I can show you how rewarding it can be, to love a dog like me, one who needs some extra TLC, before I'll show you the real Rosie - apparently I'm a poet as well! Come on by and give me a chance to melt that heart of yours!

P.S. I'm nothing like the Rosie who hogged the entire door that one frigid night in 1912! I would totally share not only a door but a bed, and a pillow, and a blanket, and a couch, and a chair, and a reclining chair, and even my food – I am like the best Rosie there ever was! Remember how I said I will attach to you and never let go? Yeah… I meant that.
