About Rosie

Rosie has already lived a few lifetimes’ worth of challenges. Dumped while very pregnant, she sheltered as best she could and brought ten puppies into the world. They all survived, thanks entirely to her care and resilience. When an unsupportive property owner forced an early, stressful move, Rosie was separated from her pups; she waited outside, close enough to hear them but unable to get to them. After a rough start, a foster stepped in and reunited Rosie with her babies—finally, a safe place to land. Rosie’s body shows the tough road she’s traveled: fur loss, healing sores, and the patchy evidence of time spent fending for herself. But nothing’s broken in Rosie’s spirit. She’s always loved her people, and her affection and house training have never wavered. Rosie is still decompressing after all this upheaval, settling into safety for the first time in a while. She’ll make a devoted, loving companion for a family ready to offer the stability and kindness she’s been missing. Your patience will let Rosie shine. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
