About Rose

Life is unpredictable, and Rose’s story is a testament to that. Adopted years ago from Dante’s Hope, Rose has lived a loved, full life with her family. Circumstances have changed, and she’s now in need of a new home due to her owner’s declining health. Rose is a 5-year-old Bloodhound with a lot of spirit. She’s playful, enjoys the company of other dogs, and does best in an active household. She especially likes spending time with men and is unused to small children, so a quiet home without young kids would likely suit her. Rose’s Bloodhound instincts mean her nose is always busy—a securely fenced yard isn’t just recommended, it’s required, since she’ll follow a scent at the drop of a hat. While she thrives on outdoor exploration, she’s always been an indoor dog and wants to be part of family life. Rose is spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped. Right now, she needs someone who can offer her the attention and fun she’s missing. Click apply to start the adoption process.
