Meet Rosey! This adorable 2-year-old, 55-pound sweetheart is looking for her forever home. Rosey is house-trained, crate-trained, and described as "the sweetest baby you've ever met." She's incredibly loving towards people and is eager to learn. She loves cuddling and kisses. However, Rosey does best in a home without other animals, as she can get a bit anxious around other animals. If you have a loving heart and a peaceful home ready to welcome this beautiful girl, you might be the perfect match! To adopt Rosey and give her the loving home she deserves, please complete an adoption application at ITVrescue.org. Let's make Rosey's dream of a forever home come true!
