About Rosie

Your new best friend is just one click away. Rosie has found herself looking for a loving forever home after being returned due to her previous adopter's severe allergies, through no fault of her own. This gentle girl is very shy and timid, especially around men, and truly blossoms in a calm and quiet environment. Rosie prefers a laid-back household with a single female, where she will feel comfortable and secure. She enjoys her independence and appreciates spending time on her own but will seek out affection and attention when she wants to interact. Rosie communicates her boundaries well and is content to be near her person without constant interaction. For her happiness, a home with no children or other pets is essential.
