My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Rosie is a four year old, energetic little lady! We acquired her as a puppy from her birth mother’s owner (in Lehi, UT!). She is so smart and easily trained. Rosie loves chasing frisbees and balls and being outside keeping a lookout for squirrels. She sleeps inside in her crate, but I think she could easily become an outdoor dog, too! She is well behaved when kept on a schedule and exercised. We are broken hearted to have to say goodbye to our sweet girl, but she hasn’t adjusted well to our baby. Rosie is very good at communicating her boundaries, but babies don’t understand and this has led to some scary encounters between Rosie and our baby. We can’t trust her around our son, so that’s why we are hoping to rehome her to a family that has older children or none at all. She would be happiest being the only dog in her new home, unless you are willing to invest some time and effort into building better social skills in her. She loves showing off her athleticism!
