Available Dogs

December 8, 2022November 15, 2023

The adoption fee for all Roseys Rescue Dogs is $275 and that partially covers spay/neuter, vaccines, worming, microchip and heartworm treatment.

The fee is non-negotiable and we do NOT finance the fee to be paid in installments.

The adoption fee is due at the time of adoption and all potential adopters must complete an adoption application/contract and the application must be approved prior to the pup/dog going home with the potential adopters.

We do not “hold” any dogs/puppies for anyone for any reason such as waiting until you get paid or holding until it’s closer to Christmas.

(We are trying to save dogs from the shelter that are in danger of being euthanized due to lack of space and being over capacity.)

Roseys Rescue does not encourage people adopting a puppy for a Christmas present for their child/children. Dogs are not Christmas presents. They are living beings and a LIFETIME commitment, which can be up to 20 years. We do not adopt a puppy for a child/children. We only adopt to adults over the age of 21 and the adults are responsible for the care of the puppy and not the child/children.

ALL family members must be on board to adopt a puppy as well as approved by a landlord.

It is recommended that you complete the adoption application PRIOR to Saturday’s event and email to roseysweezers7@aol.com BEFORE Friday evening at 8 pm in order to insure that the application is approved before “falling in love” with any pups and to prevent any disappointment in the event the application cannot be approved because we are unable to check the references late Friday night or Saturday.

You can find the adoption application on our website : roseysrescue.com http://roseysrescue.com/

If you are unable to print out the application, complete and email before the adoption event on Saturday, we have hard copies at the event, but you may not be approved on site if we are unable to check references to be able to approve the adoption.

You can meet any of the available dogs at PAWS Resale Shoppe, 5941 Carolina Beach Road, Wilmington, NC 28409

The dogs will be at PAWS Resale Shoppe on Saturday’s as a general rule, but they can be brought for a meet and greet any day of the week during normal business hours.

To set up an appointment, email Rosey at roseysweezers7@aol.com

WOLFIE & CHACO

Wolfie & Chaco

Wolfie & Chaco are 5 year old German Shepherd/Lab/Husky mixed brothers.

This extremely bonded pair were surrendered to the shelter March 28th after their owner passed away. When they were at the shelter they were terrified & spent their time hiding in the dog house piled on top of each other. I knew these 2 would not be easy to find a home for but when I found out how scared they were I couldn’t leave them at the shelter. I brought them home & at first Chaco was distant & wouldn’t make eye contact, & Wolfie just stood there shaking, too scared to let me pet him. They didn’t respond to their names & while they were getting used to everything they were cautious &standoffish. After a few days of decompression & an established schedule, they opened up & while Wolfie was still a little hesitant, Chaco was ready to make friends with me!

Chaco is the Alpha of the 2 & can be protective of Wolfie, who is more submissive. He’s not protective in an aggressive way, but just constantly looks back for Wolfie if he loses sight of him. These boys are just about the sweetest 2 dogs you will ever meet & once they get to know you they are so predictable & easy to love. They are mostly low maintenance, but do get very excited when it’s time to be let out & eat. They are very obedient. These are some big boys, Chaco weighs 90 pounds & Wolfie weighs about 75 pounds, but don’t let their size intimidate you. They are some of the easiest fosters I have had here. They have been treated for the heartworms, are neutered, up to date on vaccines, wormed &microchipped. I was told when I picked them up that the staff at the shelter was told they lived outside, but I am not 100% sure about that. Since they have been with me they have demonstrated that they do not like to use the bathroom in their kennel & will “hold it” overnight until I let them out in the play yard in the morning while I clean their kennel & prepare their meals. As soon as I open their door they both make a mad dash for the grass in the play yard, use the bathroom & then come to me to be fed their canned food from a fork! If I put the bowl down, Wolfie won’t eat & lets Chaco eat it all, but if I sit down & feed them forkfuls alternatively, they both get to eat. If they are not housebroken, they will be very easy to housetrain as they are so predictable & go to the bathroom before they eat without exception. They do everything together. They eat together, use the bathroom together, sleep together, walk beside each other & are never out of each others sight. Wolfie is adorable when he carries around his “baby”, his stuffed sloth which he even takes to potty with him! He will always bring me his baby & if he forgets it, he gets so happy when I give it back to him. Neither of these dogs “play” & have shown no interest in playing catch or tug of war. After they eat their meals &finish their treats, they just lay around. They are not destructive at all & do not “mark” their territory. They are each others best friend &keep each other company. That does not keep them from creating a bond with me or any other human who they meet. Anyone who decided to adopt these boys would not regret making them a part of the family. They are just wonderful dogs with great dispositions & loving personalities.

Wolfie & Chaco are in need of sponsorship while they are waiting to find their forever home. Sponsorship helps cover the monthly costs of feeding, monthly preventatives or anything else they may need.

GRACE

Grace

Grace is a Alaskan Malamute, Siberian Husky mix and is approximately 3 years old.

She came to Roseys Rescue on October27, 2021 from the shelter and she was adopted a few days later by a dog trainer who had her until January 28, 2022 when she came back to us due to the adopter/trainer being charged with animal cruelty and neglect. When she came back she was severely underweight and had developed extreme food guarding and high prey drive behaviors while she was at the adopter/trainer’s home. Grace had to be put in boarding until April because of the cold temps when she came back, but has been at Rosey’s since April. We have tried working with Grace on her food guarding but have not been successful. Due to her prey drive she is has been looking for a home where she will be the only pet. She cannot go to a home with any dogs, cats, bunnies, guinea pigs or any other small animals. She also requires a home with a large secure 6 foot or higher fenced in yard. She loves to run and play and would be an escape risk with a fence any lower than 6 ft. Grace loves her kiddie pool, sleeping and cuddling in the bed, playing with her huge stuffed caterpillar and to ride in the car. She also loves kids, but can be too energetic around small kids. Grace is 95 pounds and doesn’t realize how big she is. Grace is spayed, up to date on vaccines, wormed, microchipped and on monthly flea/tick/heartworm prevention. She has also undergone heartworm treatments last May/June and is now heartworm free. Grace has been with Roseys Rescue over a year now and while she is very much loved and cared for, she deserves a home of her own! Grace is a wonderful and happy dog and she loves all people.

Finally, we had Grace’s DNA done and she does have 17.6% Gray Wolf in her DNA. That means she is considered a “Wolf Dog”. In North Carolina it is legal to own a Wolf Dog or Wolf Hybrid as long as it’s not 100% Wolf (A Hybrid is where one parent is a full blooded Wolf and the other parent is a Dog), but each county has different ordinances and they may not be allowed. For this reason, anyone interested in adopting Grace has to let us know which county they reside so we can find out if a Wolf Dog is allowed prior to approving an adoption.

Grace is in need of sponsorship while she is at Roseys Rescue until she is able to find the appropriate home.

Sponsorship will help us cover the costs of her care, feeding, monthly preventatives or anything else she needs
