About Rosie

Rosie is an affectionate, social, and adventurous 6-month-old German Shepherd-Malinois mix puppy who is ready to find an active family committed to helping her grow into an amazing adult companion. Friendly from the moment she meets someone, Rosie is the type of puppy who happily greets new people and immediately looks for cuddles, belly rubs, and attention.

Rosie is good with dogs and cats and loves being close to her people. Right now, she thinks being your constant shadow is the best job in the world. She already shows a strong desire to please and is picking up new things quickly. Rosie enjoys leash walks and is eager to keep exploring the world around her, though like any young working-breed puppy, she will need ongoing consistent training, structure, and socialization as she matures.

She is mostly crate trained and is learning to communicate when she needs to go outside. Rosie and her sister are crated separately for meals and sleeping and are also spending individual time on walks and play sessions to help build confidence and independence. She is highly food motivated and never misses a meal, with Kongs and enrichment activities helping slow down her puppy enthusiasm around food.

With her ears beginning to pop and her sweet personality already shining through, Rosie is everything people love about shepherd puppies — smart, affectionate, energetic, and deeply loyal. Puppies like Rosie are a lifetime commitment of 10–12 years and require training, patience, exercise, and guidance to help them mature into wonderful family companions.

Ideal Home

Rosie will need an active family committed to providing consistent training, structure, and socialization as she matures. Puppies under 8 months old cannot be left alone for a standard 8-9 hour workday. Arrangements must be in place for her to be checked on at least every 4 hours until she is 8 months old to facilitate housebreaking and socialization.

Ongoing Health

Rosie is a healthy, growing puppy.
