About Rosie

Rosie came to the rescue in rough shape, battling a severe skin infection from flea infestation. With timely veterinary care and medication, she's bounced back and is looking healthier and happier every day. Rosie’s easygoing, affectionate, and loves people—she connects with adults and children alike (she’s best for families with kids 7+). She fits right in with other dogs and even gets along with cats. A rural or suburban life suits her best. She isn’t built for city energy, and apartment or condo living would cramp her style. Instead, Rosie would thrive in a home with a securely fenced yard, where she can explore, relax, and play. She’s a shepherd/husky mix, about 2 years old, and falls right in the middle for energy—calm at home, ready for daily strolls and exercise. If you have shepherd or husky experience, you’ll be a top fit. Rosie is house trained, spayed, and up to date on vaccines. She’s just waiting for the family to match her loyalty and gentle spirit.
