My story

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

If you're looking for a loyal, affectionate companion to spend your days relaxing with, Rousseau might just be the perfect match for you! With her stunning brindle coat, she is as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside. This sweet, independent lady has a heart full of love, making her the perfect companion for anyone seeking a best friend. Rousseau's gentle spirit and well-mannered nature make her an absolute joy to have around.

Rousseau loves her routine and thrives on consistency-she'll happily wake you up and let you know when it's time to go out, always sticking to her schedule. She enjoys outdoor time, especially lounging in the sun, and she's a big fan of car rides, ready for any adventure you have in mind. Whether it's soaking up the rays or curling up under the covers for a cozy nap, Rousseau knows how to enjoy life. She's communicative and always lets you know what's on her mind, whether it's asking for some love or sharing her excitement for a walk.

Smart and eager to please, Rousseau excels in her training and loves to show off the skills she's learned, especially from her time in APA!'s TOP Dog Obedience Program. She's great about respecting the house rules-no counter-surfing or getting into your food (unless you're offering)! Rousseau would thrive in a home where she can be the only dog, allowing her to soak up all the attention and affection she craves.

If you're looking for a smart, affectionate, and stunningly beautiful companion who will bring joy, comfort, and unconditional love into your life, Rousseau is the perfect match. She's ready to settle into a home where she can feel safe, loved, and cherished. Apply to adopt Rousseau today and give her the forever family she deserves!
