Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Rose (FKA Miko) – The Sweet Staffy Mix Ready for Her Forever Home!
Rose, previously known as Miko, is a joyful 10-month-old staffy mix who made her way here from a high-intake shelter in Texas where her future was uncertain. Now safe and thriving in Illinois, Rose is blossoming into a wiggly, lovable girl who’s so grateful for her second chance!
Rose is housebroken with a regular schedule and has been adjusting beautifully to home life. While she isn’t a fan of her crate, she’ll go in with encouragement, but she much prefers her gated area, where she peacefully sleeps through the night.
From the start, Rose has shown her BIG love for sniffing and exploring every corner of her new world. She happily wags her tail—and often her entire body!—as she investigates inside and outside. Her mealtimes are a treat to watch; she eats like a champ, and her foster family has been giving her small snacks to help her adjust.
Rose is also a cuddle pro! During her first bath, she sweetly tucked her face into her foster’s lap, showing off her tender side. With typical puppy energy, she’s eager to play and introduce herself with full-hearted enthusiasm, even happily befriending her foster’s resident puppy. She’s very respectful of boundaries, responding quickly to any limits set with gentleness and respect.
Fully vaccinated, spayed, and healthy, Rose is ready to share her snuggles and happy wiggles with her forever family. She’s an affectionate, joyful pup who’s already stealing hearts with her love for life. 💖 Could that home be yours?
