Meet Rosie VII
5/13/2026 Rosie VII is an owner surrender looking for a new home. Hi! My name is Rosie VII ! I am a beautiful 8 year old flashy fawn girl that is an owner surrender due to declining health of a family member and I am not cat friendly with the cats in the home. I am described as active, smart, playful, affectionate, and nervous! I am picky about my dog friends and am leash reactive when I see a dog I do not know, so a slow and proper introduction is needed. I currently live with 2 male pitbull mixes and a goldendoodle and while we do get along well, it took a bit for me to warm up to them. There are three cats in the home and I do not like them and will chase them so I need a home with no cats for everyone's safety. There is a 14 year old kid in my home and I am great with them and other kids I have had contact with. When I see new people I am uncertain and will bark at them but need time to warm up. I am house trained but will need assistance with crate training in my forever home if it is required. At night I sleep in a bed with any family member and if the humans must be away, I have shown some separation anxiety. When outside I have good behavior and do not dig but I have jumped a kiddie gate when left behind one. I am fearful of quick movements and it is suspected I was previously not treated well. Some of my favorite things are riding in the car, cuddling, running, and sleeping under the blankets with the humans! My current owner says I am "a very sweet girl" and I agree! If you think I would make a great addition to your family and you are willing to be patient and help me gain confidence and socialization skills, contact the rescue today because I am waiting to meet you!

Adopting Rosie VII — FAQ
How do I adopt Rosie VII?

Is Rosie VII still available for adoption?
Rosie VII's listing is refreshed regularly, but availability can change quickly as dogs are adopted. Always confirm Rosie VII is still available directly with Austin Boxer Rescue before making plans.
Is Rosie VII a senior dog?
Yes. Every dog listed on Lily's Second Chance, including Rosie VII, is a senior — generally age 7 or older. Senior dogs are often already house-trained and calm, and they wait the longest for a home.
Can I foster Rosie VII instead of adopting?
Some shelters and rescues offer a foster-to-adopt path — you foster first, then complete the adoption if the match feels right. Check Rosie VII's profile for the organization's contact details and ask them directly whether a fostering option is available.
What should I expect in the first weeks after adopting Rosie VII?
Senior dogs typically have a brief adjustment period of a few days to a couple of weeks as they settle into a new home. They may be quiet or shy at first, then relax once they feel safe. A calm routine, a comfortable place to sleep, and patience usually make the transition smooth. Most senior dogs settle in faster than puppies because they are already past the demanding early stage.
Is Rosie VII good with children or other pets?
Compatibility depends on the individual dog's history and personality more than age or breed alone. Austin Boxer Rescue can tell you about Rosie VII's known behavior around children, cats, and other dogs. Many organizations offer a meet-and-greet before finalizing an adoption to make sure the match is right for everyone.
