My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

This beautiful girl is Rosie. She arrived at the shelter the first week of March 2025.

This sweet pooch with a soft, smooth tan coat is learning to trust and have fun! Rosie is on the small side of medium--we're guessing she's less than 30 pounds.

We really don’t know about her history. As she adjusts to the shelter, she’s friendly but tentative. Then she warms up and soaks up attention. She wants to be close to people.

We think Rosie is under one year old. She loves to give licks and is gentle and quiet. She walks well on the leash is and is getting used to the idea of doing her business outside. Rosie is past puppyhood and will learn the ropes quickly with patient, consistent training.

Rosie will do well with a single person, a couple, or a family with children old enough to be respectful and take a slow, gentle approach. Another easy-going canine friend would be great. Cats are probably a no, because Rosie likes to chase them.

Rosie will reward her adopter with lots of love and companionship.

We’re getting Rosie up to date on vaccines, and she’ll be spayed soon.

More about this rescue

Save The Animals Rescue Team II (S.T.A.R.T. II), started in 1989, is a non-profit, 501 (c) 3 status organization dedicated to alleviating the plight of homeless and abandoned companion animals. Twice a week we visit a local pound and take as many adoptable animals as we can. These animals are provided veterinary care, clean living conditions, exercise and socialization.

We work with potential adopters to find that perfect match…..giving them a "fur"- ever home for life. In addition, we educate the public on the importance of spaying/neutering as well as offering low cost options, vaccinations, preventive medications, and proper living conditions for their new and existing pets.

This lifesaving work is critical for many of these unfortunate animals, since their only crime was to be born unwanted. Since our inception, we have rescued and placed over 7,000 dogs and cats.
