About Desi

Meet Desi. This adorable puppy, just about 3 months old, has already faced challenges in her short life. She and her sister, Lucy, were abandoned in a box, left on a doorstep as if they didn’t matter. Fortunately, that same doorstep led to their rescue and a brighter future. Desi is currently around 10 pounds and has a beautiful golden and white coat, characteristic of her mixed breed background, likely a blend of Labrador Retriever and Rat Terrier. We anticipate she will grow into a medium-sized dog. As a baby, Desi deserves a loving home where she can thrive. She will need patience, training, socialization, and lots of love to grow into a wonderful family companion. Desi has started her puppy vaccinations, and her veterinary care is being handled appropriately, including plans for her spay. Given her disposition, it’s clear Desi has a lot to give; she’s friendly and gets along well with both dogs and children. The next doorstep Desi arrives on should be the one she gets to call home.
