My story

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

Rosita (or “Rosie,” if you’re lucky enough to be in her inner circle) is a tiny girl with a whole lot of feelings. She’s had a whirlwind of change in her young life, and now she’s on the hunt for a special human who speaks “shy dog” and is ready to help her bloom at her own adorable speed.

Sure, she’s small—but her heart? Extra-large. Her trust? You’ve gotta earn it. Her loyalty? Worth every second.

Once you make it into Rosie’s VIP club, get ready for a whole lot of sweetness. She loves snuggling in your chair, turbo-zooming around the yard, and soaking up gentle pets like it’s her full-time job. She’s smart, treat-powered, and enjoys soft music and cozy crate vibes like the little zen puppy she is.

Now, with new people… well, Rosie has notes. She may bark, growl, or do her signature “reverse shuffle,” especially around men. She prefers slow intros with tasty snacks and zero pressure. But once she decides you’re safe? She melts. Completely.

Rosita is looking for a quiet, low-key home where patience, kindness, and calm energy are the vibe. She probably won’t stroll up to you during the first meet—but once she settles in? She bonds big.

As for dogs, Rosieta prefers calm and respectful dogs who will give her time to warm up. We are unsure if she has ever met cats.

Tiny dog, big emotions, huge potential. Rosie is ready for her person… she just wants you to take it slow and bring snacks.
