🌟 Meet Rosie, the delightful blue heeler/German shepherd mix who's ready to steal your heart! This beautiful girl was saved from a shelter in Bedford County, VA, where she was brought in as a stray. Talk about a heartwarming rescue story! While her past remains a mystery, one thing is certain: once you earn her trust, you’ll discover a loyal love bug beneath that shy exterior. 💖 Rosie takes her time to warm up, but oh boy, it’s worth the wait! She may be a little reserved around new people and pups, but once she feels comfortable, she showers affection with abundant tail wags. Just be warned—if a squirrel or a deer crosses her path, it’s tough to call her back! 🐿️🐾 Her high prey drive keeps her on her toes! At approximately 2 years old and weighing around 50 lbs, Rosie strikes a perfect balance of medium energy. She enjoys lounging around and playing with her toys, but due to her occasionally rough play style, a home with older, dog-savvy children is recommended. But all you parents out there, rejoice! Rosie has a wonderful rapport with her foster family's 5-year-old, who understands her canine charm. 🥳 What’s more? Rosie shines in her crate and potty training! 🚽✨ She walks beautifully on a leash, making her a perfect companion for leisurely strolls. However, she hasn’t met any felines yet, and with her strong prey drive, it might be wiser to keep her away from cats. 🐱 Let’s not forget that Rosie deserves a bit of grace when meeting new furry friends; slow introductions are key to her happiness. Unfortunately, her male Weimaraner housemate isn’t a fan, but that hasn't stopped Rosie from trying to be his buddy! 🙈 So, if Rosie sounds like the perfect fit for your family, do yourself a favor—*apply through the Buddy App*! This furry sweetheart can’t wait to meet you! 💌
