Rosie is one of six delightful little girls, already brimming with personality at just eight weeks old. This bright, curious, and social puppy is like a little sponge, eagerly soaking up every new sound, smell, and experience the world has to offer. She is ready to bond deeply with a family that understands the joy and commitment of raising a smart, engaging companion.
As a German Shepherd Dog and Belgian Malinois mix, Rosie is a thinking dog with an active spirit. She will thrive with consistent training, clear structure, and plenty of daily mental and physical exercise to help her grow into a confident, well-mannered adult. Known for their loyalty, intelligence, and devotion, dogs of this lineage love to work and learn alongside their human partners. Rosie is good with dogs, cats, and children, making her a versatile addition to many homes.
Rosie is seeking a home ready to invest the time, energy, and love required to raise her right. This includes routine veterinary care, vaccinations, spay appointments, quality food, training classes, and enrichment. Prospective adopters must be prepared for the significant commitment of puppyhood, understanding that she cannot be left alone for a standard 8-9 hour workday until she is at least 8 months old. Arrangements for 4-hour intervals of supervision will greatly assist with housebreaking and socialization.
