Rosie

UPDATE: We have had some questions about Rosie and Lilly. What we now know is the two had some issues between each other in their previous home, which has now carried over to the shelter. We have tried to let them interact, but it has not gone well. We have decided these two would do best apart and in separate homes.<br/><br/>Meet Rosie!<br/><br/>A 30lb, 2-year-old, Jack Russell Terrier who came to the shelter alongside her housemate, Lilly, after a sudden loss in her family. The big changes were overwhelming for her, and she arrived feeling very stressed and timid. With time, patience, and lots of consistency from our staff, Rosie has begun to show small but meaningful signs of coming out of her shell with the people she knows best.<br/><br/>Rosie does best when people listen to her boundaries. Because of this, she’s looking for a calm, understanding home with children who are teen age or older, where everyone can move at Rosie’s pace and let trust build naturally. She’ll need adopters who are patient, kind, and willing to give her the time she needs to feel safe and secure.<br/><br/>In the right home, with steady routines and gentle encouragement, Rosie has the potential to continue blossoming into a loving companion. If you’re someone who believes in going slow, celebrating small victories, and giving a dog the space to be herself, Rosie may be the perfect match for you.<br/><br/>We do all adoptions with approved applicants by appointment only.
