About Rosey

Rosey is a sweet dog who found herself in a Southern California shelter after raising five adorable pups. She has a lovely white coat with straight, medium-length hair, and is estimated to be around 3-4 years old. Currently weighing 15 pounds, she still has some filling out to do to reach her ideal weight of around 18 pounds. Initially timid, Rosey quickly developed a bond with her foster mom and family. When meeting new people, she may bark at first but soon settles down to sniff and greet them. After caring for her puppies, Rosey is beginning to regain her strength. As the pups wean off, she will gain the necessary weight and confidence. This affectionate companion will need some time to adjust in her new home, including potty training and leash walking. Establishing a consistent routine will help her feel secure and encourage her to flourish. If you can provide the love and support she needs, Rosey will be a great addition to your family. Rosey will be available for adoption after June 27, in Roseville, CA, and we're hoping to facilitate her transfer to Nevada for spaying and permanent adoption. If you're interested in adopting this precious girl, please visit k9bestfriendsforever.com to submit an application. Let's give Rosey the loving home she deserves!
