Diseased and malnourished B.C. dog found tied to building gets new leash on life
Global News
A person who found Rolo tied to a Prince George building with a note attached to his collar pleading for help saw cause for hope and rushed him to a local Emergency veterinarian.
Emaciated, with a lump on his leg, rotting teeth and a bad case of ringworm plaguing him, it didn’t seem that a pup named Rolo had much of a chance of survival.
The person who found Rolo tied to a Prince George, B.C., building with a note attached to his collar pleading for help saw cause for hope and rushed him to a local emergency veterinarian.
“Poor Rolo had a lot going on health-wise,” Kristen Sumner, manager of the BC SPCA’s North Cariboo District animal centre, said in a press release.
“As the vet was examining his teeth, three fell out. It was determined that Rolo had ringworm on his face and legs, and he was also underweight.”
Rolo was immediately taken into surgery to further examine the mass on his leg, which turned out to be benign.
He then received dental work, was treated for ringworm and was put on a feeding plan.
When he recovered, a family queued up to adopt him.
Jacki and Arlene have two other rescue dogs, so the meetings with Rolo included Phoebe and Shakira.
