About Rosey

Rosey is 9ish month old, 40lb Lab/Shepherd cross that came to rescue after being seriously neglected & living the first part of her life outdoors. She has quickly become accustomed to the finer things in life like the couch, snuggling, going for walks, playing fetch & getting regular meals. This girl LOVES other dogs & is her foster parent's constant shadow. She is happiest sleeping with her foster dad or playing tug with her foster French Bulldog brother. She is 100% crate trained & potty trained on a schedule but her new home should expect a couple of accidents at first. While she doesn't currently live with kids, her foster's niece visits frequently & she has met a couple other kids & worships the ground they walk on. She can be a bit of a bulldozer (one of her nicknames is Rozer Dozer), so kids 8+ or kids that are experienced with dogs would be best suited for her. Rosey is one of those dogs that's just happy to be with her people & doing whatever they are. She would do great with a single person or a family who is looking for a constant companion & willing to work on a little more training with her. She is picking up on training & commands but it's still a work in progress. She absolutely loves sleeping in bed at night & cuddles right up next to her foster mom. She isn't much of a barker other than when you get home from work & she knows she is going to get fed. She has been introduced to several cats & has done well but we are not sure how she would d0o living with one & may play a little too hard for a kitty friend. Rosey has been in her foster for over a month & has only gained some weight but hasn't gotten any bigger, so although she may look like a mini Mastiff, we think she is fully grown & is the perfect size. Ideally we would love to see this girl end up somewhere with a fenced in yard &/or another playful dog to burn up some of that puppy energy she has still. A portion of her adoption fee has been sponsored & she will go home with a brand new wire kennel if needed.
