About dogs named Rosa

The following are 17 profiles of dogs named Rosa from our database of 55 dogs with the name Rosa.

• “I am a rescue and know I have it good. I'm bashful and only get a bit scared if I feel like I can't get back away from a dog. I love going to Camp BowWow for doggy day care and I do really well there with all the other dogs.“

  — Daniel E.

• “Quiet and fox-like. Loves playing with her brother Clyde, but would otherwise prefer to nap all day.“

  — Katie G.

• “Rosa is a mid-aged rescue. She's a sensitive Rottweiler mix who finds the world a little overwhelming at times. We are working to build her confidence in new areas - especially new outdoor areas. She is dog selective - and very selective when it comes to female dogs. She has some reactivity to things like bikers, runners, delivery trucks.“

  — Megan M.

• “Big sweetheart! Bigger girl! German Shepard puppy. Will want to say high and let you know with the happiest whined and barks“

  — Jace K.

• “I’m Rosa! I’m a 6 year old pit-bull terrier mix, and I love running thru the woods and tackling my little brother Ernie! I’m overall a very good dog but I’ve become more dog selective as I’ve gotten older and have some leash reactivity that I’m working very hard on (I can ignore dogs on leash now pretty well!). Sniffspot is perfect for me so thank you to everyone who gives me the opportunity to safely free run and chase balls the way I love to do!“

  — Maggie B.

• “I like to run...my prey drive is on point....I don't mind humans as long as they give me space....other dogs however make me bristle“

  — Michelle M.

• “I have really bad anxiety so I do not get along with other dogs except for my brother Charlie. I am a runner so a fenced secured yard would be the best for me. I might act mean at first but I am super sweet after you get to know me I am 9 years old“

  — B C.

• “Rosa has been with me since 2017, when I was diagnosed with breast cancer. She has been an amazing friend gor my daughter, who was 4 yr old at the time. Rosa has been a mermaid, princess, been to birthday parties, been a guest to tea time, and so much more. Rosa is goingto be 9 yrs old and she has slowed down a bit. She enjoys walks, going hiking and is always in a rush to reach the summit, kayaking, going camping and likes to go swiming but only to cool down. Rosa is sweet, but no longer likes other dogs. She is friends with my beagle Chata.“

  — Monica M.

• “I am Rosa. I am a lab and a hound mix. I’m a little shy at first until I get comfortable with you. I love to play with my brother Arnold. I love you smells and I love to run and explore.“

  — Lisa B.

• “Hi! I'm Rosa and I absolutely love being called a good girl and I do my best to be one. I didn't have a very good start in life but my new family is quickly changing that! I love car rides and treats and couch cuddles with mom. I may only have three legs but I still get zoomies sometimes. Like I said, I didn't have a good start in life so while I love meeting new people both young and old, I'm not so good with other dogs yet so I prefer to be the only one around if possible.“

  — Amy L.

• “I'm shy around other animals and I only like my people. After years of shelter life and many "trial" adoptions, I finally found my very own forever family! I'm very protective of my people!“

  — Ann W.

• “I’m a big malinois that was abandoned as a puppy and put in a rescue where my mom found me. I am medium drive malinois that is very happy and still learning“

  — suzie p.

• “Rosa is very friendly! She tends to be a bit of a loner. She prefers the company of humans to other dogs. We joke that she is the grouchy little old lady of the bunch.“

  — Brittney E.

• “Rosa is around 5, she’s loyal, sweet, and protective of her family. She was charged an attacked by a loose neighbor dog, leaving her fearful and seemingly aggressive. We’re working very hard to rebuild her confidence with the help of a positive reinforcement trainer.“

  — Michele M.

• “I’m a spoiled old lady who likes to sniff and run around on my own.“

  — Megan W.
