About Rosie

Meet Rosie, a sweet 4-year-old Whippet mix who’s looking for her forever home. She’s gentle, loves to cuddle, and enjoys a cozy pile of plush toys. Though Rosie can be a bit nervous around new faces and settings, she’s not aggressive; she just needs some time to settle in. Once comfortable, she’s an affectionate companion who thrives on love and attention. Rosie has lived with her best friend Scout, a 7-year-old Terrier mix. While they’d love to be adopted together, they can also find happy homes separately. Rosie does best in a house with a yard; she’s not suited for apartments due to her vocal nature. She enjoys the company of dogs but is not a fan of cats, as she can get a little obsessed with them. Both girls are house trained but may have an adjustment period when transitioning to a new home. The ideal home for Rosie includes some space where she can roam freely and a caring family that understands her sensitivity. If you think you could be the right match, don’t hesitate to apply; Rosie is ready to shower her love on a new family!
