Rosita Just Lost Her Whole World… Again

I just picked up this sweet girl from the municipal shelter, and my heart is breaking. D&A Animal Rescue is completely full—truly, we had no space left. But how could we say no to Rosita? Rosita’s story is one of resilience, heartbreak, and hope. She was rescued once before from a terrible situation and finally found safety and love with a young woman who adored her.

For the first time, Rosita had a home, a bed, a routine, a person. But everything changed overnight. Rosita’s owner was taken into ICE custody, and this gentle girl was suddenly left behind with no one to protect her. When her owner managed to call me from jail, her voice was shaking as she begged: “Please… please find Rosita a wonderful home. I only trust you.” How could we walk away after that?

Rosita didn’t understand why she was back in a kennel. She just pressed her face against us, desperate for comfort, trembling with confusion and grief. She had already lost so much—and we refused to let her lose hope, too. We brought her into rescue, even though we are at capacity, and immediately began her medical evaluation.

That’s when we learned she is heartworm positive and will need a full heartworm treatment plan to save her life. It’s a long, costly process—but Rosita deserves every chance to heal and find the stable, loving home her owner desperately wanted for her.

Despite everything, Rosita is pure sweetness—gentle, affectionate, and trusting. All she wants is a person to love again. Now, she needs you.

Your support will help cover Rosita’s heartworm treatment, medications, and continued care while she recovers and prepares for a new beginning. Together, we can give Rosita the future she should have had all along—a safe home, a soft place to land, and a lifetime of love.
