We know many of you have been following Rosie’s story and we’d like to provide an update. Thank you to those who reached out offering to help her. We take the responsibility of caring for our dogs very seriously, including our dogs in sanctuary care. It’s not just about paying their bills for the rest of their lives. It’s about doing what is best for the dog(s). And so, after carefully reviewing all the possibilities, we have been able to find the best sanctuary foster for Rosie.
Rosie’s previous foster recognized signs that Rosie required more stimulation in her surroundings given her medical conditions, and brought this to our attention. Sometimes as medical issues and the aging process continue, different approaches for caring of our dogs is required…and that’s what we did for Rosie. Her new foster is very experienced with dogs who have medical issues. Stimulation can sometimes slow the progress of dementia and Rosie is now being provided with that necessary stimulation in her new home. And as Rosie is now blind, her foster has even purchased a halo for her that is allowing her to safely roam without bumping into things, while also helping her to build confidence. She appears to be thriving in her new surroundings and we are very grateful that Rosie has found a safe place to land for the rest of her life.
