About Rosie

Meet Rosie. This gentle, sensitive girl is in search of her forever home. While she tends to be shy around new people, she thrives with patience and understanding. Rosie needs time to feel safe and comfortable in her surroundings, and it's important to allow her to warm up at her own pace. She’s particularly sensitive about being picked up, so her new family should respect her boundaries and help her build trust gradually. Though she may take time to come out of her shell, her sweet personality will truly shine once she feels secure. As Rosie requires dental surgery, she will be available for foster-to-adopt. Our rescue will cover the entire cost of her dental care through a veterinarian, while her foster family offers her a loving home. Rosie is looking for someone who understands that love and trust don’t happen instantly. With the right support, she can blossom into a wonderful companion.
