About Rosie

Rosie is a delightful, mixed-breed pup, born on June 24, 2026, who embodies the joy of playfulness and affection. With her beautiful tricolor coat—brown, black, and white—she’s a medium-sized bundle of energy that loves everyone she meets. Rescued at just three weeks old, she’s adapted wonderfully in her foster home, where she has learned to thrive alongside other dogs, even if they bark at her. She takes their barks as a call to play, which just shows her sunny disposition. Rosie is making great strides with house training and usually sports a harness instead of a collar. Walking on a leash is no challenge for her; she’s a champ! If you’re looking for a friendly companion who is ready to bring some joy into your life, Rosie might be the perfect fit.
