My story

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

🌸🐾 Meet Rosie – The Sweet & Spicy Tomboy With a Heart of Gold 🐾🌸

Female • Mixed Breed • New Arrival • 11 lbs • Chihuahua • 8 years old

Rosie is one of four new siblings surrendered to AIR - a tight little pack who relied heavily on each other to feel safe. When they arrived, they were scared, stressed, confused, and unsure of the world around them. But slowly… beautifully… they’ve begun to trust. 🤍

And Rosie?
She’s the brave one.
The first to peek her head out.
The first to inch forward.
The first to say, “Okay… maybe I can do this.”

Today, she allows us to pick her up, snuggle her, and show her what love feels like again. She’s the most outgoing of the four, and once she feels safe, she turns into a TOTAL love bug.. kisses, cuddles, lap time, and all the affection your heart can handle.

But don’t let her delicate face fool you! Rosie grew up with all brothers, so yes… she plays rough, tumbles hard, and fully embraces her tomboy energy. This girl is the perfect mix of sweet and spicy, soft and bold, gentle and playful.

Rosie will thrive with someone who:
✨ Has experience with stressed or shy dogs
✨ Understands decompression and gentle boundaries
✨ Wants a playful, affectionate companion once trust is built
✨ Sees her not for her past, but for the incredible dog she’s becoming

If you want a dog who will blossom before your eyes…
Choose Rosie. 🌸🔥
