2. Daisy
Senior (11 years 5 months) · Female · Pug / Chihuahua / Mixed (short coat) · 34 mi from New Middletown




Two weeks of good foster care, and Daisy is improving big time. Gaining weight, hair is coming in nicely. Even her back legs are working better. Thank you Rose's Rescue for helping me to feel better!!
As always, Rose's Rescue is open to foster to adopt or permanent adoption of our animals
Hello world, my name is Daisy and I am a senior pug-chihuahua mix found stuck in a drainage pipe. If I could, I would tell you what happened to me, but I cannot. My rescuers say that someone had to place me in there as there was no other way I could have gotten in there. I am putting that all behind me now and moving forward.
I am 10-12 years old, weighing in at about 15lbs. My coat is a mess because of fleas, but things are much better now. I do have compressed discs in my spine, so my hind legs don't work as well as they should,
Still I am quite mobile and love to walk, investigate everything, nap, and of course eat! I am a loving and fun girl in need of a loving quiet home where I can lay in your lap for my final years.
They say my teeth are really bad and I am not spayed, whatever that is. Dental and spay are scheduled. I am looking forward to better teeth.
If you think you are the one that can give me the love and lap I need after such a traumatic experience, please fill out an online adoption application. I promise I will try to be a very good girl for you!

3. Dolly
Adult (5 years 1 month) · Female · Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed (short coat) · 34 mi from New Middletown






Dolly here. I'm a 5yr old sweet pit mix girl. I am a small pocket pit of 35 pounds. Everyone says how cute I am. I was living on the streets, eating out of a dumpster when some kind people took me in. I was very thin. You could see all of my ribs! They gave me baths, fed me, and found me a place with Rose's Rescue. My foster mom thinks I had a home at some point, because I took to living in the house quickly. She doesn't know how I ended up on the streets, because I'm such a nice girl. I can't tell her all that I've been through. I'd rather forget all that and look forward to my new life. I wake up every morning ready for a new adventure. I can turn anything into a game. My favorite game now is to grab the tarp my people use to rake leaves and drag it all over the yard. My foster mom says I may have a little too much exuberance but can you ever have too much of that? I don't think so. I also love to chase the basketball. One of these days, I'm going to get it all in my mouth! I love to be with my people. I follow my foster mom all around. When she sits down, I'm right next to her or preferably in her lap. I don't like being alone, so would prefer a home where my people were gone for only 4 hours at a time. I have a little insecurity, after being dumped. My foster mom says no young children under 10 please, because I get very excited around food. I will steal their cookies. I was half starved. I also get excited to see my people and jump up. We are working on that. I get along with the three other dogs in my foster home but sometimes I play kind of rough. I sound really growly, but as long as your dog understands that, it's just how I play. I'm a very smart girl who learns quickly. I'm housebroken and ready to learn more. I'm looking for a home of my own and a lap I can lay my head on. If you're looking for a loving companion to be your best friend, please give me a chance!

4. Bobby
Adult (3 years 1 month) · Male · Patterdale Terrier (Fell Terrier) / Poodle (Miniature) / Mixed (long coat) · 34 mi from New Middletown










Our
Bobby was found on the street, so matted that he had to be shaved to the skin, but also so emaciated, so weak, so starved, he could barely lift his head. He looked more like a carcass than a dog. His body scale score was a one. Usually when it’s that low, a dog’s organs start shutting down and they don’t survive. But not Bobby! He spent a week and a half at the vet, and he came to Rose’s Rescue the day he was released from their care.
Read more about Bobby
To say he’s made a remarkable recovery is an understatement! He gained weight steadily and before long, you could no longer see his ribs. His hair is coming back in so what once was bare skin is now covered with beautiful black fur.
Now Bobby is ready for new and much better adventures! He’s ready to chase balls and snuggle and soak up all the neck rubs he can get. He’s ready to patrol the years and keep it free from pesky critters. He’s ready to go for car rides and play with all the toys, and get as many treats as he can. He is ready to live his best life and will do so with gusto!
Bobby LOVES other dogs! He would love, love, love to have another canine pal (or more) to romp with. But be warned, he can already be high energy and very playful. If he teams up with another rascally pooch, it could mean crazy, over-the-top playtime!
Bobby is a crate-trained, and sleeps in a crate at night (in view of his foster mom’s bed) and is content in his crate while she is away.
What breed is Bobby? He very much looks like a Patterdale Terrier (rough/broken coat) in every way - size, body shape, ears, and even the unusual length of his tail. What’s more, he ACTS like that terrier breed 100%. But, that is not a breed that’s known to be found in this area, so with that in mind, it’s just a guess and frankly, we
have no idea what he is. In his picture from before he was shaved, he looked like a poodle, but his hair was so matted it was hard to say. His hair, so far, isn’t coming in curly but it’s too early to see that for sure. Maybe some schnauzer? For sure a lot of terrier in there, too, as that absolutely fits his personality.
If you are interested in adopting our miracle boy Bobby, go ahead and fill out our online application and we will see if you are a good match!

5. Agar
Adult (2 years 3 months) · Male · Rottweiler (short coat) · 34 mi from New Middletown







I'm Agar a big handsome baby of a Block Head Rott, that is 2 and weighs in at 100 pounds. I should need about 10 more lbs, to get to my full weight. I have had a neglected 2 years. I was basically used to make puppies and kept outside. The person had a lot of dogs and sold me to a couple. I was covered in fleas and had lost some of my fur. The second couple kept me outside too. Now I am at the rescue, which I am thankful for. They gave me a good flea med and they died quickly. Then I had a medicated bath. Oh how good that felt. I have been neutered and vetted. I am in a big barn with my own couch and radio.
Read more about Agar
There is a door I can go outside into a kennel area. Then I get walks daily in a huge yard, for big me . I am very strong and need to learn to walk on a leash. I need overall training, because I have had none. I am too much, for the 70 year old lady I am with. A Rott lover that understands my breed, would be best to help me. A man would be great. I would love to hang out with the fellas in a barn or garage. I need a strong foster or adopter. I still think I'm a 10 pound puppy. I haven't really had a chance to bond to a person. If I could, I would be your best fan. I look forward to being in a home with someone to love me. It gets lonely out here. I don't expect much. I like being inside away from pesky bugs,but I do need a fenced yard to stretch my big body in. I am medium energy and entertain myself. I do love toys and balls. If you consider fostering me, you can start me in the right direction and get me ready for adoption, or keep yourself. What do you think, I will be your best bud. I'm ready to learn.

Adult (5 years 2 months) · Female · Terrier / Mixed (medium coat) · 34 mi from New Middletown










CAN YOU PUT A SMILE ON MS FREYA'S FACE!Freya here! One ear up and one ear down, I am a scruffy little terrier girl. Life has not been good to me in my 5 years, but things are looking up. I came to the rescue very very thin and anemic from flea infestation. I lost a lot of my beautiful blond hair across my back and tail but it is growing back now that I have good food, baths and a clean bed to sleep in at my foster home.
I was spayed on October 1st and came through that with flying colors. I'm caught up on my vaccinations and have finished my antibiotics for lyme disease disease. I have gained 4 lbs. since my rescue and am looking good.

There is a kitty here and a rabbit and a horse and a donkey. No problem with them and I would be fine with another dog as long as they mind their own beeswax!
I will be shy at first and it will take me a few days to warm up to you. Soon you will see a little tail wag from me and then we will be friends.
I'm looking for someone who wants to give a girl a low key home, would that be you?

Hi my name is Trixie. I am a blue healer even though most of me is black. I have cute black and white healer markings on my feeet and chest and and face. I was found as a stray and no one came to claim me. I just don't understand why! I am a good girl! I am around 6 years old and weigh in at about 38 lbs, so not too big.
I know lots of things, sit, sit on button, stay, give me paw and when my mom give me more commands, I will show her what I got! I am even housebroken and crate trained. My foster mom gave me a bath and trimmed my nails. I am so shiny and soft. I really am low maintenance.
Read more about Trixie
I love to chase balls and fetch my stuffed toys. I am a velcro dog and follow my foster mom around the house, but once she is sitting, I am more than ready to relax. I am good with other dogs, but not cats, I love the chase too much. I prefer older children because I get excited when there are treats. My mom is teaching me being gentle is a good thing. I am looking for a family of my own that loves cuddle time and play time.
I did test positive for Lyme Disease and will be done with my antibiotics on September 28th. Dang nasty ticks!

15. Adrian
Young · Male · Chihuahua / Mixed · 47 mi from New Middletown


Meet Adrian! ❤️
Adrian is a sweet, sensitive little guy who is still learning that the world isn't such a scary place! He's naturally shy and cautious, especially in unfamiliar situations or around new people, but underneath that timid exterior is an incredibly loving and affectionate pup.
Adrian may need a little extra time to warm up, but once he starts to feel safe, his cuddly side really shines! He loves being close to the people he trusts and is happiest when he can curl up beside someone for a little reassurance and affection.

16. Mae
Young · Female · Chihuahua / Jack Russell Terrier / Mixed (short coat) · 47 mi from New Middletown


Meet Mae!
Mae is an adorable 1–2-year-old, 18 lb terrier mix with a sweet personality and plenty of puppy energy! She's fully grown at 18 lbs, but she's still very much a puppy at heart.
Mae can be a little shy when meeting new people, but she's made tremendous progress in a very short time! She's a gentle, submissive girl who gets along wonderfully with other dogs of all sizes. She's also great with older, respectful children.
Read more about Mae
Mae is crate trained and does very well in her crate, especially when she has a bully stick to keep her occupied! She also walks nicely on a leash and shows absolutely no reactivity toward other dogs or people she passes. She does get a little excited and pull on occasion, but she's working on her leash manners!
Her potty training is still a work in progress. She's excellent about holding it while in her crate and prefers to do her business outside on walks. However, she does need to be taken outside promptly after coming out of her crate to avoid accidents. With a consistent routine, we think she'll continue making great progress!
Because Mae still has plenty of puppy energy and curiosity, she does best when crated during times when she can't be actively supervised. Fortunately, she's quite content in her crate as long as she has something tasty to chew on!
Mae is wonderful with other dogs, but cats are a bit of a different story. While she can coexist with them, she does occasionally give chase. For this reason, we wouldn't recommend her for a home with cats unless they're exceptionally confident and completely unfazed by dogs.
Mae is already spayed, microchipped, and up to date on all core vaccinations, so she's ready to find her forever home!
Mae is a sweet, playful little girl who has already come such a long way in a short time. With a little patience, consistency, and plenty of love, we think she'll make a wonderful companion for a family willing to help her continue learning and growing! ❤️

17. Moe
Young · Male · Chihuahua / Brussels Griffon / Mixed (short coat) · 47 mi from New Middletown





Meet Moe!
This handsome little guy is about 2–3 years old, and is basically 11 lbs of pure cuddles!
Moe is a very typical Chihuahua in the best possible way: he is an absolute cuddle bug who wants to be attached to his person at all times. He can be abit shy and standoffish at first, but once he warms up he is a complete velcro pup!
What’s a little unusual about Moe is that he seems to have a soft spot for the guys! Don’t worry, he’s no he-man woman hater. He loves the ladies too! But if there’s a dad in the house looking for a tiny best friend, Moe would strongly appreciate his application.
Read more about Moe
Moe is neutered, walks nicely on a leash, and happily does his business outside while on walks. He does have a tendency to mark indoors, so he currently wears a belly band while we continue working on getting him fully housetrained.
He gets along well with other dogs around his size and is pretty neutral when it comes to cats. Mostly, Moe just wants a cozy lap, plenty of affection, and a person he can follow around like a tiny four-legged shadow.
Moe is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on all of his core vaccines. Now all he needs is a family to call his own!

Senior · Female · Chihuahua (short coat) · 47 mi from New Middletown



Meet Dot!
Calling all Chihuahua lovers! This sweet senior girl is the quintessential Chi: slightly spicy, mostly sweet, and a total cuddle bug. ️❤️
Dot is the ultimate lap dog. She’s a laid-back little lady whose favorite pastime is napping, preferably on top of her person. Work from home? Perfect! Dot would be more than happy to keep your lap warm for the entire workday.
Read more about Dot
Dot is about 10 lbs, although she’s a little on the fluffy side and could probably stand to lose a pound or two. Luckily, she loves going for walks and does fantastic on leash! In fact, she may be the first non-leash-reactive Chihuahua we’ve ever met. She happily strolls along and ignores dogs passing by.
Dot is pad trained and mostly house trained, though she could use a little more guidance with the latter. She does great with dogs around her own size, although, in true Chihuahua fashion, she can get a little jealous when it comes to sharing her favorite person. She’s also neutral around cats.
If you’re looking for a tiny, low-key companion who takes her lap-warming duties very seriously, Dot might just be your girl.

Adopting a dog in New Middletown
Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the dog, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your dog in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.
Senior dogs are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate dog, ask the rescues about their older residents.
Puppies go quickly, so if you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon. Ask how big they're expected to grow, and plan for plenty of house-training and training in the first few months.
