Life should be full of simple pleasures, and it seems like summer gives us the most opportunities to enjoy them. Good friends, ice cream, and a day at the beach are some of my favorite things. Rosie the Pit bull/Terrier mix also enjoys all of those things thanks to her new family. Khailah from Simply Perfect Photography adopted Rosie earlier this summer from Cenla Alliance for Animals.
She was a rescue puppy from Cenla Alliance for Animals. Her mom was found in a parking lot in Louisiana. She gave birth the next day to a litter of ten puppies.
We recently decided that our children, AJ (8) and Nola (5) were ready for a little responsibility. After a few months of asking for a dog, we decided our family was ready. We headed down to the Adoption event. Rosie was the first puppy we saw. It was that moment I really felt like she and I connected. She was beautiful, and her sweet little eyes drew me in. We left the event, but hours passed and we all could not get Rosie off our minds.
Thirty minutes before the event ended we went back to adopt Rosie. She had three people submit adoption applications. They were all denied. It was as though she was waiting for us.
You can follow Rosie and her family on Instagram.

It’s the greatest feeling when you’ve working at an adoption event and the person or family you knew would have been perfect COMES BACK for that dog or cat and takes them home!!
