Sweet and Cuddly Rosie
This approximatly 10-month-old sweetheart may look all grown up, but she has the sweet, playful nature of a puppy. Every dog she meets in a potential playmate, and every human is her very best friend. Even the household cat has succumbed to her charms, and will happily sleep on Rosie’s head.
Rosie probably did not have the best start in life. She came to the shelter with skin problems and no training whatsoever. Both of these issues are being resolved in foster care – her coat is looking great, and she is loving her new life as a family dog. She is now housetrained, and learning basic obedience, some advanced, tricks and crate training. She has no problems being left alone in the house during the day.
Like any young pittie, Rosie has a ton of energy and loves walking, running, and playing. Her foster mom thinks she’d do very well as a jogging partner. When her “off switch” has been activated you’ll find her lounging on the floor, sleeping underneath the cat or – her very favourite activity – snuggling with a human.
Rosie gets along well with other dogs, though she gets impatient and barky when she can’t meet and play. Continued controlled, positive socialization is a must, as well as teaching her self-control and manners around other dogs. With proper introductions Rosie would do great living with another dog or a dog-savvy cat.

Because she is young, Rosie’s new family should be aware that dog-to-dog sociability can change as she matures (as with any dog) and be prepared to set her up for success with lots of slow and positive introductions.
Her ideal family will provide lots of exercise, consistent rules and positive leadership. Rosie can be puppy-like and excitable, so continued work on basic obedience, loose-leash walking and house manners is advised. With the right home this bright little girl will learn fast and thrive, and have unlimited love to give. “Rosie’s googly eyes will melt your heart,” her foster mom writes. “She has so much love to give it’s ridiculous!”

Any puppy is a big commitment, and Jacob’s adoptive family should be prepared to continue with training, house-breaking, and socialization. A puppy kindergarten and/obedience class would be a great idea. It will be a while before he can be home on his own for long periods of time, but with the right training and upbringing, Jacob will continue to blossom into the sweet, loving and devoted dog he’s born to be!
