Rose needs someone to love for her to truly bloom

Meet Rosa! She's 3 years old and is truly a next-level EXPERT at playing ball. Rosa's been with us for 2 months now and has been consistently overlooked. Rosa is scared to trust, so it takes time to get to know her. She doesn't wear her heart on her paw, but once she accepts you she is an absolute love.

Because she takes a little longer to get to know, not many people have given this sweet girl a chance. She requires someone with patience to dedicate the time to help her feel comfortable and someone who is willing to be an advocate for her while she works to overcome her stranger danger issues. She's looking for a high-energy but low-traffic home with an experienced owner who will provide her with endless amounts of fetch and snuggles. Pup friends are a possibility, but she'll need a cat-free home and preferably one with children 14+. Could you be the person to give Rosa her second chance at a happy life? Come meet her and find out.
