I do well when accompanying you on errands I'm a little shy when it comes to meeting new people so my Trainer didn't think that I would be very happy working as a service dog. I get along great with other dogs. I'm told I'm the most popular girl at doggy daycare because I play well with all size dogs I know how to keep the fun going, but I also know how to get everybody to take a little breaks.

Read more about Rosie

Hi, I'm a sweet little low-riding cutie, about 4 years old, and I'm ready to start the next chapter of my life.
I've already been through so much. I recently raised six beautiful puppies, and now that they're growing up, it's finally my turn to find a family of my very own.
I'm already trained, patient, and have wonderful manners. I get along great with other dogs and love being around people, making me a perfect addition to almost any family.
My favorite things are the simple ones—going for walks, riding in the car with the windows cracked, curling up for a cozy nap, or just hanging out by your side while you go about your day. I'm happiest just being with the people I love.
All I'm looking for now is a forever home where I'll be loved as much as I've loved everyone else. If you're looking for a loyal companion with a gentle heart and so much love to give, I might just be the missing piece of your family.
Could that family be yours? ❤️

Adopting a dog with children in Jupiter

Bring the whole family to meet the dog before you adopt, and ask the rescue how the dog behaves around children your kids' ages.

Teach children to let the dog come to them, to stroke gently, and to leave the dog alone while it's eating or sleeping. Give the dog a bed or crate of their own to retreat to, and always supervise young children with a new dog.

Relaxed adult dogs are often a better match for young children than puppies, which jump up, nip and chew while they learn.
