Rosemary aka Jessie - English Bulldog and Shepherd Dog for Adoption in Shorewood, Illinois

Hi there - I'm Rosemary, and I'm a 6-month-old Bulldog mix ready to steal your heart! I'm already spayed and tipping the scales at a solid 50 pounds, so what you see is what you get. I absolutely love people and other dogs, and I'm great with kids too, which means I'll fit right into your family adventures.
I love spending time hanging with my people, but also love chasing a ball or a good game of tag with my canine friends. I am good at going potty outside and prefer snuggling next to my people in bed instead of sleeping in a crate.
I would love to find a furever family that will teach me lots of tricks and promise to be my furever home. I am love learning and especially love the treats I get when I am learning something new.
