About Rosie in TN

Meet Rosie, a delightful young Dachshund from Shelbyville, TN. At just 2 years old, she’s bursting with personality and charm. Rosie has a smooth, short coat in a lovely red color that complements her playful spirit. She came to us after being rescued from a difficult situation, and now she's ready to find her forever home. This sweet girl loves attention and will greet you with a bright smile if you talk to her gently. Rosie is house trained, thanks to her previous training with a doggy door, and she's also crate trained. While she’s learning how to walk on a leash, she is already great with other dogs, so having a playful companion around her size would be wonderful. Rosie also gets along with children aged 10 years and older who can respect her space. It’s important that Rosie goes to a home with a fenced yard where she can safely explore, as she’s not suited for apartment living. Though she’s currently being treated for heartworms, she’s light positive and will be ready for adoption after her treatment, just in time for the holidays. This waiting period will give you the perfect chance to prepare for her arrival and shower her with love. If you’re ready to welcome a loving companion who brings sunshine into your life, Rosie is waiting for you. Apply today to start the adoption process!
