Here's what the humans have to say about me:
This pup loves her people! Although we do not know her background, she was obviously someone’s beloved house pet that somehow ended up at the Dallas Shelter. She’s a very calm girl without the high energy of many BC’s. She doesn’t jump on furniture, perfectly house trained, talkative but not barky, can be left alone all day unsupervised and won’t get into trouble. Great on a leash and loves walks, getting used to car rides, not too fond of crates. Not been tested with children or cats. Would prefer to be an only dog. She avoids our younger BC and gets upset with his playful antics. Some would call her needy, but she just likes to remind you that she is available for more of your love and attention. Her love language is your calm hand on her head and looking deeply into your eyes. Rosie is a bit timid in new situations and would prefer a stable environment.
Rosie is 42 lbs, spayed, on heartworm preventative and about 8 years young.
