Meet Rosie 🐾
Please read the bio in full for answers to common questions. If you have a question not covered here, please email info@seniordoghaven.org. If interested in adopting, please complete an adoption application at https://seniordoghaven.org/adoption-process/. Because all of our dogs live in foster homes, meet-and-greets are scheduled only after a completed application is received. Adoptions must be within a reasonable distance of Marlton, NJ so our volunteers can conduct an in-person home visit.
Rosie is a beautiful 10½-year-old Brittany Spaniel weighing about 42 pounds, and she is the definition of a devoted companion. This gentle girl is fully housebroken, well trained, and happiest when she’s close to her people. If you’re looking for a loyal shadow who will adore you endlessly, Rosie is ready to report for duty.
Rosie came to us as an owner surrender after a life where she was clearly cherished and well cared for. She forms quick, loving attachments and often looks to her humans for reassurance and affection. Her health is stable overall, and she currently receives monthly Cytopoint injections (about $100) and eats Royal Canin GI Low Fat kibble. She does require regular grooming, including brushing at least twice weekly and weekly ear cleanings.
This medium-energy sweetheart enjoys daily walks and yard time. A fenced-in yard is strongly preferred so she can safely stretch her legs and indulge one of her favorite hobbies: squirrel watching and chasing. Rosie walks nicely on leash, can handle stairs, and has lovely manners around the home. She is good with dogs and kids (best with ages 10+), though she does have some prey drive and has not been tested with cats.
Rosie is what we lovingly call a “velcro dog.” She truly wants to be with her people as much as possible and does not enjoy being left alone for long stretches (more than about three hours). She thrives in a home where someone is around most of the day and where she can count on a predictable routine — including her preferred three meals a day. She also has significant anxiety during car rides, even with medication, so her ideal home will not require frequent travel.
One of Rosie’s cutest quirks? She came with an entire bag of toys and takes evening playtime very seriously. She will enthusiastically chase squeaky toys across the room… but don’t expect her to bring them back. By the end of playtime, you’ll find toys happily scattered everywhere — just the way Rosie likes it.
Rosie would do best in a loving, structured home that will provide regular exercise, plenty of companionship, and the gentle reassurance she craves. In return, she will give you unwavering loyalty, sweet affection, and the comforting presence of a dog who simply wants to be near her people.
If your home is ready for a soft-hearted, devoted best friend, Rosie may be your perfect match. 💕
