ryone she meets; she lives by the motto that humans were meant for snuggling and kissing! In the house, Rosie is very playful for about 20 minutes and then is ready for a nap. Preferrably with you, but she's not too picky! Rosie doesn't mind riding in the car, going to the vet, or getting baths. She did seem a little too interested in chasing a farm cat who ran from her, so she may do better in a home without kitties. She also would do best in a home without small children; she loves stuffed animals and doesn't always want to give them up. Because of this, she would also be best as an only dog or with a laid back dog who is okay with Rosie having all the stuffies. History: Rosie was adopted from Bully Paws as a puppy at 14 weeks old. We thought she had found her happily ever after; we saw Rosie around the community with her new family as she grew into a well-behaved young girl. The family also adopted another dog from another local group. Unfortunately, the happily ever after did not last forever for these two pups. In September of 2013, we received a phone call from an animal shelter in Florida. Rosie and her adopted buddy were turned in as strays. Her buddy was suffering from skin issues. Luckily, Rosie's microchip led the shelter back to Bully Paws. We frantically attempted to reach her adoptive home, sure they were heartbroken and searching for their little girl and her friend. After what seemed like an endless search, we discovered the adoptive family was actually the same family who surrendered Rosie and her friend to the shelter, lying and claiming both were strays. The county they were surrendered to did not adopt out stray pit bulls. The only hope for these dogs was to get them from Florida back to Virginia. Two of our dedicated volunteers hopped in their cars and drove several very long days to get these dogs back to safety. Rosie is now in a foster home and doing great. She is house trained, crate trained and healthy. We can't say what has happened to her in the past four years, but she is adapting to life in her foster home and is ready for her true happily FOREVER after to come along.

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
