Rosie is fully vetted, spayed, house and crate trained, and ready to settle in with a family of her own. She prefers having another similarly sized or bigger dog in her new home—she really benefits from the company of a canine buddy to help her adjust.

Her coat is short and white with some bicolor markings, and at just over five and a half years old, she’s mellow but still has plenty of spark left. A Libra by birth, Rosie brings balance and loyalty to any household. She’s in Sheboygan, WI and is more than ready to meet someone who clicks with her style. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
