My story

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

Meet Rosie 🌼
Age: 4½ years
Breed: Beagle mix
Vibe: Nervous sweetheart + certified little weirdo

Rosie spent 8 whole months living life on the streets, dodging responsibility and minding her own beagle business before the dog warden finally convinced her that couches and regular meals are, in fact, superior. Because of her rough start, Rosie can be shy and nervous with people at first—she’s the type who peeks around corners and says, “I’m not sure about you yet.”

But other dogs? OBSESSED.
Rosie believes dogs are perfect, magical creatures and would absolutely thrive with a confident canine friend to show her the ropes. She needs a secure fenced-in yard where she can safely zoom, sniff, and be her strange little self.

Once Rosie decides you’re her person, things get… loud. She doesn’t bark. She doesn’t whine. She screams with joy. Full-volume, heartfelt, “I love you so much I must yell” screams. It’s endearing. It’s alarming. It’s Rosie.

When she’s comfortable, she turns into a belly-rub connoisseur, melting into the floor and soaking up affection like she’s been waiting her whole life for it (because honestly, she kind of has).

Rosie is not for everyone—but for the right patient, kind, dog-loving home, she’ll be a quirky, loyal, scream-happy treasure. If you believe the best dogs are a little odd, a little nervous, and a whole lot of special… Rosie might just be your soul dog 🐶💛More information?

More about this shelter

Marion Area Humane Society is a 501(c)(3), non-profit organization incorporated in 1967 under ORC 1717. We strive to educate, assist and protect the animals of the Marion area. Since 1986 have operated a shelter to provide a humane environment for homeless animals. In 2011 several generous donors and grants made it possible for a shelter renovation and addition of a separate intake section. MAHS operates a open-admissions shelter with a guilt and fee free surrender policy, to encourage owners who can not properly care or maintain proper living conditions for their pets to do the best thing for the pet. MAHS also provides humane investigations and a spay/neuter voucher program for Marion county.
