Meet Rosita ❤️

Female
Age: 5 Years Old
Weight: 60 lbs
Breed: Kelpie / Terrier Mix
Spayed (Fixed)
Vaccinated
Microchipped
Healthy & Adoption-Ready

Rosita is a strong, intelligent girl with a big personality and an even bigger heart-she just needs the right person to understand her.

At five years old, Rosita knows who she is. She's confident, active, and thrives when she has structure and clear guidance. She's not a dog for everyone-but for the right, experienced home, she will be an incredibly loyal and rewarding companion.

Personality

Rosita is energetic, smart, and deeply devoted once she bonds with her person. She has a strong presence and does best with clear boundaries and consistency. She enjoys activity, engagement, and having a purpose-she's not the type to just sit around all day.

She can be food territorial, which means she will need an experienced owner who understands dog behavior and is comfortable managing feeding routines and structure. With the right guidance, she settles well and forms a strong, trusting bond.

Breed Info

As a Kelpie / Terrier mix, Rosita combines two driven and intelligent breeds:

The Kelpie brings high intelligence, energy, and a strong work ethic
The Terrier adds alertness, determination, and personality

This mix creates a dog who is loyal, active, and thrives with leadership. She will do best in a home that can provide both physical exercise and mental stimulation.

Ideal Home

Rosita is looking for an experienced dog owner who understands structure, training, and boundaries. She would do best in a home where she has clear guidance, consistency, and someone confident in handling strong, smart dogs.

Owner Responsibilities

Rosita will need regular exercise, mental stimulation, and ongoing structure. Training and consistency are key to helping her succeed. She is a dog who will give back everything you put into her.

Things to Consider

Rosita is not a beginner dog. She requires experience, patience, and commitment. Please ensure your lifestyle and experience level match her needs before applying.

The 3-3-3 Rule

3 days to decompress
3 weeks to learn your routine
3 months to fully settle

With time and consistency, Rosita will form a deep and loyal bond.

Veterinary Care

Rosita is fully vetted, but we always recommend bringing her to your own veterinarian after adoption to continue her care.

Important Note

Rosita is a family dog, and is not to be chained or left outside.
