Meet Rosie! She is a friendly and whip-smart 3-month-old Border Collie puppy looking for a forever home with an active adopter that has herding dog experience. She will likely weigh 40 – 5o pounds as an adult. She’s a happy girl that gets along with other dogs and loves spending time with her people. She can be a bit shy with strangers, but give her 5 minutes and she’s your best friend! Rosie is one of a large group of dogs that were living in neglectful conditions and were confiscated by animal control. Currently in foster care, this sweet girl is ready to leave the past behind her and become a shining star in a family of her own. She is doing well with house training, and is getting the hang of walking on the leash.  She’ll do well with a savvy adopter that can continue her training, and can keep her both mentally and physically active. Herding breeds are working dogs, and without a job they can become bored and potentially destructive. Rosie might be a great candidate for agility training, herding or other dog sports. This breed can tend to “herd” kids by nipping at heels, so an adult adopter or family with kids over age 10 would be best. Rosie is spayed and has received her first vaccine. She will require boosters in the near future. If you are ready to help this sweet pup live her best life, please fill out an online application.
