Meet the gentle Rosa! 🌸 This lovely soul should already be cozied up on a couch, soaking in all the love and serene moments life has to offer. She’s the kind of dog that doesn’t demand much—just a calm home and a patient companion to guide her. With her sweet and soft vibe, Rosa knows how to appreciate a soothing voice and a solid routine. Can you believe she’s still looking for her forever family? At about 5 1/2 years old, Rosa is right in that perfect zone—past the wild and crazy puppy antics, and ready for those more meaningful companionship moments. Her journey to find love hasn't been easy. 🌍 Rosa came to All Paws On Deck from the Humane Society of St. Thomas in the US Virgin Islands, and once, she experienced what it was truly like to be cherished. But sadly, her world was turned upside down when her beloved human passed away, leading her into a series of unfortunate circumstances, including cruel treatment that left its mark. Can you imagine her pain? 😢 Rosa suffered abuse, including a machete injury to her head, a trauma that no dog should ever endure. Because of her past, this sweet girl requires a little extra love and patience as she transitions into a new environment. She thrives best in a home that allows her the time to decompress—she’s got her own pace! Instead of being scooped up suddenly, Rosa prefers to decide when she’s ready for lap time, and oh, when she does, it’s a magical moment! ✨ Even after facing her share of heartache, Rosa remains open-hearted and trusting. While she might approach new situations with a hint of shyness, her soulful gaze speaks volumes about the love and gentleness that still reside within her. Rosa is a female chihuahua mix, and right now, she’s heartworm positive. But fear not—All Paws on Deck is covering her heartworm treatment through Norwich Vet in Bozrah. If you’ve ever thought about welcoming a dog into your life who will love you deeply and with the utmost gratitude, Rosa might just be the perfect match for you! 🐾 Let’s not let this incredible soul wait any longer!
