Meet Rosie

Our adoption application can be found at the bottom of this pet's bio. Once your application has been approved, we can arrange a virtual meet & greet with you and Rosie!

Rosie is currently in a foster home in Houston, TX and is eligible for meet & greets.

Meet Rosie!

Rosie is a 2 year old English Pointer mix. She was found roaming the streets with 2 other dogs when she was picked up by animal control and taken into the shelter. She soon found herself on the euthanasia list due to overcrowding. Thankfully, we were able to get her to safety with a foster family.

Rosie is fully vaccinated, microchipped, spayed and ready to find a family to call her own. She currently weighs about 45 pounds.

Rosie is dog friendly and currently lives with another dog! She's very playful, but can sometimes be a little dominant when first meeting a new dog (even though she's only 45 pounds). We would say that Rosie has a moderate energy level. She enjoys running her zoomies occasionally, but during the day she lounges around the house, napping on the couch or bed.

Rosie hasn't met a cat before, so we're not sure how she would react to them.

Rosie is kid friendly, but we would recommend older children ages 8 + who can be respectful. She has been around children as young as 3 and 7 years of age, but she tends to keep her distance from the loud and rambunctious little ones. She has also been around a 12 year old who is more calm than the younger kiddos and Rosie did great with her! She accepted treats and obeyed commands.

Rosie is excellent on the leash! She stays calmly by your side. It's almost like the leash isn't even there!

Rosie is fully potty trained! She uses a bell on the back door and rings it when she needs to go outside to potty. Rosie is also crate trained! She enjoys having a crate as it's her safe space. Rosie stays in the crate while her foster parents are away from the home for work or errands. Her foster family usually gives her a toy or bone to keep her occupied while she's in her crate and she's content.

Rosie is great about sharing her food, toys, water and treats with the other dog in the home. She never steals food or toys, she patiently waits until her foster brother is finished playing with a toy before she tries to take it. She also waits patiently and will "sit" when passing out treats.

Rosie's ideal home would be one with a backyard. She loves to run around and also sunbathe. She would love another dog in the home as she really enjoys the company of another dog.

Here's a small blurb about Rosie from her foster family:

Rosie is such a sweet girl. She's very obedient and only wants to make her humans happy. She likes affection and enjoys cuddling with her humans. She just enjoys being next to you and keeping you company.

She knows: yes, no, sit, lay down, paw, kiss, and waits until you tell her “ok go” to eat. She also knows "go to sleep" for bedtime. She’s very playful and knows how to entertain herself, but she always prefers to play with another dog or person.

She’s playful and sweet. She’s dopey and funny. She’s always in a good mood. She's able to entertain herself if you're busy and she's very smart! We taught her all of these commands in less than a month!! She doesn't beg (which is amazing)! She enjoys bath time. She's great out at events when meeting people! She'll happily approach people looking for pets or treats. When people come over to the home, she mostly keeps her distance until she warms up or feels safe and then she's her happy, wiggly self!
