About Rosie

Rosie is 6 months old and around 20 pounds, bursting with energy and personality. She’s sharp, playful, and surprisingly strong for her size—her tug-of-war game is no joke. Rosie gets along with every dog she meets, whether they’re big, small, fluffy, or smooth. If there’s a dog ready to play, she’s all in. She’s been thriving in her foster home and at doggie daycare, showing just how social and adaptable she can be. Rosie is house trained and crate trained, so you’re off to a good start there. She isn’t ready to trust just anyone—she needs patient people and a little space to warm up, but once you’re in, she’s loyal for life. Rosie would love another playful dog at home, and she does best with older kids who can respect her boundaries as she settles in. No cats for Rosie, though. If you want a social, lively companion who brings out the fun in everyone around her, Rosie could be the perfect fit. Let’s make it official, apply to adopt!
