Locals told Sidewalk Specials that Rosie was a stray and seen as a pest, so people would throw boiling water at her to make her go away. The poor girl had third degree burns and needed care immediately, but she didn’t trust any humans; They had always been mean to her and treated her poorly. These rescuers had to convince her they were here to help…

They were able to capture the dog and get her back to the animal hospital where she was also diagnosed with an advanced TVT (transmissible venereal tumor). She needed wound dressings and chemotherapy, and it would be expensive… But thanks to donations, Rosie’s life would be spared! Look at the happy doggo today. 🙂
