Description:
Meet Desert Rose, a 10-year-old pittie mix with a heart as big as the desert sky. Life hasn’t been the easiest for this sweet senior—her skin is a bit rough, her joints a little stiff, and the hard shelter floors aren’t doing her any favors. But beneath her tired exterior is a spark that refuses to go out. At first, Desert Rose seemed unsure in the shelter, but then we saw it—the wiggle. A little tail wag, a playful bounce in playgroup—proof that there’s still joy left in her soul, waiting to be nurtured. She may have more years behind her than in front of her, but she deserves to spend whatever time she has left in a warm, loving home, not a kennel. Desert Rose doesn’t ask for much—just a soft bed, a kind hand to soothe her, and a heart willing to cherish her golden years. If you’ve ever dreamed of giving a senior dog the love they deserve, she’s waiting for you. Let’s not let her story end in a shelter.This sweetie girl recently met some social dogs at our shelter and did fine. She wasn't interested in playing but was patient sharing her space with the rambunctious youngsters. Looking for a buddy for your dog? Bring him/her to the shelter for a meet and greet and see if we're a match! Check out her playgroup video here:To meet me, visit the Bradshaw Animal Shelter Tuesday-Sunday, Noon - 5:00 pm, Wednesdays, Noon - 6:00 pm. All adoptions are on a first-come, first-served basis.
