Personality:
Roz is a shy, gentle little girl who has seen far more of life than any puppy ever should. She finds comfort in the quiet moments, happily curling up for a snooze in a warm, cosy spot, although if your lap is available, that's easily her favourite place to be. While she can be a little reserved at first, her playful puppy spirit starts to shine with a little encouragement, especially when a squeaky toy catches her attention. Beneath her timid exterior is a sweet, affectionate soul with the most irresistible flirty, soulful eyes that have a remarkable talent for convincing you she definitely deserves just one more treat.
Tamariki – 16+ as she needs consistency and confidence building.
Cats – Ok with cats with proper intros and training.
Kūri – Interested to meet. Needs ongoing socialisation.
Stock/poultry – Untested.
Size – Currently 7.2kgs. Likely to mature large in size
Ideal home:
Roz is searching for a calm, patient home where she can finally leave her worries behind and discover just how kind the world can be. She will thrive with a family who understands that trust takes time and is happy to let her learn at her own pace, celebrating every little milestone along the way. An older, confident and gentle dog could be a wonderful role model, helping show her that new experiences don't have to be scary. Ongoing positive training, gentle socialisation and plenty of encouragement will help Roz continue to grow in confidence while always feeling safe, loved and supported.
She has spent enough of her life wondering if the world is safe. Now she's just waiting for someone to show her that it is.
