Rosemary (Rosie) has a heart bigger than her head – an impressive feat for a blocky-headed dog. She leans her whole body into cuddles and will bring her toys right to your hand, wiggling in excitement to play with you. She can also read your energy and knows when to self-entertain if you’re not in the mood to play. She is moderate energy – she loves to run and play, but also tires out quickly, so no need to worry about multiple-hour walks. As long as she can get her energy out, Rosie would likely be fine with kids who are old enough to respect her boundaries and not get knocked over by zoomies. She is fully potty trained, and tolerates her crate but is left free-roaming at her foster home with no issues.
🐾
Despite being a sweet and loving dog, the world can be a scary place for Rosie – full of sudden movements and unfamiliar places. People are her anchor – from friendly strangers she happily greets at a bar to the full trust she builds with her humans, everything seems a little bit better when she has people to show her she’s safe.
🐾
The biggest part of keeping Rosie safe is regulating her interactions with other dogs. She has had several negative altercations with dogs in the past, and her continuing fear of dogs manifests itself as reactivity. She is muzzle trained for her own safety, and needs someone who can handle how hard a 50lb dog can pull on walks and help her keep her distance from other dogs who may be out.
🐾
Because of this fear, Rosie would be easiest as an only pet. However, she has happily lived with another dog in the past, and with lots of time, commitment, and patience, she could potentially be integrated with another dog in the future. The biggest factor would be humans who respect and enforce her boundaries and are committed to setting her up for success.

Rosie has a lot of love to give, and is ready to build her foundation with her forever home. Could that be you? Apply at the link in our bio! #caninecupids #adoptabled

If you love hanging with people that are the life of the party, you're gonna love Peanut! He's ready to party!
🐾
Peanut is a 14 month old, 52 pound, terrier mix. He's mostly potty trained, not crate trained but is non destructive and so trainable! Currently his party tricks are; Paws Up, Wait, Sit, Shake, Down. He's ready to learn more, what will you teach him?
🐾
This guy loves to play with dogs, he's working on learning everyone's play style. He has met kids, and would probably love some bigger sturdier children. He's still a bouncy baby himself. He has not met a cat, but his foster mom reports he's not interested in the furry small animals outside in his yard.
🐾
Peanut's ideal home will be one with a dog friend to wrestle, humans who love to do things (hikes, training, sports) and then cuddle. He's in the running for World's Best Cuddler, hope there's room for him on the couch and in your bed.
🐾
Peanut is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, microchipped and ready to love you. Apply today at the link in our bio and get the party started. #caninecupids #adoptabledog #rescuedog #fosterdog

Did you know Canine Cupids is fully volunteer-run, non-profit dog rescue? That means all the work that goes into the care of the dogs and making content that we hope will catch the eye of their future adopters is all thanks to our dedicated volunteers!
🐾
So wanna see some behind the scenes? We've been posting some photos and videos lately from a day that we had three volunteers head up a "content day" where fosters (also volunteers) brought their dog over one at a time. While a lot of hard work went into this - we also had so much fun! Enjoy the outtakes.
🐾
And remember, you can learn all about how to adopt one of the dogs in this video, what volunteer opportunities are available, or how you can make a donation on our website: https://www.caninecupids.org
As promised, Part 2 of Alfie’s story: After being adopted, Alfie came back to us this fall. Circumstances with his adopter’s family changed, and this post isn’t really about that. Instead, it’s about Canine Cupid’s commitment to the dogs that pass through our rescue.
🐾
A wonderful foster home opened up and brought Alfie back into our rescue. And they have worked really hard with him to get him ready for his furever home! You can see all the amazing things he’s learned with his foster family in this video.
🐾
As a non-profit dog rescue, we wouldn’t be able to provide the care and support we do now without help from our donors. You’ll have to stay tuned for Part 3 (when Alfie gets adopted)!
