My story

Meet Essa – A Sweet Soul from the Streets of Aruba Essa’s journey began on the streets of Aruba, but her story took a beautiful turn when we asked a local trapper to bring her to safety. No trap was needed—Essa walked right up, trusting and ready for a new beginning. Since July 3rd, Essa has been under veterinary care, receiving nutritious meals, love, and treatment for heartworm. At around 2 years old, she’s blossomed into a gentle, low-key girl who’s grateful for every bit of kindness she receives. Despite a tough start—her flat feet hint at poor nutrition as a puppy—Essa doesn’t let that slow her down. She greets each day with optimism and joy, winning hearts with her sweet nature. ? Why You’ll Love Essa: Super friendly and affectionate Gets along well with other dogs Cat-friendly (after proper introductions) Calm and easygoing Loves people and thrives on attention Essa has already received more love in the past two months than she likely ever knew before—and she returns it tenfold. She’s still undergoing heartworm treatment, but will be ready for adoption the first week of December. If you’re looking for a loyal companion with a heart full of gratitude and love, Essa might just be your perfect match. ?
