Adoptable Pet of the Week - Rosie

Rosie

Here is Rosie- a beautiful shepherd mix. She’s good with other dogs and a very nice girl that is getting overlooked for too long. We hope you all can help us share Rosie! Rosie spent two months at the shelter without a break. Volunteer AnnaMaria changed that today with Rosie’s first field trip adventure!

“ She easily hopped into my vehicle. Did well on the car ride. We walked a trail in Clarksville, Indiana and she did well on the leash with no pulling. She knows sit and down commands. She’s very affectionate and loves to be pet. She enjoyed a pup cup just before dropping her off. Hope this girl finds her forever home soon ”

Rosie is around 4-ys old, keeps her kennel clean, and does well with other dogs on leash.

Rosie is hopeful you’ll see her pretty face & fall in love.

3516 Newburg Rd, Louisville Open daily 12–6pm
