Rosie – 7-8 year old female English Cocker Spaniel

Rosie is a 7-8 year old female English Cocker Spaniel. She is being fostered in Kent in an adult home with other dogs and visiting dogs.

Rosie came into our care after being signed over by an animal rescue where she was tied up to their gate, we know nothing about her past.

Rosie was in such a state when she came in and so broken – she has had a hard life and suffered a lot of neglect.

Rosie has had no experience of this world and everything was terrifying we believe she has been kept in a cage as she has no muscle in her back end and was so weak, and skinny and her teeth are shocking.

So broken when her foster mum picked her up

Rosie finds life very scary – doors banging, traffic noise, even the wind – her toilet training is still a work in progress but she is getting there, her foster mum has to stay in the garden with her.

Going forward Rosie is the sweetest little soul you could meet, she has no malice in her and adores the other dogs, once she trusts you, she is a loving snuggle bunny if she does not know you, she freezes with fear (heartbreaking).

Rosie loves her food and has already gained 2 kilos. She surprisingly loves riding in the car and is a very good traveller. She is starting to take an interest in toys and we have even seen the odd zoomy.

Meeting new people

Loves her food

Getting used to walking on a lead

Rosie is a very special loving little dog who will need a very special family – she grows stronger every day and braver every day.

Rosie will need another gentle dog to guide her and help show her that life is good and humans are to be trusted – she will play too with other dogs. She is not walking miles and we are building her up. She will need an adult-only home which is not busy.

learning to play

loves her home comforts

Rosie will be spayed, vaccinated and have a dental before she leaves our care as well as being wormed/flea.
