Hi! My name is ROSIE and I am looking for my new home!II am a super sweet, affectionate 6+ year old gal and I weigh 65 pounds. Based on my DNA results, I am 75% Rhodesian Ridgeback and 25% German Shorthaired Pointer mix (see my DNA results picture).House trained! Crate trained! Leash trained! I am a very loving, friendly, and snuggly with my people and I often follow my people around. Whenever I see my family, I wags my whole backend with excitement.:)When I am not snuggling on the couch with my family, I love to play or go on a walk. Spending time playing or going on a walk/jog with me helps gets my playful energy out. I am an athletic energetic girl who has even had some training jumping obstacles!When I meet new people that arent my family members, I can come across as aloof but give me a little time to adjust and then I quickly warm up they will become my people too and my personality will shine!I really prefer to be the only dog in the home. Also, no cats please! I have lived with older children in my foster home and I get along with neighborhood children and visiting family members.On walks, I tend to get along with most dogs my size when properly introduced but do not do well with smaller or medium sizes dogs. For that reason, I should have a fenced yard where I can run and play.Although I am a big girl, I love laps and sure like to cuddle! Did I mention that I love walks and playing? Afterwards, I love to relax and snuggle with you! As much as I love my comfy foster home, I am looking for my forever home! My foster family can answer any questions you might have. Wont you please come meet me? Love,ROSIE***As long as our dogs are on the website they are available. Applications can be found at CanineCollective.org***
