About This Dog for Adoption

Rosie's ideal home

This cute curly haired girl is Rosie! She is a 3 month old Shih Tzu X Poodle Crossbreed who has so much energy for all the fun things in life. Rosie is a typical puppy, she is inquisitive, playful, and will need all the usual training and socialisation. Rosie is still learning her manners, and likes to use her teeth to play when she gets excited. This can be managed with a solid routine and training, but it may be a bit much for other pets and younger children in the home. For this reason, Rosie is looking for a home with no other pets and where everyone is over the age of 12. As Rosie is still a puppy and not yet housetrained, it would be great if her adopter is able to be at home with her to begin with. Ater she has settled in, leaving time will be able to be gradually increased. Rosie is currently on some medication, this can be discussed further with our Adoption Team if they contact you about being a potential match for her.

Could you be Rosie's perfect match?

Rosie has been keeping us all busy in the Rehoming Centre! She is a very playful little lady, and she absolutely loves her toys. It is adorable to watch her play, she has the funniest little personality! Rosie has so much potential with training as she is showing that she is both food and toy motivated. Rosie would love an adopter that will take her out and about for fun adventures and let her run around and explore in enclosed areas. If you think Rosie could be the dog for you, please submit an adoption application and include Rosie as a 'Favourite' dog. Thank you!
