About Rosie

Meet Rosie, a lively 10-month-old Australian Cattle Dog/Red Heeler, who tips the scales at about 28 pounds. This energetic female is not your typical couch potato; she thrives on activity and is looking for a forever home where she can be both stimulated and exercised.

She’s currently training through the Prison Program, focusing on obedience and self-control.
