Rosie, 4 year old black lab, 52 lbs, Spayed
Background: Rosie’s owner passed away earlier this year, and her boarder/trainer was asked to take care of her. Unable to keep her, Golden Gate Lab Rescue was asked for help to rehome her.
What Rosie's Rescue Rep Says: Rosie is a beautiful purebred Black Lab with an engaging, friendly personality that wins people over wherever she goes. Although she’s spent most of her time with her family, she’s eager to meet new people and loves making new friends.
Coming from hunting lines, Rosie has the athleticism and enthusiasm you’d expect, but she’s been a cherished house dog all her life. She’s house-trained, crate-trained, and happily sleeps in her crate at night. She’s also not a barker, which makes her an especially easy companion around the home.
Rosie shines when it comes to playtime. She’s an enthusiastic fetcher and a strong swimmer—she’ll never say no to a game of fetch or a splash in the water! A home with a yard where she can stretch her legs and regular opportunities for exercise will keep her happy and balanced.
She knows some basic obedience but has mostly been allowed off-leash, so she’ll need a little refresher on leash skills. Like many Labs, she’s also been known to sneak snacks from the counter if given the chance!
Rosie enjoys playing with dogs she knows and has lived with both male and female dogs, mostly large dogs. With new dogs, she does best with slow introductions especially to overly enthusiast pups. She will ignore cats and other animals.
The ideal home for Rosie will be one where she isn’t left alone for long hours, has a yard to play in, and gets plenty of exercise and attention. She may do well with a calm canine companion, but a home where she's the only dog would be ideal as she loves being near her humans. Older children who can join in her fun would be best as she may be too jumpy for small kids/toddlers.
If you’re looking for a joyful, playful, and loyal Lab who will bring energy and love into your life, Rosie might just be your perfect match!
Medical: Rosie is a healthy girl, spayed and up to date on vaccines and preventatives.
