About Rosie

Rosie is a charming dog with a heartwarming story. She came to the shelter in 2024 after suffering from neglect and cruelty, which left her with some lasting challenges. Rosie has been diagnosed with pancreatic insufficiency, a condition that makes it hard for her to digest food and absorb nutrients properly. Because of this, she requires careful management of her eating habits and a strict prescription diet for life, supplemented with pancreatic enzymes and vitamin B12 injections. Despite her struggles, Rosie is full of life and enthusiasm, always eager to chase a ball and play. Her sweet nature and silly personality have won the hearts of those who care for her. However, her fixation on food means she needs special attention and an experienced owner who can help redirect that energy into play. Rosie is spayed and vaccinated, and she has been noted for her affectionate nature. She does not get along well with most dogs and should not live with cats. It would be best for her to be the only dog in a household. We believe there’s a perfect person out there ready to give Rosie the love and understanding she deserves. Your support can help her find a safe and caring home. Click apply to start the adoption process.
