Rosalind - Shepherd Dog for Adoption in Wake Forest, North Carolina

*** AVAILABLE ON-SITE STARTING WEDNESDAY 9/2 ***
Rosalind is as lovely as her name suggests. With a frame that promises she'll grow into a sleek girl (those paws don't lie!), this intelligent and sweet pup is the kind of companion who makes life better just by existing.

What sets Rosalind apart? Those magnificent ears that criss-cross over her head like a delicate tiara. They're impossible to miss and utterly endearing.

This girl is a rare combination of traits: she's highly intelligent, excellent with small children, and loves the company of larger dogs. She's also wonderfully independent-a pup who's perfectly content entertaining herself. On warm days, you'll find her soaking up the sunshine with a serene expression, completely at peace.

Rosalind is built for activity. She loves to run and has mastered the art of ball retrieval. Her sense of play is spirited but controlled-she's a wrestler with other dogs but not a chronic barker, which makes her an easy neighbor too. She's reliably crate trained for both sleeping and meals from 9 PM to 6:30 AM, though fair warning: those big paws of hers seem determined to flip her food bowl at every opportunity. It's not mischief; it's just Rosalind being Rosalind.

Rosalind is the kind of girl who fits beautifully into active families, households with other pets, or homes where she can be a confident, independent companion. She's got everything: brains, heart, and a tiara-shaped crown of ears to boot.
