🌹 Meet Rose — Houston’s Heart-Stealing Heroine 🐾 Hello, future best friend. My name is Rose, I’m 2 years young, and I’m living proof that love can bloom anywhere — even after the storm. 💖 I was found as a stray wandering into a yard with bloody paws and barely able to walk, but kind humans didn’t look away. They called for help, and that’s how I came to TXmal and got my second chance. Now I’m healthy, fully vetted, and ready to write my happily-ever-after... maybe with you? 🏡✨ 🎾 Personality Petals Gentle lady with a loyal, devoted heart 💕 Ball is life... but my humans are my whole world 🥹 Slightly bossy 👑 (I prefer “confident leader”) Fast learner who loves having a job 🧠 Professional cuddler & certified lap dog 🛋️ Proud collector of giant sticks 🌳 Rolls upside-down for joy and belly rubs 😆 🧠 Smart Cookie Skills ✔ Fully house trained ✔ Knows: sit, down, leave it, heel, here, up ✔ Motivated by treats AND playtime — best of both worlds 🍖🎾 ✔ Excellent recall (I will jump a fence to reach my person — that’s dedication!) 🏡 Ideal Home Active household that loves walks, runs, and playtime 🏃‍♂️ Experienced dog handler (great intro Mal if you’ve trained before) Older kids ✔️ Dogs of all sizes ✔️ (slow introductions please) Cats ❌ Chickens ❌ (high prey drive) Would thrive as a solo queen 👑 💛 Special Notes from My Foster I’m clingy? Nope — just professionally devoted 🥰 I may be anxious at first in new places or crates, but once I trust you, I settle beautifully. Car rides make me nervous, but I’m practicing and improving 🚗 Loud noises like fireworks or gunfire scare me 🎆 I pull on leash and benefit from gentle training tools while I learn 🌟 Why Rose Is Extraordinary When someone in my foster home was sick, I stayed in bed with them all day to comfort them. I don’t just love — I love with my whole soul. Dogs like me don’t come along often. I’m loyal, protective, affectionate, silly, smart, and ready to give someone my entire heart. 💞 🌹 Closing Petal I’ve already survived my hardest chapter. Now I’m waiting for the one where I finally belong. If you’re looking for a devoted partner, a playful athlete, and a cuddle champion all in one beautiful Malinois package... I’m Rose, and I’m ready to bloom with you. 🌹🐾
