Rosie is a smart, steady, and loyal companion who thrives on being close to her people. She has great manners and brings a calm presence to the home, but don’t be fooled—she has a playful side that comes out once she’s comfortable. Rosie’s story started out tough; picked up as a stray puppy, she eventually lost her first home due to her owner’s illness. Now in a loving foster home in the South, she’s adjusted well and is ready for a fresh chapter. Rosie can be particular about her dog friends; she plays politely with her 7-month-old Lab foster sister, but needs slow introductions with new dogs and does best with careful management. She’s happiest when fed away from other dogs—she’s protective of her food, but is never bothered by people near her bowl. Rosie is not a fit for homes with cats. She has completed basic obedience, is housetrained with access to a doggie door, and quietly sleeps in her crate at night, now seeing it as her personal treat station. When it’s time to let loose, you’ll catch her fetching balls, splashing in water, or carrying her soft toys around. Rosie needs a family who’ll provide structure, plenty of play, and lots of affection. In return, she’ll be your loyal sidekick and gentle friend. Born December 3rd, Rosie is a Sagittarius—no wonder she’s adventurous and upbeat. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
