Rosie is an owner surrender to a shelter where she lived outside in rural Virginia, but very much likes her new indoor dog life! She is about 1.5 y o. She is a sweet, friendly girl. Rosie was a little shut down from all the changes in her life, but she has come out of her shell with a personality of playfulness, happiness, and joy. She does need continuing confidence building.

She has been evaluated by a certified behaviorist/trainer. Her findings are as follows:

• she is sweet and people focused
• she was uncomfortable with forced handling (holding and touching feet) but very tolerant and accepting
• she needs work on conditioning and given space to choose contact and not forced to interact, she will demand attention and contact when wanted
• loves attention and petting, seeks human for assurance and when anxious
• not food motivated, but will accept food and treats
• likes toys
• seems ok with dogs, but will need slow introduction and time
• high risk for separation anxiety, showing some signs now. Can correct with appropriate conditioning
