Cinnamon*

e have gone through basic training classes with her, and we all did well.   Housebreaking is still a work in progress .  She and Bailey, our Chiweenie, get along well almost all the time.  Cinnamon gets into everything so we have learned to keep nothing, like a snack, unattended.  She freaked out at the Vet when they tried to cut her nails, so we were given a medication to calm her and we will try again next week.  The hoarder who had her had probably never had her nails cut and they were EXTREMELY long when we first met her.  They were cut, I believe, when she was spayed, which was a few days before we got her.  Of course, they were still too long and we are slowly trying to get them to a normal length.  Cinnamon loves to snuggle with both my husband and me.  She is a welcome addition to our home.  I think a nickname for her would be “Mischief.”  

Leo*

es, Leo is doing great! Thanks for checking in! He’s a fairly busy boy these days! We go for five mile walks each day and longer hikes on the weekend. We attend group training class once a month and he also attends daycare once a month. His separation anxiety is no longer — he is happy to hang out in his crate and enjoy his frozen kong when we are not home but he never goes in without some type of exercise first. He is exceptional with his obedience and we are always trying to increase the distractions to make it harder but he never fails to disappoint! I have attached a lot of pictures. 

DeeDee

I have no questions.  My experience with rescuing Molly from Rose’s Rescue has been absolutely wonderful.  Everyone that I have dealt with, Linda, for the application review, Carmella, the foster mom to Molly (formerly known as DeeDee), Rose, when Molly was being too aggressive, Tim, the trainer that was a miracle worker that helped me understand that Molly’s aggression is fear based and helped me to understand how to deal with her aggression.  My previous 2 dogs were also rescues, one in 1990 and the other in 2020.  The care and help that I received from Rose’s Rescue is by far, the very best experience that I have had with a Rescue group. The entire team at Rose's Rescue are awesome.  At first I wasn't sure if I would be able to keep Molly, but after meeting with Tim and all of the help that he provided, I decided to go through with the adoption.  Molly is a very loving, affectionate, feisty little dog.  She was a terror on a leash, but for the past month, I keep her in the fenced yard and leash her and walk her to the mailbox to retrieve the mail to get her used to being on the leash. I will attempt more in depth leash training/walking once the weather stays nice.  The only real issue I have at this point with Molly is that she is a maniac trying to get at the chipmunks that have established a home underground in my backyard.  She chases them and digs feverishly at the chipmunk entrance holes trying to get to the little critters.  I have to be with her whenever she is out in the yard, unless I tether her to the 30 foot dog lead that does not reach the chipmunk holes.  It is amazing how fast and deep she can dig within only minutes.  I am hoping that the chipmunks decide to relocate to a neighbors yard in the very near future. I have never had such a loving, cuddly little dog like Molly, she even snuggles her head against me and hugs me.  My last dog was Shadow, a poodle/terrier mix he, was about 10 when I rescued him from the Berea Animal Rescue, I only had him for a little over 2 years, he was a great little old man dog, he loved to be petted. he was a prince on walks, and he was a little treat fiend, but he was not nearly as affectionate as Molly.  I still miss Shadow and I like to believe that Shadow had a paw/hand in guiding me to Molly. Molly makes me laugh and smile every day.  Molly loves her toys, making them squeak, running after them, chasing and chewing them to shreds. She dances all of the time, especially when she wants a treat.  She stands on her hind legs and hops in circles 3 revolutions, sometimes up to 5 turns, it is the most adorable thing I’ve ever seen with a dog. She dances when she is happy and when she wants treats.  When she is finished with her ration of food for the day, she lets me know so that she can have her dessert which is a squirt of whipped cream.
