It’s “thyme” to adopt this girl!
Hello there! My name is Rosemary, and I’m a 3-year-old Australian Cattle Dog Mix female, weighing in at 85 pounds. I’ve come all the way from Ensenada, and I can’t wait to add a pinch of flavor to your life!
My foster mama says that I’m such a sweet girl who thrives with love and attention! I love any and all humans and want nothing more than to be around them all day. I also enjoy going on walks and sniffing around. But my favorite thing in the world is playing tug o’ war! I weight loss plan to help me thrive and be healthy at my goal weight of 65 LBS. I am eating Purina ProPlan OM dry food (~$50-100 for a bag. Price depends on on size purchased, and market value).
As far as my skills go, I am fully potty-trained, crate-trained, and leash-trained. I’ve already been spayed, too, and I don’t show any signs of separation anxiety when my humans leave. I have an easy-going temperament, but when I get riled up about something, it can be hard to calm me down. Distractions help, though, so be sure to have some toys and treats on-hand to keep me occupied!
My health is a work in progress: I have an old fracture to my leg that has semi-healed but that can cause lameness. I receive a monthly injection of Librela (Cost depends on established vet pricing and dosage, ~$100-$200). It is the first and only monthly anti-NGF Monoclonal antibody injection to help control pain for canines with Osteoarthritis. If my activity level is higher, and I need additional pain management, I take Carprofen, only as needed (~$10.00 for a couple months supply, depending on where purchased and market value). I take joint supplements (Dasuquin, ~$40.00 for a three-month’s supply, depending on where purchased and market value). I also have skin allergies and am currently on Apoquel ($80.00 for a month’s supply, depending on where purchased and market value).
I think I’d do best in an active home, especially one where I’d be the only animal. Kiddos would be tough because of my discomfort, but over 16 year old teens and young adults are fine! Because I love having company, I’d thrive with someone who could be home most of the day. But if not, I do just fine on my own. Either way, I promise to be your greatest companion!
Are we a recipe for success? My adoption fee is $250 and that includes spaying/neutering, shots, and microchip. If you want to take me home, please fill out the form on the website here: https://theanimalpad.org/adoption-application/.
