On Saturday, Gracie and I visited Brother Wolf. While there, I heard a very sad story and hope that someone reading this will be compelled to act.
Rose is a Jack Russell terrier. Her story is the reason why everyone should adopt a shelter pet, or, if you must adopt that special breed you cannot live without, go through a respectable breeder. She came from a puppy mill. The good folks at Brother Wolf can give you the full story which will make you want to kill the humans who had her. You may be shocked at such strong words. Trust me; they are deserved.
The bottom line is this poor dog has been badly mistreated. She is fearful of humans – and for good reason. She is undernourished both physically and psychologically. She desperately needs a foster home, if you are not able to give her a permanent home.
I would love to take her, but Gracie has not improved enough with her social skills to bring another dog into the house. She would bully this already heartbroken dog, and that is the last thing poor Rose needs. Rose needs lots of nurturing so she can bloom like the sweet flower for which she is named.
Fostering through Brother Wolf is a great thing if you can do it. They provide food and medical care. You provide a safe, loving home. When she is ready, you will take her to adoption events, and, hopefully, she can meet someone who can give her the home she deserves.
For more information about Rose, please contact Brother Wolf at 828-505-3440.

Rose was in a foster home ... didn't go so well ... my wife and I were asked to foster her and, as of this afternoon, she's playing with our four dogs and happy as can be.
