About Rosie

Rosie is a sweet, joyful girl with a soft heart and a touch of puppy playfulness still in her. At around 4 years old and about 50 lbs, she's the perfect mix of gentle affection and lighthearted fun. She spent her early years as a breeding mom, and now she's finally getting the chance to learn what it feels like to be part of a real family. Rosie can be shy at first and may need a little time to adjust to new people and new surroundings. Once she feels safe, her personality blossoms—she becomes affectionate, playful, and eager to be near her people. She loves everyone: dogs, kids, and adults alike. Rosie will require a gentle, sweet resident dog in the home. Having another calm, friendly dog helps her confidence grow and gives her the reassurance she needs as she settles into a new environment. She's ready for a home that will give her patience, love, and the companionship she's been missing. Rosie is a wonderful fit for families who want a kind, social dog with a tender spirit and a playful side.

Ideal Home

  • Fully fenced-in backyard required (no invisible fences)
  • A gentle, sweet resident dog in the home is required
  • Someone home more often than not (she thrives on companionship and routine)
  • Children in the home must be over 7 years of age
  • Calm, stable home environment where she can be the center of attention

Ongoing Health

Rosie is spayed, vet-checked, heartworm negative, up to date on vaccinations, and microchipped.

Training & Support

Rosie can be shy at first and may need a little time to adjust to new people and new surroundings. Her personality blossoms once she feels safe.
