Rosey Little Bloom Marie - Chihuahua and Jack Russell Terrier Dog for Adoption in Friendswood, Texas

There was a time when Rosey's whole world was a tiny hidey hole on the streets. She knew how to survive, how to disappear when she needed to, and occasionally how to find a little companionship running alongside a pack of neighborhood dogs. What she didn't know yet was the soft stuff- couches, beds, leashes, car rides, toys, or what it feels like to belong somewhere. A lot of you actually watched the beginning of Rosey's story unfold on our social media. She came to us painfully thin, missing much of her fur and battling a serious infection in both eyes. She needed someone willing to meet her exactly where she was. Thankfully, that someone was waiting.

Go watch Rosey on YouTube, especially if you remember the little street dog from those first posts. Seeing her now, learning to play, settling into the couch and discovering that a bed is an excellent place to snuggle, is the very best part of her story. Her video lets you meet the Rosey who has been quietly blooming behind the scenes.

For the past month, Rosey has been fostered in a loving home with an impressive welcoming committee of seven small dogs and one large dog. She came in without any real experience living inside a home, walking on a leash or riding in a car. Instead of expecting her to know things she had never been taught, her foster gave her time, patience and a pack of dogs to show her the ropes. Rosey has absolutely risen to the occasion.

Every week seems to bring another little first. She is gaining confidence. She is learning how to play. She has discovered the couch and, perhaps more importantly, the bed. She snuggles. She watches the other dogs and learns from them. The girl who once made herself small enough to fit into a hiding place is slowly realizing she is allowed to take up space in a home.

Rosey is still a work in progress, and we think that is one of the loveliest things about her. She doesn't need someone expecting a perfectly finished dog. She needs someone who sees how far she has already come and feels excited about everything still ahead. Her progress in just one month has been remarkable, and with continued patience, encouragement and gentle exposure to this big new world, we believe she will keep surprising everyone.

There is something incredibly special about watching a dog experience ordinary life and realize it is good. A soft place to sleep. A dog friend inviting you to play. A person beside you on the couch. A warm bed at night. Rosey is learning that these things can be hers now, and we would love nothing more than for the next chapter of her story to be the one where she realizes they are hers forever.

https://g.co/kgs/UQ5Pyai We care deeply about creating lasting matches between dog and family for long term success, and take the time to ensure each adoption is a fit through our matchmaking process.

At our 2 acre Texas based property, we assess every animal with trainers on staff, we modify behavior as needed, and create individualized behavior plans to help prepare dogs for their future families including crate training, potty training, leash walking, etc. Our fosters are able to attend group training and socialization play groups helping them stay confident, well rounded, and adoption-ready. Our on-site trainers are dedicated to each dog's growth and we enjoy seeing their progress!

We go above and beyond to ensure every animal receives exceptional care. Veterinarians consistently praise our medical standards. From routine care to advanced treatments, each dog receives personalized attention. Hard costs for a healthy dog range from $804-$920; heartworm-positive dogs or those needing specialized care can exceed $2,000+. Adoption fees help cover a portion of these expenses, but without government funding, we rely on fundraising to bridge the gap - ranging from $100-$1,000+ per dog.

Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet.
