BIO: 

Hi everyone, my name is Rosie and I’m from Memphis, TN and I was surrendered to rescue by a family member of an abusive back- yard breeder.  It was the best day of my life when they found someone that was a member of All American Dachshund Rescue that lived in my home town.  They immediately took me into their family even though I had many medical and social issues.  I couldn’t walk on my hind legs and it was feared that I had Intevertebral Disc Disease (IVDD) but the rescue did a myelogram and I didn’t have a ruptured disc after all (yippie!), it was nerve damage so they started my laser therapy and today I’m up and walking the wobble walk 80% of the time.  I still do have potty issues but if you keep to a strict potty routine, I’m no problem at all.  I’m scared of strangers and do get a little on the defensive side but if you give me my space, show kindness, patience and love I will stick to you like glue on paper. I’m currently going to behavioral modification sessions at ProTrain and taking Prozac to help calm my stress/fear factors. I like my sessions with Mr. Bailey and look forward to each one.  I love my foster siblings but am not fond of the larger breed dogs.  Children make me very nervous so a mature older couple or individual is preferred.  My foster mom’s sister has a cat and I get along with her just fine.  I’m very scared of storms so just keep me close to you during the thunder and lighting. I am leash trained but only on grass, concrete is not my best friend. I don't mind being crated for a little while but if you plan on being gone all day it brings back too many sad memories. I love the big bed with my foster mom.  I must be adopted within a 300 mile radius of Memphis, TN and my furever family must be willing to meet half-way for a lengthy meet and greet. Are you the forever home that is willing to take on a challenge and make me the perfect part of your family forever?
