Story
Meet Rosie: Tiny Body, Olympic-Level Zoomies At just 3.5 months old, Rosie is already a professional fetch champion, lap-diving specialist, and part-time parkour athlete. This adorable Yorkie/Chihuahua mix (yes — her genetic bio is official!) has the long legs of a supermodel and the bat ears of a tiny superhero. We’re fairly certain she uses them to achieve mild lift-off during zoomie sessions. She is currently 8 pounds and most likely will end up in the 15 to 25 pound range. Rosie is coming from a loving home that simply wasn’t prepared for the full-time adventure that is “Puppyhood.” Their loss is someone’s incredible gain. This girl is smart. Like, “already learning sit and lay” smart. She’s crate trained, sleeps peacefully through the night, and is totally content resting in her crate for a few hours during the day. She’s not destructive, not a furniture chewer — she just loves her toys. Being in the thick of teething, appropriate chew toys are a must for managing those tiny (very dramatic) shark teeth. Rosie is currently potty trained to puppy pads and is catching on quickly to going outside. She’s also doing wonderfully learning to walk on a leash. She absolutely adores other dogs and would thrive with a playful canine buddy. She loves kids, too! Because she’s young and still polishing her manners, continued supervision and training will help both Rosie and her tiny human friends grow together beautifully. Most of all, Rosie is silly, affectionate, and full of joyful energy. She’s the kind of puppy who makes you laugh one minute and melt into a puddle of “how are you this cute?” the next. If you’re ready for a smart, playful, snuggly little sidekick who brings equal parts fun and heart, Rosie is ready to meet her forever family. Please email us at AlmostHome4Dogs@yahoo.com for more info or an application. (Local adoptions preferred — Philadelphia and tri-state area [South Jersey and northern Delaware] only.) NOTE: Most puppies do best in the company of an older dog who can teach them "doggy manners," so homes with at least one other dog usually will be given preference in puppy adoptions. Please read Suzanne Clothier's wonderful article, "It Takes a Pack to Raise a Puppy!" PLEASE READ BEFORE CONTACTING US! We are NOT a shelter: All of our dogs live in private homes with foster families. Come and meet the Almost Home dogs and their fosters at our Meet & Greet events, where you can learn more about our wonderful dogs from the people who live with them, find out which dogs are on their way and when they’ll arrive, and fill out an application to adopt or foster. We cannot adopt to homes where electric-shock fencing systems or training collars are used. For more information on the dangers of electric-shock collars, please visit banshockcollars.ca/studies.php . We do not have an online adoption application; to request an application, e-mail us atAlmostHome4Dogs@yahoo.com. To speed e-mail processing time, be sure to note the name of the dog you are inquiring about in the Subject line. For Meet & Greet times and locations, visit our home page, where you also will find information on our adoption process and fees. FOSTER FAMILIES ARE LIFESAVERS!! Can you open your heart and home for a few weeks to homeless shelter dog? Remember, by fostering a dog, you save TWO lives — that of your foster dog, and that of the dog who takes his place in the shelter! Come to a Meet & Greet and find out if fostering is for you — there's no reward quite like the feeling that you've saved a life ... or two!Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.February 13, 2026, 1:25 pm
