Meet Rosa, a girl with a heart full of joy and a spirit that knows no bounds. Her playful demeanor will make every day feel like a new adventure, as she`s always ready to explore and discover the world around her. She weighs 37 pounds and is eager to lead you along while she`s on a leash. She is a true social butterfly who loves making friends. She`s a bit bossy with other dogs but still friendly and playful so we suggest that you bring your dog to meet her. She has no experience with children. She may need your guidance with house training. She`s funny and independent, always finding ways to make you smile and surprising you with her clever antics. She`s smart and always ready for a a puzzle to solve. She is learning the come, no, down, and off commands so please keep her in practice. Despite her energetic, jumpy and sometimes noisy behavior, Rosa also has a quiet side, often content with just your company. She`s also a loving lap dog who craves attention. Her confidence shines through in everything she does, and her determination is nothing short of inspiring when it comes to digging out hidden treats. Rosa is not just a pet, she`s a beacon of happiness and resilience, a constant reminder of the simple joys in life. Adopting Rosa means inviting a bundle of joy into your home, a friend who will fill your days with laughter, love, and unforgettable memories. (tw 9/27/2025)
