Rosie Obi-Wan Chanute Hills
Rosie, our therapy dog, is 25% Lab and 75% Alaskan Malamute. She was rescued from a shelter in Chanute, KS in 2016 when she was 4 months old. Rosie was sick at the time, and our family went to Rosie’s Pizza in Chanute to decide whether to adopt her. Of course, we could not resist her cuteness so we went forward with the adoption. She has turned out to be the sweetest, most easy-going dog we’ve ever had. She now serves as our office mascot.
