Rosie's foster says:
Rosie is ready for her forever home! She is sweet and cute, loving and happy, silly and enjoys playing fetch.
As a middle aged lady, she is the perfect fit for someone who isn't looking for puppy energy, can feel comfortable knowing she'll fully behave when left alone, and is looking for companionship.
She loves snuggling and makes her bed on her favorite couch or if you want, with you. She also loves to be around people and will work to gain the affection of any houseguests.
Give this amazing girl a chance! She is truly a delight and will warm your heart with hers.
Rosie makes for a great coworker! She is pretty quiet and just wants occasional pets and butt rubs. Otherwise she just sleeps while her person works.
We met both adults and kids (a baby and a 5-year-old) on our walks, and she was great. Wags her tail so much I think she might wag it right off! She loves the attention and was very gentle and gave a little lick when the 5 year old petted her.
More Rosie info:

Rose is a shining example of an affectionate and gentle personality. She's a relaxed and laid-back girl, exuding a sense of calm and comfort wherever she goes. Rose's tranquil nature makes her the perfect companion for those who appreciate quiet moments, cozy cuddles, and the joy of having a loyal friend by their side. She'll happily play and engage in fun activities if you want to, but she's also content just lounging by your side.

With her pristine white coat, Rose is a vision of elegance and beauty. Her soulful brown eyes mirror the depth of her emotions, and her endearing expression is sure to melt your heart. She's the perfect blend of grace and charm, wrapped in a dog with so much love to give.
Ideal Home:
Rose is ready to be a cherished member of a loving family who can provide her with the security and affection she deserves. Her relaxed and easygoing nature is a good fit for households seeking a calm and comforting presence. She'll thrive in a tranquil environment where she can experience the joys of simply being in the company of her loved ones.
She's the type of pup who can easily make friends and bring a sense of harmony to your home.
Adoption Note:
Rose's past may have been marked by abandonment, but her heart remains full of love, and her spirit is resilient. If you're ready to give this sweet girl the second chance she deserves, please consider adopting Rose. She's more than ready to fill your days with affection, loyalty, and warmth.

You can save animals like this one by becoming a foster! Fosters are like way stations between high kill shelters and forever homes. We need fosters so that we can save dogs before they are euthanized at the shelters.
