Meet Rosie! This gorgeous 1-year-old, 73-pound Labrador is ready to steal your heart-and probably your couch cushions too! Rosie is an absolute sweetheart who lives for love and attention from her people. She'll follow you from room to room, lean into your legs, and remind you exactly why dogs are called man's best friend.Rosie is a big girl with an even bigger personality, and she's still got all that playful puppy energy you'd expect from a 1-year-old Lab. She's working on her doggy social skills and does best when meeting new four-legged friends at her own pace-slow introductions go along way with this girl! Rosie's perfect home looks like a family who has time and love to give, patient dog lovers who can let her warmup to any resident pups, and a home without cats or livestock.If you're looking for a loyal, loving companion who will be your shadow and your biggest fan, Rosie is your girl.If you are interested in giving Rosie her forever home reach out today by visiting www.pawspets.org/dog-application to apply.

Story
Meet Roman Brady! This big 85-pound guy came to us in 2025 and was a teeny puppy (puppy picture tax included). He came back to us this week due to no fault of his own. Originally we thought maybe an Aussie mix, but now we think there's some Shepherd-y Husky mix in there! 😜 His former family said:🐶 He loves other dogs, including the dog park frequently.🏠 He is crate and house trained. 🛁 He loved going to get bi-monthly baths at the groomer.💦 He loves water!😋 Very food motivated♥️ Loves people, did great with other dogs, cats, and loved kids! Apply today at www.pawspets.org/dog-application *We do always recommend that although we have wonderful info from his previous home (kids, dog parks, etc), that potential adopters give him time to decompress and acclimate to a new environment. Primary Color: Brown Secondary Color: White Weight: 85 Age: 1yrs 1mths 0wks
