ADOPTION FEE: Thanks to a generous donation, Rosie's adoption fee has been waived! ROSIE IS ALSO PART OF THE REWARDS PROGRAM AND HER ADOPTION FEE IS WAIVED. WE WILL ALSO PAY MY FOSTER OR ADOPTER $500.
HT has a number of dogs that need very special homes. These dogs have been failed by humans along the way, leaving them homeless and with issues from their treatment. We'll be honest. Some of them are real jerks. But not always. And not to everyone. Not everyone can be charming ALL the time, right? Others are just fearful and don't like other animals because they have had a bad interaction at some point. Some of them love other dogs but are just plain scared of everything. But all of them are good on the inside. And we believe that ALL of them deserve a chance at life and love. And we're looking to find the right human out there to make that happen. But competition is tough. And they're up against small, well-behaved doggies...so we are offering incentives for special humans willing to give these pooches a chance. WE WANT YOU!
***We are paying $500 to any approved foster or adopter of our REWARDS dogs.***
The human will also get ongoing training support, all supplies covered and a $25 Amazon gift card each month for 6 months. You will learn and grow. You will be doing a world of good for a dog who has really had it rough in life.

ABOUT THIS ANIMAL:
🌸 Meet Rosie — Your One-and-Only Bloom! 🌸
Rosie is a sweet snuggle bug who came to us from one of our rural shelter partners. She may take a little time to warm up to new people, but once she trusts you, she’s a total lovebug who just wants to be by your side.
This beautiful girl adores playing fetch, enjoys tasty treats, and loves soaking up attention from her favorite humans. She’s also a great walking buddy—especially in calm, quiet neighborhoods where she can truly relax.
Rosie is looking for a peaceful home where she can be your one and only pet, soaking up all the affection for herself. She would also prefer a home without children so she can feel safe and comfortable.
💗 What Rosie Knows:
• Cues: Sit, Down, and she’s working on Stay, Come, and station cues
• Crate-trained: Walks right in and settles nicely—she just likes a blanket covering her crate for extra coziness
• House preferences: Quiet spaces, patient people, and a predictable routine
💗 Rosie Loves:
• Treats
• Fetch and fun toys
• Gentle affection from people she trusts
💗 Rosie Does Best Without:
• Other dogs in the home
• Dogs encountered on walks
• Fast movements or people who rush her personal space
We don’t yet know how she feels about cats, but if that’s important for your home, just let us know and we’ll be happy to explore that.
🌹 Sweet Rosie is truly the pick of the bouquet! If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate companion who will shower you with love, reach out today to meet this beautiful flower.
