Rosalind's foster mom describes this adorable, six-month-old little girl like this: Rosie is the best

companion anyone could ask for, she is next to me all the time either for cuddles, a ride in the car or to play

fetch. Rosie is a great watchdog and lets me know when someone is close by. Rosie is active and

spontaneous and is always up for something new. She is also calm and will sit on my lap or my children's

laps when we are on the couch. Rosie loves to play fetch, she retrieves the ball like a pro over and over and

over, and is willing to play as long as you are. Rosalind is now ready for a loving forever home, but to get

to this place, Rosalind had to face an unexpected and scary challenge. Hero's a bit of her story: When The

Rescued Dog saved Rosalind and her siblings at just two weeks old, Rosalind stood out as the most fun-

loving and fearless one of the Chihuahua-mix litter. Luckily, all were placed together with a loving foster

family who provided for the puppies needs for socialization, house manners and nurturing. While the other

pups were adopted out as soon as they were old enough, Rosalind had a problem. When Rosie was 4 weeks

old, the vets discovered she had a serious heart murmur, which required surgery - and fundraising - to

correct. She has now recovered from the procedure and her veterinarian reports that it was a complete

success with no further treatment needed. A dog lives in the moment and even with what she's been

through, Rosalind wakes up ready for another fun day knowing she can trust people and is cared about.

And while this girl may be tiny at just 5 pounds, she thinks she is Mighty-Dog, wrestling and playing with

confidence! Rosalind is completely house trained; crate trained and does very well on leash. She also

adores all dogs, big and small, and would be great in a family with children of all ages. At her size and age,

she may even do well with cats. If you are interested in meeting Rosalind, please fill out an application at
