Mama Rosario's Story

Hi, I'm Mama Rosario! I may be small, but I have the heart of a warrior and the soul of a mama who’s been through it all! I’m a Terrier/Chihuahua mix born around April 14, 2024, I’m about 15lbs. I’m a female pup who hasn’t been spayed yet and am not fully vaccinated just yet since I’m getting my puppies ready for their forever home, but I’m on my way to being all set and healthy for my forever home.<br/><br/>My story started on the streets, where I gave birth to 13 beautiful puppies. Life was tough, and sadly not all of them made it through those cold nights—but thanks to a kind human and my rescuers, 9 of my babies survived, and now it’s finally my turn to be cared for and loved. Now that my mama duties are winding down, I’m ready to find a forever home where I can just be… your baby.<br/><br/>Why You’ll Love Me (and My Personality!)<br/><br/>“Certified Love Bug & Hug Expert” – I’m extremely affectionate, cuddly, and love giving hugs.<br/>“Your Loyal Little Shadow” – Whether I’m sunbathing or relaxing, I always want to be near my person.<br/>“Social Butterfly” – I love dogs, people, and kids - I'll fit right into your family!<br/>“Playful + Perfectly Chill” – I’ve got a great balance of fun energy and calm companionship.<br/>“Adventure-Ready Sweetheart” – Great on leash, loves car rides, and always down for treats and quality time!<br/>A little more about me:<br/><br/>Now that I’ve finished raising my puppies, I’m ready to enjoy the good life as someone’s baby. I may need a little time to adjust to a new home, but I’ve already shown great manners and a loving, trusting personality. I’m low-maintenance with my potty and leash skills, and I don’t require a crate. My compatibility with cats is unknown, so slow introductions would be best. I’ll also need to be spayed and finish my vaccinations, but I’m well on my way to being a happy, healthy companion.<br/><br/>What’s my dream home?<br/><br/>I would thrive in a home filled with love, affection, and patience—somewhere I can truly relax and just be part of the family. Whether it’s a home with kids, other friendly dogs, or a quieter household, I’m happiest as long as I’m close to my people. I’d love a cozy spot to sunbathe, plenty of cuddle time, and a family who will include me in their daily life. After everything I’ve been through, I’m simply looking for a safe, loving home where I can feel secure, spoiled, and cherished every day.<br/><br/>My adoption fee is $400, this fee covers my first year of vaccinations, spay/neuter, and microchip. Do I sound like the dog for you? You can fill out an application to adopt me at http://www.thecantufoundation.org
