ROSIE IS IN HIS FOSTER HOME IN MEMPHIS, TN, AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED TO VA ONCE ADOPTED!   Hi, I'm Rosie! I'm a friendly, happy girl who truly believes everyone is a friend that I just haven't met yet! I am an 11 month old mixed breed who weighs 45 and is housebroken. I get along with both cats and dogs, so I'd fit right into a multi pet home. I absolutely love belly rubs, cuddling, and being close to my people! I am currently learning my manners and working on sit, stay, and lay down. I am not crate trained, but I do love having a space to stretch my legs. A secure, fenced yard is important because I enjoy running around and playing outside.  If you're looking for a sweet, affectionate companion who will greet you with love and a wagging tail everyday, I might just be your girl!  Rosie is fully vetted.
