May 25 Rose update… She has settled into her fur-ever home!! She loves her walks! Especially when she gets to explore on her 20’ long leash! Rosa loves food! She is slowly gaining weight and is no longer skin and bones. Rosa is very attached to her foster brother and they would play all day every day if they could. She loves wrestling and tugging and chasing. She will fetch a few times but still tires easily. She follows us all around the house and is so happy relaxing on the couch and watching tv. She sleeps through the night and would be happy to sleep in if her foster brother didn’t wake every up. Her wound on her right hind leg is completely healed but is has huge scars and does not have hair growing back yet. Her left hind food is almost healed, but she does have some tendon damage and while it is getting stronger she will frequently carry it if she is running. Her foot is not normal, the toes are different sizes and splayed out. She is healthy and a very happy girl. Rosa is thriving living in a home and has so much love to give!!”
Thank you to all supporters for love and support during her journey with SCARS!

April 12 update… Rosa is doing well. The wound on her right pelvic limb is closed now and the wound on the left is also progressing well. She is still with our friends at Guardian Vet Emergency Clinic and will be staying there for a bit longer. We have high hopes she can be moving into foster care soon.
April 4 update… We just wanted to give you an update on sweet Rosa. Overall doing well and the wounds are progressing well. Starting to see some granulation tissue in the wound in the left limb. She is still at Guardian Vet receiving her treatment. We will update again very soon!
March 30 update…. Overnight update on Rosa: Turns out she was hit by a vehicle. On top of her leg injuries, she also suffered a collapsed lung and is anemic. Last night she received a blood transfusion and chest tap to further stabilize her before working on her legs. Despite all her injuries, Rosa is a very sweet and cooperative patient.
Thanks for all the donations and kind words. We are so thankful for all of your support.
March 29 update…Rosa has arrived at Guardian Emergency Veterinary Clinic. We will update with the updates as soon as we can.
Thank you for all the donations, support, comments and shares.
March 28th… Sometimes there are just no words. Meet Rosa. We apologize for the graphic images. We don’t know what happened to Rosa. What we know is this is how we picked her up. We rushed her into the vet, who worked on stabilizing her. She has serious injuries to both back legs. We are unclear at this time on her prognosis. We are fairly certain she will lose a back leg, but we are hoping that her other back leg can be saved. She will be headed to the specialists at Guardian to be further evaluated.
