About Rose

Rose takes her time with new people and needs a gentle approach, but if you let her settle in at her own pace, her loyalty and sweetness really show. She'd rather skip toys and most treats, but dangle a hot dog and she might just decide you're her favorite. Rose does best when given patience to build trust; a couple of meet-and-greets are usually necessary for her to feel safe. She is housebroken and crate-trained, does well on leash, and is good with other dogs but would also be fine as your only pet. Kids aren’t her thing, so a quiet adult home suits her temperament best. If you’re looking for a mellow companion with a silly streak, Rose might be the one. Fun fact: Rose is a Virgo, born August 25, so she brings a practical, observant nature to her relationships.
