About Rosie

This could be the start of something paw-some. Say hello to Rosie! Rosie is an approximately 3-year-old female American Staffordshire Terrier and Pit Bull Terrier mix, who found herself in need of a new family after her previous owners could no longer care for her. Thanks to her friends at For Paws Unleashed, Rosie made her way to rescue, where she has quickly become a staff favorite. Rosie is an absolute love bug who charms everyone she meets, both people and dogs alike. Her expressive ears and adorable face make her impossible to resist, and her sweet temperament shines from the moment you meet her. Just imagine waking up to happy tail wags and her loving eyes each day! She is fully vetted, spayed, and up to date on vaccinations, so she's all set for her forever home.

If you’re interested in making Rosie a permanent part of your family, now is the perfect time to welcome this wonderful girl into your home.
