Rosie - Pit Bull Terrier Dog for Adoption in Shelby, Michigan

Meet Rosie!

Approx. 2-year-old female Pittie mix
45 lbs

If happiness had four legs and a wagging tail, it would probably look a whole lot like Rosie!

Rosie is still new to us, but one thing became obvious very quickly: this girl is PURE JOY. She approaches life with enthusiasm, excitement, and a whole lot of love. Adopt Rosie and we’re pretty sure boring days will become a thing of the past!

Rosie LOVES kids! She’s an enthusiastic little wild child, though, so older children would probably be the best match simply because she may accidentally knock over a smaller kid while sharing all that happiness.

Rosie can do well with male dogs, but she is not a fan of female dogs, so any canine siblings should be boys.

We’re still unsure about cats. She may be able to adjust to living with them, especially if the cats have their own safe space while everyone gets used to one another.

Don’t let her 45-pound size fool you because Rosie is STRONG! She’ll benefit from a family willing to continue working on her manners and help her learn how to channel all that enthusiasm.

Rosie isn’t looking for a quiet life on the sidelines. She wants to be part of the fun, part of the family, and right in the middle of everything you do.

If you’re looking for a happy, affectionate, slightly wild bundle of sunshine who will make you smile every single day, come meet Rosie!
