About Rosie

Meet Rosie, a sweet girl looking for her forever family! This 2-year-old Australian Shepherd mix has had a rocky start, but she’s now ready to blossom with a loving companion. Rosie weighs about 25 lbs and would thrive best in a home where she has furry friends around her for confidence, especially in loud environments.

She’s spayed and up to date on her vaccinations. Rosie is working on her crate training, and although she might need some reassurance as she adjusts, this little lady is eager for TLC.
