ROSIE - MALTESE / MIXED (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Maltese / Mixed (medium coat). **Rosie doesn't shed, but we cannot guarantee that she is allergy-friendly.** Rosie is the cutest little girl around! Rosie is estimated to be around 10 years old, but don't let her age fool you - she is a tiny girl with a big personality! Rosie is the perfect mix of a lap dog and walking buddy and would be a wonderful companion for a retired person or couple. She charms everyone she meets with her bubbly personality, with just a sprinkle of sass. She currently weighs about 5.5lbs. Rosie was found as a stray and brought to a local animal shelter. No one came forward to claim her, so we were more than happy to have her come to us. She has been thriving in foster care and can't wait to find her fur-ever home! Rosie is a sweet little girl who is impossible not to love. She is affectionate, playful, confident, and oh-so cute. She's the type of dog who gets mistaken for a stuffed animal! She is big on cuddles and also loves her daily walks. She would love a family that wants a dog to bring everywhere and be part of whatever the day brings. She loves car rides and hops right into her bed in the car to venture into town. Rosie has done great living with other small/medium dogs and could be a wonderful addition to a home with other easygoing pups. She also wouldn't mind being your one and only - more attention for her! We haven't seen Rosie with cats, but suspect she would do well with cats based on her size and friendly personality. Rosie has been doing well living with a gentle kid and could be a wonderful addition to a family with respectful, dog-savvy kids. Rosie is pretty much housetrained, but likely will have some accidents while she is adjusting to a new home and routine. She does well being left alone with the other dogs in the home, and mostly hangs out in her bed. She has never been truly alone, so she would need to slowly be acclimated to that if you don't have other dogs. Rosie is used to sleeping in bed with her foster parents. She may do well living in an apartment. Rosie is non-shedding, and her fur type requires routine professional grooming to keep it from getting matted. Her new family will need to be prepared to pay for regular grooming appointments to keep her fur healthy. Being a small senior dog, Rosie will require some dental work in her new home. Please be prepared to afford that cost post-adoption. Rosie is such a wonderful little girl, and she is going to bring so much happiness to her new family.
