About Rosalind

The Queenie litter brings together six resilient puppies just 10 weeks old, now safely arrived in Connecticut after a rough start in rural North Carolina. Rosalind is one of four female siblings—a playful, gentle pup with a friendly spirit who’s bounced back remarkably well from her shelter days. Her DNA turns up a peculiar yet charming blend: Australian Cattle Dog, Beagle, Chihuahua, and a hint of Poodle. The entire litter surprises with their adaptability, showing none of the trauma you might expect after their journey. Rosalind and her sisters are best suited to homes willing to keep them busy—think active people, couples, or families with older kids ready for puppy enthusiasm. She and her littermates have started responding well to positive reinforcement training, showing both interest and potential for learning. These pups can integrate into homes with tolerant, playful older dogs and will likely do well in multi-dog setups. The rescue estimates they’ll reach a medium size, probably 20 to 30 pounds, and emphasizes the benefit of adopters with experience in working breeds, as these girls need plenty of both exercise and mental engagement. Rosalind is spayed, fully vaccinated, and ready for a household that understands the needs of an energetic, social puppy. Start your journey together! Apply now.
