Rose's Story

From Kennel Life to Cuddle Life: Meet Rose <br/><br/>We’re so surprised that this little lady hasn’t had more interest yet! <br/><br/>Maybe it’s her age? Rose is 7½ years old — which is barely middle-aged for a small breed dog — and she has so many happy, love-filled years ahead. Or maybe it’s her coat? Her hair was kept short during her breeder days and became a bit stained, but it’s already growing out softer, longer, and whiter by the day. Just wait until you see her glow-up in person!<br/><br/> Rose is a 6.5-lb Maltese sweetheart who spent her early years as a breeder dog. Now, she’s learning what it means to be cherished — and she’s discovering that life as a loved pet is pretty wonderful.<br/><br/>She’s a little shy at first, but once she knows you’re kind, she absolutely loves to be held and cuddled. She’s gentle, quiet, and not at all nippy — just a tenderhearted girl who wants to love and be loved. Her foster mom says she’s blossoming more each day with patient care and affection.<br/><br/>Rose is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines. She’s doing well with kennel cleanliness and knows to potty outside when taken, but she still wears a diaper indoors (and honestly, she rocks it like a fashion statement ). With consistency and patience, she’ll keep improving.<br/><br/>She gets along beautifully with other small dogs and would likely be fine with cats or gentle larger dogs. Respectful children who understand how to handle tiny pups would be just fine too.<br/><br/> Rose may be small, but her heart is huge — and she’s ready to find someone who will help her continue her journey from kennel life to cuddle life.<br/><br/>Apply today to meet Rose at adoptapal.org/adopt adoption fee is $500.
