About Rosie

Meet Rosie, a 7.5-year-old Chihuahua weighing just 6 pounds. This lovable girl thrives on companionship and enjoys being close to her people. She's mostly house trained and does fairly well on a leash, though she can have the occasional pull, which isn’t too hard to manage at her size. Rosie is friendly and gets along with both dogs and cats. She’s also suitable for homes with older, respectful children, as younger kids can be a bit too lively for her. A home with a securely fenced yard would be ideal, though she might adapt to apartment living if she receives regular walks and playtime. If you think Rosie could be your next best friend, don’t hesitate to apply to meet her! Her adoption fee is $75 and covers her spay, vaccinations, wellness exam, heartworm test, and microchip.
