We do have an older dog available at
this time.
This is a free adoption to the right home.
We have
found a wonderful home for Rosie. One of our families Mom's older dog,
passed away and she needed a helper on their farm. Rosie will be her
companion 24/7. You can't do any better than that. I knew one of my
families would come through. It was just a matter of hours. I would like
to take time to thank the folks that called so concerned for her and the
sweet lady in Mass. that was going to drive over and get her. (See
below the photos for another girl.)
This is Rosie, D-O-B 2/24/06, out of Sugar and Buckshot. She is
an exceptional little girl. I will give you an idea of her
background.
Her daddy Mike Seiberling passed away with Cancer last month.
She is in IL with family at this time. Her home had been in WI.
She was Mike's only heeler and at home pet. He lived in an
apartment for a time and then moved to a house. She has been
socialized with a large network of family and friends. Mike was
a very out going, happy go-lucky man. He was a nurse and had a
true spirit of gentleness and caring for others.
Mike's brother and sister-in-law have Rosie at this time.
They are in their seventies, still farm, but want to travel.
They have their own little brood of small dogs. Rosie does fine
with the other pets. She does fine with all people she has met.
She did not live in a home with children or cats. From what I
have heard of her though, she seems to be well socialized around
all people of all ages and has not shown aggression toward cats.
The cat issue is an open window. If she has not lived with a
cat, she might not care for one now once she has settled in.
(Indoor cats.) Who knows. Why put her or your if you are a cat
person through that. I only want a home that will work out. No
trials if possible.
She is housebroken, spayed and her shots are current. She has
been a well loved and well cared for little girl. We want to
thank Mike's family for taking such good care of her in
this transition of life for them as well as her. Mike is a man
that will be greatly missed by his family and of course Rosie as
well. She needs a family that will take time with her and allow
her to settle in. A month has passed and from what I have heard,
my thoughts are, I believe she would be more than willing to
settle in with "her" person at this time. She has been grieving
and is lonely for "her" companion.
Rosie made the transition fine into their home. She was not a
regular visitor to their home and has done well with them and
their pets. They have described her as a "good little dog" and
"a sweet little dog". After a month, the family does not see bad
habits or bad behavior. In the beginning it was more confusion
and grief.
As I stated earlier, I really do not want to start out with
someone that wants to "see if it works out." I do not do that
with my pups. Mike left specific instructions for the family to
contact me and to their credit they have taken much time to see
she is well cared for. I will be the contact person with Rosie.
I am open to a family, yet I think she would be exceptional for
that single person to dote on her and for her to dote on them.
This is a free adoption as all of my older dogs are. Free to
find a right home, not free as in, we can't afford one, shots,
etc.
I have re-homed five of my pups since the 90's. Each has been
a perfect match. That is what we want for Rosie. Not many
heelers of this age come along like Rosie. She should not have a
hard time finding the right home. My contact info is listed on
our Home page. Right now, a phone call would be the best.
870-231-5216. Our computer has been down. For those of you that
follow my pups, please include her in your thoughts and prayers
for the right home. I will keep you all posted.
We
may have another sweet little red girl in a month or so. Her mom has two
of ours and has been very ill. She may need to place the younger of the
two. A red girl as well, around the age of two, spayed and
housebroken. Her precious mama, Jessica has been one of our
families five to six years. (There is a pic in our album of the two red
kids sleeping together.) Jessica wants to keep her babies. She is in
line for a transplant. Please keep her in your prayers for a healthy
life and for her to keep both of her girls. She is a young single woman
with a long life to live.
Also, I am retiring Belle. I may
be adopting her out. I am just not sure yet. The last time I thought of
this it took me a year to decide. But, I would be open to the right
home, maybe. She is an outside dog and a tank. She is not Ms. Grace. She
is a plopper when ready to lay down. She will chase cats. She is like a
squirrel dog. Nothing like a treed cat. But, again I am just thinking
right now. Uggghhh, it hurt writing about her. She will do very well for
someone one on one. She makes me feel very special.
