Meet the fabulous Rose, a delightful 9-year-young Havanese/Shih Tzu mix who's ready to steal your heart and make every day feel like a cozy hug! 🌟 This sweet girl had quite the journey—she was once used for breeding puppies to make some extra cash. After the heartbreaking loss of her owner, she found herself living in a mechanic shop—talk about an extreme makeover! 🚗 But fear not, because this gorgeous lady was rescued thanks to a dedicated volunteer who saw the love just waiting to blossom within her. 🌹And guess what? She's not alone! Rose is joined by her possible son, Rufus, who is about 3 years old and just as sweet and loving as his momma. ❤️ Rose is not just a pretty face; she is the epitome of affection! She loves humans and gets along famously with children and other dogs, making her the ideal companion for any family. However, she is quite the curious critter when it comes to cats, so a cat-free home would really be her paradise! With a sprinkle of the timeless wisdom that comes with age, she offers an easy-going vibe that will warm any household. 🥰 Though Rose has a few previously untreated skin issues, which she’s addressing, she is otherwise healthy and has been spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped. You will find her to be well-mannered and low-energy, perfect for a retired individual, or anyone who works from home and needs a furry friend to keep them company. 🌈 There's no digging or barking; this little lady simply enjoys being close to her loved ones, and seriously, who wouldn't want such a loving companion? So here's the scoop: Both Rose and Rufus are looking for a wonderful foster or forever home in the Southern California area. If you feel that warm tug on your heartstrings, you can take that first step by applying through the Buddy App! Their story needs to be shared, so even if fostering or adopting isn't an option for you, how about spreading the word? Let's find these lovable souls the caring home they truly deserve! 💖
