Rosey's Story

Rosie's Story

You might remember the Maremmas that were dumped at Urunga Golf Course in April last year. The interesting thing about this was that it was not the first time they were dumped. In February last year we received a call to say that someone had found three Maremma pups near Coramba Road on the out skirts of Coffs Harbour. They had rung other rescues without success, so we went to pick them up. We got them back to Happy Paws Haven and checked them for a chip, nothing found. We then tried to find their owner. In the mean time we chipped them, had them vet checked and vaccinated them. There was Parvo around at that time, not at Happy Paws Haven but in the Clarence Valley and Coffs Coast. Also we had Rosie's eye checked as it was slightly abnormal. We received a call from a man who said he owned them and could prove it. He came and picked them up, we felt things were not quite as they should be but we had to give them to him.

When the Maremmas at Urunga were trapped in April they went to the pound. We informed the ranger of our history and yes we found of the four Maremma's dumped at Urunga two were chipped with my chip. We took them from the pound under a duty of care until the owner had been contacted. Interestingly he said he did not want them back and that he had rehomed them to someone in Queensland denying any knowledge.

Moving forward we gained custody and got all the necessary vet work done, monitoring Rosie's eye along the way. It started to swell and we were worried it might explode so made the decision to have it taken. Rosie was the model patient. It healed quickly and Rosie was back playing with her siblings.

Just recently, a loyal supporter of Happy Paws Haven who had adopted from us before, contacted us wanting to adopt a dog. She was on property, had horses, sheep, a pig and chickens etc. She needed a dog that would cope with an array of animals including the resident cat. She had had a Maremma before who had passed recently but she said she was not sure whether she wanted another. So we spent the time introducing her to all our dogs, spending time with those who seem to fit the bill. For some reason Rosie kept being the one that connected best so won the day going with Hillary to her lovely property. We were not sure how she would react to the chickens, horses, sheep and the pig. We thought she would be ok with the cat as she had shown no interest here.

Hi Sally,

Just wanted to let you know how Rosey is getting on in her new home. She loves the cat, the chickens, the pig, and the horses, and sometimes tries to play with the sheep who is not too impressed ? She has settled in really well, and is very happy with her new friends ?

She has the run of the property, but strangely for a maremma, she seems to prefer being inside, and is always looking for sunny spots, or a place by the fire. She also loves swimming in the creek and dam.

She really has fit in wonderfully well, and we will be back to organise a doggy companion for her very soon. Thanks again for all that you do.
