Story
Looking for a joyful, inquisitive, cuddly new family member with well balanced energy level?Crosby Rose is 19 lbs of pure joy and ready for you! She’s almost 6 months old so we think she will stay medium sized.
She never wanders too far away in the house and if you are sitting, she will often grab a toy and come close to your feet so you can give her a boost and she can share her toy with you. She also loves when you make her a nest in your lap with a blanket. She will climb in and curl up.
She also loves to stretch her puppy legs more and is spending time playing and exploring at her foster home.
Calypso the blind kitty is one of her resident friends, as well as a fun shepherd mix you can see in the video.
She recovered amazingly well from her required amputation and it is absolutely no big deal to only have 3 legs! She loves to play with her BFF (best farm friend) and is submissive yet playful and fun.
One of her favorite places is to be is next to humans, or even in their lap. If something makes her a bit nervous, she will seek safety from her human. She is still a puppy (5 1/2 months-ish) and is still losing baby teeth so she can get a bit nibbly, but she is treat motivated and toy/play motivated so she is easily redirected.
She loves treat puzzles and tug of war. She is getting very good at fetch. Walking with a leash/harness away from the house is still new, but she is working on getting braver every day with her foster family’s help. She is blossoming more and more every day.
Check out her video where you can see her zooming around the yard with her dog friend. She’s quick! She can't jump up onto furniture or into cars (yet), so she may need a boost now and then or a set of pet steps or a ramp, but she weighs less than 20 lbs, so it isn't that big of a deal.
Barking is not a regular habit. At night for a few minutes (working on crate training) or during play occasionally. Also if she hears an unfamiliar noise, she will bark a few times. Otherwise she is a quiet companion.
There are several cats in foster mom's house, and she is pretty indifferent to them. There are a few that want to be her friend and she seems just fine with that!
Her ideal house would be one with another friendly dog that will lead and show her the dog ropes. But she would be fine as an only pet, or only dog with cats as well. Kids that can respect her limitations (even though she doesn't think she has any) and be patient with her and understand puppy nibbles may take a few more months to grow out of.
She would also do great with empty nesters! She is not a super high energy puppy. She has puppy energy but it isn't overwhelming (foster mom is 54 and doesn't mind her energy!). She would NOT thrive as an only pet for a single person that is gone alot. She'll need play and exercise and enrichment at this age.
She is poop potty trained 98% of the time and is working hard on pee potty training (75%+), but will use a potty pad if one is out and she needs it. She may be totally potty trained by the time of adoption since we are working with her every day.
Crosby is still young and will need a family that can commit to training, socialization and all the dedication puppyhood requires. A puppy is discovering new things that shape their personalities with each passing day. Implementing routine, structure, setting boundaries, and proper socialization is key from the start. We require a commitment from adoptive families to crate train their new puppy starting immediately when arriving at their new home, which will help with potty training, energy management, and the overall development of a well-rounded adult dog. You will be guaranteed to get lots of kisses in return from your new best friend! Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?

We go above and beyond to ensure every animal receives exceptional care. Veterinarians consistently praise our medical standards. From routine care to advanced treatments, each dog receives personalized attention. Hard costs for a healthy dog range from $804-$920; heartworm-positive dogs or those needing specialized care can exceed $2,000+. Adoption fees help cover a portion of these expenses, but without government funding, we rely on fundraising to bridge the gap—ranging from $100–$1,000+ per dog.
Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet.
