About Rosalind

Meet Rosalind, a gentle 3-year-old Chihuahua who weighs around 10 lbs. She arrived at Mostly Mutts from animal control, feeling scared and unsure, but now she's finding her confidence in a loving foster home. Rosalind needs a calm and quiet family, where she can continue to blossom at her own pace. With patience and love, she's poised to become a wonderful companion. While she gets along well with the dogs in her foster home—having shared some playful moments—she has yet to fully engage with kids, preferring older, gentle children instead. She's also been polite around the resident kitty, showing her peaceful nature. Rosalind’s personality is truly starting to shine. She's curious and enjoys following her foster parent around, even doing a little happy dance when spotted. Her cozy blanket naps are a favorite, alongside the occasional burst of energy that leads to her zoomies. Although she's not familiar with commands yet, she seems eager to learn as she grows in confidence. Her crate serves as her safe haven, making it essential in her new home while she acclimates. Rosalind loves soft blankets, sunbathing, and gentle ear scratches. Though she's not ready for laps just yet, she appreciates being close to her people. Loud noises and sudden movements make her nervous, so a peaceful, understanding environment is key to helping her flourish. This brave little girl is spayed, updated on vaccinations, and looking for her forever home in Kennesaw, GA. Ready to make this special girl a part of your family?
