Other times she will basically throw your arm out of the way by nudging it with her nose so she can get right in that side-saddle cuddle spot. We love a girl who knows what she wants and gets it! Her love of people does not stop at the little ones- she instantly connected with 7 year old Cash when she met him. From the moment they met she gave him love and gentle kisses, someone even asked if they had already met- thats how loving and familiar the meeting was. <br/><br/>With dogs, Rosemary is great company. She’s a thinker and an observer, over being the playful type- preferring calm energy over chaos. Leash greetings with new dogs are polite and friendly and when the group of dogs gets to playing and rough housing- Rosemary will happily watch from the sidelines with a peaceful presence. She does best with mellow dogs who respect her space and will happily coexist without crowding her. This is also a girl that would be perfectly happy as an only-dog. You and yours are all she really needs or wants.<br/><br/>With people,she’s pure affection. She will thrive in a home that appreciates her adoring loyalty and smarts, maybe with a yard where she can wander and sniff to her heart’s content, or even an apartment with enriching walks and a comfy couch to call her own. One small no for her is simple- no cats for this girl (she’s a little too curious about them), but kids? She’s shown she’s wonderful with them and would make a great tag-along gal for adventures. She has just the right mix of playful and polite for gentle children.<br/><br/>Equal parts independent spirit and cuddle connoisseur, in other words, your dream dog! <br/>Ready to welcome her home? <br/><br/>Apply here:https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/68ee74743b4ee4462401a0e5<br/>Questions?
