Rosie is a medium-sized adult female Black Labrador Retriever/Boxer mix currently residing at Pet Rescue by Judy. She is spayed, up to date on her vaccinations, and house trained. Rosie is known to get along with cats but not other dogs, and she requires a home where she will not be left alone due to her separation anxiety.

About Rosie

Lets make it official, apply to adopt! Meet Rosie, a beautiful Black Labrador Retriever/Boxer mix with a sweet disposition and a unique personality. Rosie previously thrived when her owner worked from home, but after her owner's schedule changed, she struggled with severe separation anxiety—even medication couldn't help her adjust to being alone. Because of this, Rosie needs an adopter who can consistently offer her companionship throughout the day. Rosie is not fond of other dogs but she does get along well with cats, making her a perfect companion for cat owners. She is a clever girl who can easily jump a 6-foot fence, so supervision when outside is necessary to keep her safe. If you have a fenced-in yard, please be prepared to watch her closely whenever she’s outside. Rosie is looking for a home where her need for human interaction is understood and she will never be left alone for long periods. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
