Notes from Rosie's caretakers:
Are you looking for loving, happy-go-lucky gal to keep you company? That's me, I'm your girl! Some of my favorite activities include taking up too much of your personal space on the couch, receiving belly rubs until I fall asleep, and sticking my tongue out at my humans. I should be the only dog in your house, as I am a little bit of a princess and don't always get along with other dogs. I absolutely love people though. I am crate-trained and house-trained, and I am totally fine on my own during the day while my foster parents are at work. I should tell you that I don't like enclosed stairs right now but my foster parents are working with me on that.

Calla Lily, retriever and Weimaraner mix
Calla Lily is a female retriever and Weimaraner mix being cared for at Second Chance Pet Adoptions - Adoption Center.
She has all of her shots, and she is spayed. She is 10-months-old.
Calla Lily's current caretakers say:
I am super sweet and love to be around humans since I am so curious to see what they are doing at all times. My human will definitely be my best friend. I am still a puppy and have puppy energy so a home with another dog and/or fenced yard to get my energy out would be best. However, if you don't have a yard, you can always take me on long walks or to the park. Active dogs like me the most since my puppy energy can be overwhelming for older or timid dogs and supervised introductions are important for this reason. My foster mom says that I am very smart girl and super trainable. I have already learned to go to my bed, sit, lie down, and I respond to 'no' very well. I am crate-trained and house-trained and am not destructive.
