Jack Russell Terrier and Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler Dogs Available for Adoption

Rosie is a sweet, playful puppy who's ready to find a family to grow up with! She's great with dogs and kids, and her sweet as pie personality makes her an easy addition to a happy home.
As a young pup, Rosie is still working on potty training, but she's smart and eager to lear, she'll thrive with consistency and guidance. She does well in her crate at night and settles in nicely, making bedtime smooth and predictable.
Rosie loves to play and will occasionally get the zoomies, but they're short-lived and always entertaining! She also enjoys playing in water, riding in the car, and curling up in your lap for some quiet cuddle time.
With her intelligence and affectionate personality, Rosie has all the potential to become a wonderfully trained, loyal companion.
If you're looking for a fun, loving puppy to train and grow with, Rosie could be the perfect fit.

Rosie is from Texas. They arrive in Minnesota on 05/16/2026 and will need to be picked up from the Ruff Start Rescue office in Princeton, MN between the hours of 9ama nd noon. Please plan for their arrival accordingly as we cannot accommodate pickups outside of this time frame. Since they haven't arrived yet, they are available exclusively through Ruff Start's Foster to Adopt (FTA) Program. Visit our Foster to Adopt Program page to learn more. Once they get to Minnesota, they might require further veterinary care. Ruff Start's veterinary suite is located in Princeton, MN, and, as the foster, you will be required to transport your dog to and from these vetting appointments.
