About Rosa

Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now! Rosa is a beautiful Rottweiler weighing between 90 and 100 pounds, estimated to be around 6 to 8 years old. She arrived at her foster home after a tough time in a high-intake shelter, but has blossomed into a happy and healthy companion. Rosa is incredibly smart—she already knows how to sit and shake hands! Food is her favorite motivator, and she’s always eager to work for treats. While she’s a big and strong dog, her foster mom finds her to be gentle and well-mannered. Rosa would do best with a confident, experienced owner who can handle her size and strength. She should be the only pet in her new home, where she can truly thrive with a loving family of her own. A reduced $100 adoption fee applies to Rosa to help her find that perfect forever home. Give them the home they have been waiting for. Apply today. Augusta Dog Adoptions is an all-volunteer, foster-based rescue in Waynesboro, VA.
