About Desi

Meet Desi. At just 3 months old, this little girl has already begun her journey in quite an unusual way. Desi and her sister, Lucy, were abandoned in a box left on someone's doorstep. This should never happen to any puppy, but that doorstep led to a brighter future for Desi. Currently weighing around 10 pounds, she is a charming brown-and-white mix, likely a blend of Labrador Retriever and Rat Terrier. While her exact adult size is a bit uncertain, she is expected to grow into a medium-sized dog. Desi is at the heartwarming stage of puppyhood, where she requires patience, training, socialization, and tons of love. She has begun her vaccinations, and the rescue is taking steps to ensure all her veterinary needs are met, including plans for her spay. Someone may have left Desi behind, but we recognize her value and potential. She is a sweet baby girl ready to start her true story. The next doorstep she arrives at should be one that feels like home. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
