Once in the rescue, she went to live with our trainer, and we discovered that Rose is a sweet, lovable, funny, cuddle-bug. She is not in a foster home and loving life! She gains confidence from other dogs and we would like to see her in a home with at least one other dog. We are totally committed to making sure that Rose lives the rest of her life happy, loved, safe, and secure. Our trainer will work with the family to ensure a smooth transition.
