The Bloop was pulled from a meth house alongside another dog. What she witnessed in that place is something we can only guess at. She arrived carrying weight she never asked to carry, from a world that was loud, unpredictable and unkind.

Whatever she buried in those depths, she chose — in her quiet, unhurried way — to surface anyway. Ask her what she wants and she will tell you plainly: a warm lap, a quiet room, and permission to close her eyes. She doesn't demand attention or perform for it. But the moment you sit down, she'll seize the opportunity to tuck herself next to you. She would do great with another dog or a cat for company, and with people who appreciate her unassuming affection.

The Bloop is fostered in Queens, NY, and is available for local or out-of-state adoption as long as the adopter can travel to meet her. To get the adoption process started, please send us an application at https://bit.ly/rosr-adopt-foster.
