We are looking to find the perfect home for our girl Rosie.
Rosie is a beautiful purebred Aussie. She is 3 years old. She is spayed and fully up to date on all her shots. She is a cuddle bug, and loves her people fiercely! She is really great with our 11, 9, and 3 year old kids. She is also great with our other large dog, and they love to play and wrestle together. She is not good with our older, smaller dog, and cat, and has become aggressive towards them. We also have many kids in and out of our home, and yard to play, and she has shown signs of aggression towards some of the kids she isn’t familiar with. We are very busy parents and find we can’t give Rosie the attention and patience she needs and deserve. She could be a really amazing dog to someone who doesn’t have smaller animals, and a house full of unpredictable kids. She is sweet, very smart, and energetic. Ideally she would do great somewhere with lots of land or space to run around, and with someone who is experienced with Aussies or other herding breeds.
