About Rose

Click apply to start the adoption process. Rose is a lovely large American Staffordshire Terrier/mixed breed who recently found herself back at the shelter through no fault of her own. Her previous family relocated out of state and had to downsize, but they have nothing but good things to say about her. She previously lived happily with two other dogs and children, and she's fully housebroken as well as well-mannered. Rose is also crate trained, although she can be a bit reactive to strangers if she's inside her crate. She's carrying a few extra pounds, but that just means there's more of her to love! This sweet girl is hoping her next family finds her quickly—she belongs on a cozy sofa rather than inside a kennel. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
