About Rosie

Meet Rosie, an upbeat, social girl with plenty of energy. She thrives during playtime, especially with tennis balls and stuffed animals, though she’s still working on her fetch skills—releasing toys isn’t her strong suit yet. Rosie likes to have toys and food all to herself, so she needs to be the only dog in the household, but playdates with friendly male dogs are still on the table as long as everyone is properly introduced. She tends not to get along with female dogs. An easy-going cat could be a good match for her, and teenagers or adults will be her best companions due to her possessiveness with high-value items. Rosie is house trained and vaccinated, making her ready for a new home in North Adams, MA. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
