Rosie's Rule: GPS Tracking Collars for Happy Endings!
Rosie’s Rule was created as a heartfelt tribute to a special dog, offering a safety net for dogs who have become lost or separated from their families.
Unfortunately, one in three pets will get lost at some point in their lives, and the search can be a stressful and emotional experience for families. Thankfully, Rosie’s Rule is here to help bring about happy endings for lost dogs.
Animal Friends has teamed up with Fi Smart Dog Collars to provide GPS-enabled dog collars for Animal Friends’ canine residents who are at an increased risk of becoming separated from their handler.
These dogs may startle easily, have had a lack of human socialization or attempt to flee or hide in unfamiliar settings.
Once outfitted with a Fi collar, Rosie’s Rule dogs will keep their collar through adoption along with a one-year subscription to the Fi App – at no cost to their new family.*
*Small activation fee charged at time of the adoption.
Support Rosie's Rule
Donations can be made to support the cost of purchasing and registering additional collars for our most unique canine residents to wear during their time at Animal Friends and once they have been adopted.
Together, we can protect more dogs during their time at Animal Friends, in foster care and during the first critical year in their new home!
Rosie's Story
Rosie was rescued after spending the first six years of her life with little human interaction. Though sweet and affectionate, she was fearful of new people and unfamiliar situations. Shortly after being adopted by a loving family, Rosie slipped out through the garage door. A search party was formed, and the community spent weeks tracking her in hopes of a safe reunion with her family.
Tragically, after more than two weeks, Rosie was struck by a vehicle and passed away. In honor of her memory, her family and friends are dedicated to sharing her story, hoping her legacy will help make a positive difference for other dogs like her.
