Rosie

My story

Meet Rosie The Sweetheart Survivor Looking for Her Forever Home Rosie’s journey hasn’t been an easy one, but through it all, she’s remained a shining example of resilience, love, and unshakable sweetness. Found as a stray in South Los Angeles, Rosie was brought to a local shelter where she was spayed. Unfortunately, complications followed — she began peeing blood and was clearly uncomfortable. It was discovered that a piece of her uterine stump had been left behind, leading to a dangerous infection called pyometra. We rushed to get her out of the shelter to receive the life-saving surgery she needed. But just as our transporter arrived, the shelter took Rosie back into surgery to correct their mistake. A few days later, Rosie was finally released, and we were able to bring her into our care. Sadly, during her recovery, she developed an upper respiratory infection — a common risk in overcrowded shelters. But with antibiotics, lots of love, and some much-needed rest, Rosie made a full recovery. Today, Rosie is healthy, happy, and absolutely thriving! She is the epitome of a sweet dog — affectionate, playful, and full of life. Rosie loves going for walks, playing with other dogs, and snuggling up for cuddle time. She gives the gentlest kisses and has a heart full of love just waiting to be shared. Now all she needs is a forever family to give her the life she’s always deserved. Could that be you?
