Rosie is a very sweet dog. She loves to cuddle and play with her ball. She is very energetic but also knows when it is time to sleep. Rosie is a senior dog—birthdate August 15, 2014. She is 8 years old. We adopted her August 2020. At first she did really well, but has gotten worse with our other red heeler to the point where it is no longer safe for our dogs to be in the same room. We have gone through a year of training to no avail. She does have arthritis and anxiety that she is medicated for. We have her paperwork since she was a puppy. Her former owner passed away and she ended up with us. She’s originally from Idaho according to her paperwork. She was then placed in a home with another dog who she also didn’t get along with. We’ve come to the conclusion that she needs to be in a home with no other pets. Not sure about kids. We have an infant and she has been fine with her but not sure about toddler age. I am heartbroken we have to rehome her and want her to go to a good family.
