My story
My name is Rosa and I am a Basset mix who was found as a stray. Best guess is that
I'm about 4 years old. I've got a big Basset personality and love to play as much as I
love to nap and will bring only joy into my forever family's life!
I am house-trained, crate trained, and can even use a doggie door. I enjoy going on
walks to say hi to my friends and am leaning to be a little less excited and take time to
smell the roses. I am generally quiet with not much to say. I do like to remind my foster
family that I am ready to go with them too when they leave for the day. But quickly settle
down for a snooze until they return. I love being with my family and am very interested
in what they are doing, often trailing behind from room to room.
I enjoy playing with toys and stuffies don't stand a chance with me! I hope my new
home has a fenced yard because I do get a burst of energy now and again and just
need to run! I love people and children but might be best in a home with older children
as my playfulness and energy might be a little much for toddlers. I get along with other
dogs and sometimes need to let them know I'm the boss. I definitely don't do well with
cats, so a feline-free home is best for me!
I may need a little direction at times, and can't say no to belly rubs or treats. But in
return, you'll get a loving, cuddly, happy gal to light up your life! Please contact BROOD
today!!! My adoption fee is $250.00.
**Only BROOD approved adopters can meet a dog (no exceptions). Our adoption
application is on the BROOD website at https://brood-va.org/adoptionapp/. We adopt to
residents of Virginia, Maryland, West Virginia, DC, Delaware and southern
Pennsylvania. Do not apply to adopt from BROOD if you live in another state. We
require a virtual home visit and a veterinary reference.
The age of many BROOD dogs is unknown, as very few come with official records. The
estimate on the dog's age is usually the initial estimate given by the receiving shelter,
which may be different from that given at the time of the initial checkup. Different
veterinarians may also give different ages, and those different opinions are sometimes
reflected on the record. ***BROOD's adoption fees are determined based on the age of
the dog. 02/04/2023
If you have any questions or would like to adopt Rosa, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
