Story
Within 3 seconds of meeting or seeing Rosie Posey, you are required by law to comment on her rolls and jiggle. Rosie’s whole personality is “easygoing bestie.” She’s friendly, affectionate, and has that calm, happy-to-be-here energy that makes her feel like an instant family dog. Her favorite hobby is belly rubs. Her second favorite hobby is holding down the couch while reminding you that belly rubs exist. She happily rolls right over at the first sign of pets and soaks up attention like it’s sunshine. She’s estimated to be around 2.5 years old, and while rescue life means we can’t promise a breed… Rosie sure looks like a mastiff mix (and she wears it beautifully). Let’s just call her 74-lbs of mastiff-y bundle of rolls, squish, and wiggly-butt charm.
Want to see Rosie Posey in action? Head to YouTube for “Rosie Posey | Belly Rubs & Speed-Limit Zoomies” and watch this lovable tank show off her gentle vibe. https://youtu.be/uVsJ7rOPnW0
With other dogs, Rosie is polite and social in a low-drama way.. She met new dog friends calmly, and while she’s more of a companionship girl than a full-time playmate, she did treat us to the cutest, speed-limit-abiding zoomies (heavy on the adorable, light on the chaos). She gravitated to the relaxed dogs over the high-energy, wrestling types but simply was friendly and respectful.
Rosie was also introduced to Miller, almost 5 years old, when she stopped by for a visit and she did wonderfully! She was immediately all wiggles of love, rolling over and gently asking for pets like a pro. She’s got a big dog presence and can be a little enthusiastic with her affection, but she’s not out here launching herself onto people, more like schoooching in real close despite her size but she is very polite with her body.
With Cats, Rosie did well meeting our house cat. She was respectfully curious and if possibly joining a home with a cat we will set her up for a sleepover with our Kitty Commitee to confirm that same good manners over an extended time in a home setting.
If you’re looking for a sweet, squishy, affectionate girl who brings calm companionship and occasional speed-limit zoomies to the table, Rosie is ready to roll into your home, rolls and all.

https://g.co/kgs/UQ5Pyai We care deeply about creating lasting matches between dog and family for long term success, and take the time to ensure each adoption is a fit through our matchmaking process.
At our 2 acre Texas based property, we assess every animal with trainers on staff, we modify behavior as needed, and create individualized behavior plans to help prepare dogs for their future families including crate training, potty training, leash walking, etc. Our fosters are able to attend group training and socialization play groups helping them stay confident, well rounded, and adoption-ready. Our on-site trainers are dedicated to each dog’s growth and we enjoy seeing their progress!
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.
