Rosie joined the Players for Pits family after being brought in as a stray and despite some scars from a potential collar injury, she crawled into the laps (and hearts) of her foster family the second she entered the home! She is the biggest cuddle bug and will always show you those puppy dog eyes when she is ready for some snuggles. Rosie is stunning red/chestnut pittie with the bright white chest and speckled paws.
Rosie loves to learn and is always up for some couch potato time or a walk. She is great with visitors and is always making a new best friend. If you're going on a trip or running some errands, Rosie is ready to backseat drive and join you on the road as well. She goes with the flow!
Rosie has quite the impressive resume! Rosie knows sit, paw, is potty trained, and even rings a bell when she wants to go outside. She is doing wonderful practicing stay, lay down, middle (standing in between your legs while you stand), and looking where prompted. She's a smart cookie! Rosie is such a fast learner and loves practicing her tricks. Got some kibble? The girl will do anything for a piece and loves to use snuffle mats, towels and lick mats. She is crate trained and is described to be a perfect angel in her crate! What else could you ask for?
Rosie would be a wonderful addition to any family because she truly loves with every inch of her being. She would do best as an only dog. You will always have a best friend once she is part of your family. Three words to describe Rosie? Sweetheart, smart, and trusting!

More about this rescue
Players for Pits is a 501c3, non profit rescue that connects professional athletes to the community in order to come together to take a stand against the abuse and neglect of animals. PFP serves the western suburbs of Chicago and is a foster based rescue, so the dogs in our care are in foster homes learning the basics of being a well balanced dog versus being in cages at loud boarding facilities.
The athletes involved in our rescue actively support the rescue efforts and help by spreading the word of dogs in need. It is the mission of Players for Pits to educate dog owners about proper pet care - both physical and mental - so that the dogs in our care can be happy, well balanced members of society. It is our goal to rescue dogs from high kill shelters and place them into loving homes in the suburbs. At Players for Pits we stand up for pit bulls, who's character is routinely tarnished and often misrepresented. We recognize the pit bull for what it is: a DOG. And any dog with the right care and owners can be a wonderful pet. While we are an advocate for pit bulls, we do not discriminate based on breed and will take in other breeds if they need you help. Players for Pits is also very active in the community and we co-host clinics to help struggling families maintain their pets health, we train pit bull type dogs to become therapy dogs for children with abusive backgrounds, and we try to involve the community in our goal to reduce pet abandonment.
