Rosie, a Golden Retriever mix who was dumped and nearly nine months pregnant, was taken in by the Neuse River Golden Retriever Rescue. Shelter heads Katie and John Black began addressing her immediate needs once she arrived.

The staff had previously cared for a lot of pregnant dogs, but when Rosie had puppies, it was clear that she would be an exceptional case since her four healthful Pups looked nothing like she did.

 

Unlike the gold-coated mama Rosie, the puppies were a spotty lot. The black and brown marks on their white fur made them eerily resemble a bunch of tiny baby cows! Fittingly, they were given the bovine names of Daisy, Clarabelle, Betsy, and Moo.

Cross-breeding often leads to striking differences in features of the puppies, but in Rosie’s case, the absolute lack of similarity was remarkable. But that didn’t affect Rosie’s love for her sweet pups even by a tiny bit!

Today, Rosie and all her babies have been adopted into loving homes. We are so thankful to Katie and John for their sincere efforts towards caring for the litter and finding them the best homes!
