Rose Lavelle
AGE/ESTIMATED WEIGHT: 6 years old / 47 lbs
GENDER: Female
BIO: When I’m not tearing up the soccer field, you’ll probably find me saying hi to new friends. Seriously: I’ll approach anyone and everyone with my signature wiggly butt and infinite affection! When I’m not on the town, though, I love getting comfy and cuddling up with my people. I’m still getting used to all the sights and sounds of the big city, but I’m adjusting like a champ!
PERSONALITY: Entertaining, gentle, friendly

Rose Lavelle is a charisma machine with a heart to match. Found as a stray in rural Georgia, she’s now settling into city life with her trademark calm confidence and gentle charm. Walk down the street with Rose and you’ll see why: neighbors stop, strangers wave, and she happily accepts every pet and scratch offered. At the park, she picks a bench, sits beside you, and proceeds to people-watch like a pro, wagging her tail and radiating joy to everyone nearby.
Rose is moderate in energy, enjoying relaxed strolls, cuddles, and the occasional playful burst (like a squirrel sighting!). She’s friendly and outgoing, genuinely delighted by human company, but she balances affection with a polite independence — no clingy behavior here.
With other dogs, Rose is cautious and confident. She can give a gentle correction to overexcited puppies or older dogs, and her foster recommends slow, structured introductions rather than off-leash dog park encounters. She’s crate- and house-training savvy, with far fewer accidents as she learns the rhythms of her new home. Leash skills are improving every day, and she’s adapting well to city sounds and routines.
Rose’s favorite activities are simple and sweet: curling up in her crate, enjoying pets and belly rubs, walking to the park, and meeting people along the way. She even has a soft spot for toys — her lambie toy inspires some of her happiest, most playful moments.
If you’re looking for a gentle, affectionate, and charming companion who will make friends wherever she goes, Rose Lavelle is ready to bring her warmth, curiosity, and calm confidence to your home.

Found as a stray with another dog. A local Sheriff fed them for a month before deciding they must not have a home and our GA rescue partner stepped in. She traveled north in mid-October 2025.
