About Rosie

Rosie is a 7-week-old Great Dane and Lab mix puppy currently making her debut in Van Nuys, CA. She’s at that sweet age where everything’s new and a little bit overwhelming, so you’ll find her approaching the world with a mix of shyness and curiosity. Give her a moment, and you’ll see her playful, affectionate side come forward as her confidence grows. Rosie is vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, and her spay surgery will be provided through the rescue when she’s old enough. Her coat is a striking combination of black and fawn, short and easy to care for. Rosie will grow into a large dog, so she’ll do best with an active family that can offer structure, consistent exercise, and, ideally, a secure backyard to roam. She already gets along well with dogs, cats, and children, and house training is underway. If you’re looking for a puppy who’ll become a true part of your family, Rosie is a great match. She’s in San Bernardino County and adopters must be able to meet in person—there’s no transport available. Rosie is an Aries, which means she’s likely to grow into a bold and energetic companion. They are ready to love you; are you ready to apply?
