January 25 marks the 10 year anniversary of Rosie Fund. We're looking forward to another year of sponsoring and promoting senior and harder-to-adopt dogs. Our goal is to continue to expand our reach and work with more shelters and rescue groups. Your support is what makes all this possible! To celebrate our 10th anniversary, we'll be kicking off a 10 for 10 fundraiser. You can donate through RosieFund.org, Venmo, Facebook and Instagram.

Last year was our all-time high as we filmed, promoted, and sponsored 79 dogs at KC Pet Project, Always & Furever, Mid-America Bully Breed Rescue, PAWS KC, and Pawsitive Tails

Since our founding in 2016, Rosie Fund has sponsored 355 dogs and filmed and promoted 599 dogs. Thanks to you and our volunteers, almost $32,000 of donations have provided Rosie Life Starter Kits, helped with adoption fees, and covered medical expenses for dogs that found their forever home.
