🐕 ROSIE 🐕
BREED: Labrador x Kelpie
GENDER: Female
AGE: 5 months

Meet Rosie!

Rosie is a gorgeous girl with a cheeky personality, a huge heart, and plenty of puppy energy. Like any good pup, she is very food motivated and always appreciates a tasty snack.

Rosie loves being outside, playing fetch, and putting her nose to work. She’s also a bit of a clumsy athlete, still growing into her long legs, so watching her zoom around is guaranteed to provide plenty of laughs.

Rosie is a little reserved when meeting new people and experiencing new things. Rosie will need people who are happy to take things slowly, give her space, and allow her to experience new things at her own pace. Once she decides you’re her person, though, she’ll happily become your shadow. She loves sleeping at your feet while you work or curling up beside you on the couch.

Rosie has had a rough start to life, and will need a patient family who understands that confidence takes time. She is beginning to manage short periods being left alone and is learning that her people always come back. She's a good sleeper overnight in her crate, beside her carers’ bed and enjoys calming music while she settles.

She's a smart girl who wants to please her humans and is already learning her name, walking on lead, sitting when asked, and becoming more confident with her house training. Her new family will need to be strongly committed to ongoing training and socialisation to help her grow into a happy, well-mannered adult dog.

Rosie loves playing with the resident dog and would benefit from having a calm, confident older dog in her forever home to help guide her and show her the ropes.

Rosie’s ideal home:
- Active people who can keep up with her as she grows and her energy increases
- A family committed to ongoing training and positive socialisation
- A confident, dog-savvy older dog would be a big bonus
- Dog-savvy older children who can respect her boundaries and give her space, at this stage Rosie is a little too boisterous for very young children
- People who are home most of the time while she learns how to adjust, as she cannot be left alone for extended periods
- A family willing to introduce new experiences slowly and at Rosie’s pace
- Plenty of exercise, enrichment, play, and eventually lots of adventures!

Rosie is still very much a puppy, and while she needs plenty of rest now, her activity levels will increase as she grows. Her forever family needs to be prepared to grow with her and give her the training, structure, patience and enrichment she needs.

If you’re looking for a playful, affectionate, slightly goofy companion who will eventually become your loyal shadow, Rosie might just be your girl.

Rosie is desexed, microchipped, desexed, up to date with vaccinations, flea and worm treatments.

Meet Minni!

Status: Independent queen, recently single, now accepting applications for a loyal companion not a lover.

When Miss Minnesota’s person passed away, her world turned upside-down. Weeks alone trying to figure out what was going on, where her lady was and then a stint in the pound—it’s no wonder this pretty lady arrived with a little spice. But beneath that attitude is a very smart, sweet, funny, fiercely independent cat who just needs the right human to understand her rhythm.

About the Queen:
Miss Minni isn’t looking for a clingy servant. She wants company, not captivity. She’ll hang out beside you all day, supervise your hobbies, and chat in the sweetest meow while you potter—but she’ll decide when pats or showers of love happen.

She does entertain herself adorably which is just gorgeous to watch even if you are not included. She’s playful in her own eccentric way—think kung-fu paws, surprise ninja moves, that is part of her play style – when she wants to play her zoomies will delight you. Minni is more of a showgirl than play with me kind of girl. You will be invite to watch her play just not likely invited to join in. She’s got a sensitive tummy too, so a spoonful of Jalna Greek Yoghurt each day keeps both her gut health and her mood balanced. We can talk diet more with her forever family.

Her Ideal Palace:
- Calm, steady home—no kids, no cats, no dogs and hell no share-house chaos
- Someone mature, maybe retired, who enjoys quiet companionship
- A person who values presence over pats
- A person who can provide an indoor life she can watch the world from —she’s earned her peace
- Minni’s patience is thin so a solo home where she can truly shine is what this angel diva needs and has always had. She doesn’t want competition for attention or resources; she wants her throne, her sunbeam, and her human within conversational distance.

Give her that, and you’ll see her unfold again—softly, like a rose remembering how to bloom.

Summary:
Not for the faint-hearted or the hug-hungry. Perfect for someone who appreciates independence, honesty, and a respectable bit of sass. She has been a great office buddy, her energy and presence is beautiful & we are inclined to believe she meows both Serbian and English.

Minni is desexed, microchipped, up to date with vaccinations, flea and worm treatments.

I adopted a wonderful companion ‘cat’ that sounds exactly like Minnie. It has taken a little while, but she is now my constant companion, or should I say ‘boss’. We play chasey! She ‘helps’ me make the bed! She wakes me in the morning. She tells me when its dinner time. We sit together, just ‘shooting the breeze.’ The best decision I made.

Today is all about celebrating the dogs who make us laugh, keep us company and give the best cuddles. But most importantly, today is a reminder that every dog deserves to feel safe, loved and wanted. ❤️

So, from all of us at Geelong Animal Rescue, and especially the gorgeous dogs currently in our care, Happy International Dog Day! 🐾
