Description:
Rosa is a beautiful, sweet girl with impeccable manners, both inside the house and outside. She is calm and very shy with strangers at first - but once she gets to know you she is very loving and affectionate. Her initial shyness comes from her partial blindness. She has limited vision in her right eye, and cannot see out of her left eye at all. However, we are amazed at how quickly she has adapted to her inside and outside surroundings. She prefers to be on a leash at first, so she can follow you and get to know the place. She will need a couple days to learn the layout of her new home & yard, and once she does, she becomes more confident and is easily able to navigate her surroundings on her own.
Rosa heels very well on a loose leash. She loves to go on walks everywhere, especially new places with new smells! She is an excellent car rider and loves to ride. She gets in the car on her own with a little "boost" assist. She will occasionally bark at horses or alert you to people at a stop sign, but is mostly a quiet girl.
Rosa knows "stay" and comes when called. We are working on "sit." She has the run of the house and will walk in and out of her crate. Currently she sleeps through the night on her dog bed, and has no problem being left alone in the house for a couple hours during the day. She gets along well with other dogs. as she had 2 other collie siblings in her previous home. Rosa is a calm, sweet & loving companion, who would be perfect for someone who is retired or works from home as she loves to "hang out" with her people.
