Deaf Shelter Dog With the ‘Most Beautiful Soul’ Needs a Loving, Forever Home
The world is filled with two kinds of dogs. 1) those who don’t know what it’s like to lack or be neglected because they’ve had loving families from the start. 2), those who’ve had a rough start to life and can’t seem to catch a break from their painful realities. (Watch video below)
Roseanna — a 3-year-old deaf Pit Bull currently a shelter resident at the Maricopa County Animal Care and Control (MCACC East) — relates with the second category of dogs. When she arrived at the shelter, she was in rough shape, her eyes clearly pleading for better circumstances. What stood out most about her, though, was her sweet, gentle demeanor that spoke volumes about her determination to not let her current suffering crush her hopes for a better future.
Roseanna’s Health Struggles
Besides coming to the shelter in an overweight state, Roseanna was also battling significant skin irritation and fur loss. Her troubling physical state indicated that she was suffering from an underlying health condition, which the shelter established to be hypothyroidism. As documented on TikTok account @desertdogproject, the shelter’s primary goal at the moment is to raise adequate funds to address Roseanna’s urgent health needs.
