Story
Hi! I’m Rosie — and yes, my cool tiger-striped coat comes from being a Dutch Shepherd. Like my German Shepherd and Malinois cousins, I’m a herding girl through and through: smart, loyal, athletic, and happiest when I’m part of my people’s everyday life.
I may technically be a senior, but don’t let that fool you — I’m very much in my prime! I’m a healthy, active girl who’s always ready to go when you are. I love walks, car rides, checking in on the horses, and just being included in whatever the day brings. I don’t need marathons, but I do like to stay fit and keep my figure with regular activity and adventure.
Personality-wise, I’m vibrant, sweet, and incredibly people-focused. Wherever you’re headed, I’m happy to tag along. Movie night? Visiting friends? Relaxing at home? I’m a professional snuggler and an excellent companion. I have wonderful house manners and greet guests like they’re already part of the family. I even respect the kitties and give them their space.
Because I’m a herding breed, I do have a little prey drive — those squirrels simply should not be trusted! I can also get a bit too excited around small dogs, so I’d do best in a small-dog-free home. I generally enjoy other dogs and currently live happily with my buddy Yogi, but I do best with calm, compatible large dogs and clear introductions. Play that gets too intense or chaotic can make me unsure, so thoughtful management helps me shine.
Dutch Shepherds are known for their brains, beauty, and athleticism, and I’m proud to represent the breed well. Everyone who meets me says I’m something special — and honestly, I think they might be right. I’m loyal, affectionate, fun, and deeply bonded to my humans.
I’ve experienced a lot of change in my life, and what I’m really hoping for now is permanence. Sensitive dogs like me thrive with predictability and routine. I’m adaptable, but my heart is ready to finally know I’m home.
I’ll be most successful in a home with one compatible male German Shepherd or similar large breed, or with an active adopter committed to keeping me mentally and physically engaged through regular exercise and shared adventures.
If you’re looking for a loyal, fun-loving best friend you can take almost anywhere, I might just be your girl. I’m currently hanging out with my foster family and my dog buddy Yogi in Mountain View — come meet me and see what everyone’s talking about!
And just between us… my foster mom and dad say I’m not slowing down one bit — I’m living my best years right now.
