The best word for Rosie is a Lady. She is a Bernese Mountain mix possibly with spaniel she has an extremely soft,   glossy, wavy coat. Rosie has a way of sitting and looking into your eyes with so much hope behind them that she made it into our rescue as the volunteers with us could not leave her behind. Rose was tied to a fire hydrant in front of the animal shelter. She appears to have been with a family and well cared for as she was nicely groomed but had not had her stitches out from being altered.   It is possible that she had given birth and they kept the puppies but not her.   Rose is around 5 years old and 80 lbs. about 5/10 lbs. overweight.   She finds her way to her foster sibling’s food (most have been puppies).

Rosie has been with her foster family for a few months.   They so fell in love with her and hoped to keep her forever as part of their family. Unfortunately, she likes more individual attention and the many dogs that they have cause Rosie a bit of stress.    She LOVES walks and LOVES, LOVES balls… seems to live for them. Walks around with one all the time… even though she is 5 she runs after a ball like she is a puppy!

Rosey is a perfect lady. When you call her she comes to you and sits at attention. When she is called in she stands at the door and waits for the OK to go all the way in the house, if you open the door for her to go out... she will not go until she is told “OK Rosie” She has lived months with cats and dogs. She loves watching the cats, loves to be near them, and lets them drink water from her bowl, while she is drinking.   She likes to play and be around other dogs, but does better in a home where she can be the only dog.

Her favorite thing to do in summer… she lays her tush in a little hole another dog was kind enough to dig for her (she is way too much of a lady to dig!)   And watch people go by. Barking at them occasionally when they are accompanied by a dog, but stops barking when told.   Rosie is extremely smart and very willing to please.   She is electric fenced trained, loves car rides, enjoys sleeping beside her families bed, likes chewies, is crate trained but honestly doesn’t need it as she is 100% house trained (would never think about doing anything in the house) and   has never damaged anything more than her own ball.

Please consider making Rosie your new family member…   In return she will give you years of ball throwing and love!

Rosie's adoption fee is only $175.
