rosie

Rosie is a smart, steady, and loyal girl who loves nothing more than being by your side—she’s the ultimate “helper heeler.” She has nice manners, a calm presence, and a playful side that shines once she feels comfortable.Rosie’s journey began when she was picked up as a stray puppy by a young mother. Unfortunately, when her owner became ill and had to move out of state for treatment, Rosie couldn’t go along. Now safe in a southern foster home, she’s adapting well and is ready to find her forever family.Rosie has a bit of a bossy streak with other dogs and can be selective, but she generally warms up. She currently plays nicely with her 7-month-old Lab foster sister and enjoys her canine companionship. Rosie should be fed separately, as she is protective of her food around other dogs, though she has no issues at all with people.This smart girl has already completed basic obedience training. She is housetrained to a doggie door, sleeps quietly in her crate at night, and is learning to see her crate as her own “treat machine.”When it’s time for fun, Rosie shines! She loves chasing after balls, wading in her kiddie pool, splashing at water from a spray nozzle, and carrying around her favorite big, soft stuffed toys.Rosie will thrive with a family who can give her structure, playtime, and plenty of love. In return, she’ll be your loyal companion and trusted sidekick.Name: RosieBreed: Carolina Dog MixSex: FemaleAge: 2 years  (estimated)Weight: 40.0Spayed/Neutered: YesVaccinations: Up to dateHeartworm: Negative on recent testingMicrochipped: YesBASED ON OUR OBSERVATIONS:Good with Children: Over 12Good with Dogs: Selective; needs slow introsGood with Cats: NoAdoption Fee: $550.00  (includes transport fee when applicable)Location of dog currently:    Texas IMPORTANT INFORMATION - Paws New England is a foster-based rescue; our dogs reside in various locations throughout the south & New England.  Adoption donations cover pre-adoption vet costs (including vaccinations, spay/neuter when age appropriate, and heartworm testing/treatment when necessary), a microchip, and transportation to New England if necessary.Donations for our young, healthy puppies and dogs support their fellow canines of advanced age or suffering from injuries and abuse whose donations are reduced but whose veterinary costs are typically much higher.
