About Rosie

Rosie is a standout Catahoula Leopard Dog brimming with energy and athleticism. She thrives when she has plenty of space to run, leap, and show off her impressive stamina. Built for action, Rosie looks for a home where she can have a job or task and isn't content being left idle. Despite her drive, Rosie is deeply affectionate with people—she's gentle, trusting, and loves cuddles. If you get handsy, she’s unbothered; she just nudges you away with a lick and moves on. She carries a strong, alpha personality and has a high prey drive, so she isn’t suited to households with small dogs or any small pets. She could work with another large, confident dog who can match her energy, but Rosie would love to be the lone canine queen of her castle. She listens well, forms close bonds quickly, and has that loyal streak Catahoulas are known for. If your home is full of activity and you want a powerful, playful shadow who doubles as a champion snuggler, Rosie is eager to meet you. Fun fact: Born on April 1, she is an Aries, which explains her vibrant energy and bold spirit. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
