Rose is a young, spayed female dog weighing around 9 months old. She is small in size and has a friendly disposition despite being a bit shy.

About Rose

Miss Rose and her three "Golden Girl" sisters were found wandering as strays and are beginning to adjust to life in a safe environment. With docked tails, they appear mostly Mini Australian Shepherd, but also show signs of Collie. All four sisters were quite skinny and scared when they were rescued, but they are gradually coming out of their shells. Rose, however, tends to be cautious around new people and has shown some unease with unfamiliar dogs. With time and patience, she can become a loving companion. The sisters are approximately 10 months old and are seeking a forever home, ideally with no young kids under 10 to ensure a calm atmosphere for adjustment.
