Rogue came into rescue foster care in late February 2006, at 17 months of age. She had whelped a litter at age 12 months and, on intake, weighed about half her normal adult weight. Professional evaluation revealed that she had never been socialized or trained but had been left alone in a run with another dog from puppyhood. She had never been inside a home and was terrified of every-thing new, frightened of men and children.
After a few months foster care and assessment, Rogue went to her new home on May 25, 2006 after beginning socialisation and health/weight gains with a Malamute breeder.
She thrived and grew and, to everyone’s surprise, accepted a male puppy into the household about six months later and the two are now completely bonded (she gets the biggest treats, though,and racing as a team.
Rogue likes chasing her red ball, playing catch with her red ball, sniffing in the woods, cabbage, broccoli and, oh yes, Bonios at Bedtime, best of all. |
