ESTIMATE WEIGHT FULL GROWN: 45 lbs KNOWN WITH DOGS: Rose needs slow introductions to other dogs in order to be comfortable with them. KNOWN WITH CATS: Rose has not yet met a cat so we do not know KNOWN WITH KIDS: Rose has met and seems to enjoy humans of all ages. She has lived with small children and done very well. KNOWN COMMANDS: She has the basics down pat! She loves playing fetch. KNOWN HOUSEBREAKING &/OR CRATING: Rose has been doing a great job with both house training and crate training! She's pretty chill so her foster mom leaves her out of the crate when Rosie is home alone. KNOWN LIKES: Treats. Exercise. Mental and physical exercise. Dogs of all sizes. People of all ages. KNOWN DISLIKES: None known at this time! Rose's foster says: "Rose is a delightful 5-6 year old lady who was surrendered when her owner could no longer afford to take care of her. She is a healthy, happy girl who knows basic commands and appreciates the comforts of a home and has been a stellar houseguest. She is house trained, crate trained, walks well on a leash, and really just likes to be near the humans she chooses to attach herself to, preferably on the couch. She is excited to go for walks, sniff new things, and explore her space, but after a bit of activity is ready for quiet time and a nap. She doesn't seem to be interested in toys so far, but thinks treats are awesome, and it shows. Perhaps her new family could reward her with more play and attention than treats. She has shown herself to be a really good, well behaved, quiet girl who just wants to hang out and check in periodically by getting some pets and attention. Fun fact: Rose is ambidextrous! When she is getting a good scratch by her humans, her scratch reflex affects both her left and right hind legs. Additional observations: She went into her crate willingly (we put a few treats in), was fine when we close the door, and she didn't make a sound and slept all night. Rose makes for a good coworker, she is pretty quiet and just wants occasional pets and butt rubs. Otherwise she just sleeps. We met both adults and kids (a baby and a 5-year-old) on our walks, and she was great. Wags her tail so much I think she might wag it right off! She loves the attention and was very gentle and gave a little lick when the 5 year old petted her. We've been getting her on a schedule for feeding (twice per day), and she has been eating it all (we've been mixing dry with a bit of wet food). She likes car rides!"
