My story

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

Meet Rosie!

Joined us in: August 2025

About Rosie:
• A very sweet-natured, affectionate girl who adores people and loves giving kisses.
• Enjoys walks, sniffing out treats on enrichment mats, and a good game of tug-of-war.
• Happy to cuddle up for pets and scratches, then lounge around and relax at home.
• Playful and active when it’s time to go out, and calm and content once back inside.

Her perfect match:
• A home that enjoys regular walks and activity to keep her happy and fulfilled.
• An adopter comfortable providing guidance on leash manners and helping her channel her excitement around other dogs.
• A household that appreciates a large, loving dog and all the affection that comes with her.

Some extra facts about Rosie:
• Knows cues such as sit, shake (both paws!), and lie down.
• Motivated by treats, praise, and neck and head scratches — she loves positive reinforcement.
• Fully house trained and crate trained.
• Not a match for homes with cats due to prey drive.
• Great with children who are comfortable around larger dogs.
• On walks, she can be very enthusiastic about meeting other dogs and benefits from structured, positive guidance.

In short:
Rosie is a loving, playful companion who brings joy wherever she goes. With regular exercise, gentle training, and lots of affection, she’ll be a wonderful addition to just about any home looking for a big-hearted best friend.
