Say hello to Rosemary.
| 
2
She is a very friendly but reserved girl who is about 4-5 years old.
| 
3
Rosemary weighs 23 lbs.
|
4
She was a little shell shocked when she was first pulled from the shelter.
| 
5
She appeared exhausted and spent most of her first few days sleeping.
| 
6
From the condition of her skin, coat, and nails, she appears to have been neglected for a long time.
|
7
But she is not at all shy of people and she really appreciates the attention.
| 
8
Rosemary is a very, very quiet girl. In fact, we have never heard her bark or growl or whine.
| 
9
She will play gently with a toy or chew on an antler, and she always does it silently.
|
10
After some accidents in the first few days when she obviously felt miserable, her housetraining has been good.
| 
11
She will do her business pretty promptly when she is taken outside, but she doesn't show much inclination to go outside on her own.
| 
12
...except if it is a nice, warm sunny day, that is. Then she does like to sunbathe on the deck.
|
13
Rosemary has gotten along wonderfully with the other dogs here.
| 
14
And she quietly interacts with the little dog who lives in the home behind us.
| 
15
She moves slowly and tentatively wherever she goes.
|
16
But she doesn't seem overly anxious. Overall she just takes life one minute at a time.
| 
17
Given the choice, she does like to hang out with people. She thinks Gary is pretty neat.
| 
18
She trusts that whenever she goes up to him she will get some pats.
|
19
And she is right. :-)
| 
20
Butt skritches are a favorite.
| 
21
Watching Bevin running around the yard, she seems as though she would like to join in but just isn't quite sure what to do.

Waiting for an adopter who will appreciate her quiet, easy-going manner.
