Rosie is so lucky you found her and have taken her in. Rosie looks like a sweet dog, how could anyone put her through this torture. Lets us know how the vet visit goes.

Another update..
 

She is now home.:).. She has been with us since about 430, the woman called and told me that the dog was dirty and was smelly so they brought her in to give her a bath and she wouldnt get in the tub and she was afraid of what she might do so she didnt try agian. :rolleyes: I told her not to bother that I would be right over to get her and worry about bathing her once I get her settled. I had all I could do to keep her from running straight to my house. lol.. she was pulling me so hard I was stepping out of my shoes, so she will need some work on that..lol.. anyways, I had all my other animals put away so when she came in it wasnt stressful and she sniffed around a bit and pretty much acted like it was her house..;) I had gotten a big kennel and after awhile introduced her to it, she went right in with out hesitation, laid down as if she as lived here all along. I gave her another small meal and started to introduce (brought them to her kennel) my other animals to her slowly. My little dogs, really didnt care much.. Tucker barked some, Lexee just kept her distance. My sheltie likes everyone and just wagged his tail, but my beagle isnt so happy right now. She has been barkiing nonstop, but her tail has been wagging so Im getting mixed singles, the cats hissed and ran but they do that with every new animal we have brought home. I know it will be awhile before we all happily coexsist. I will proceed very slowly so there are no mishaps..Once my hubby got home he helped me give her a bath. I led her into the bathroom shut the door behind me, lifted her up into the tub.. she didnt move.. my hubby sat on the toilet by her head and while I washed her she laid her head on his lap the whole time. So now she is nice and clean with a full tummy and a warm bed and at the moment is resting peacefully. :animal36

I will continue to update as much as possible, I will add more pics tomorrow of her nice and clean!

What a moving story.

You and your husband are true angels. Please keep us updated on her progress.

I am so happy to read your last update! I have tears in my eyes. I am just so happy for Rosie. I just can't imagine what she is thinking right about now.

Thank you so much for what you and your husband are doing for this poor girl.

You and your husband are angels for getting her out of that horrible situation. It sounds like she is very happy clean, inside and a full tummy. I feel bad for their new puppy. They should never have any animals.

So nice to know Rosie now has a full tummy, she is clean and won't sleep in the cold tonight! I'll bet she was ever so grateful to be free of the bungee cord.

I am so glad you saved that poor baby! People can be so horrible.

Sounds like you are doing a good thing, but if it doesn't work out there are places that can take care of the dog. Where I live we have a no-kill shelter and people "dump" dogs from all over there. They take good care of the dog, and if they can't find a foster home the dog still gets excellent car in the shelter.

My concern is that your neighbors new dog will wind up getting the same treatment, and they probably should have been turned in. While you are an angel for taking this dog in, it may not be the first.

I hate to be pessimistic, but my neighbor had several dogs, one at a time. All got treated poorly, and some of them ran away never to be found again.

Bless you for saving this poor dog.

Her previous owners should be tied to a dog house with a small bungie cord and left to starve in the cold.

just seen this thread i know its a long one but had to comment!

this is a wonderful thing you's have done!:bravo::bravo:

dont know how anyone could treat an animal like that! i wish rosie luck at the vet and hope anything is ok let us all know! she must be so happy and wondering whats happend how things could be so different!

feel sorry for the new puppy my sister has 4 shih tzus fingers crossed the same doent happen to it!

and to the awful people that done this to poor rosie WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND!!!!!!!:mad::mad::mad:

Awww, she seems to have such a great disposition! Have you decided on a name yet? A friend of mine rescued that sort of hound--and they are now the funniest little couple!

I'm so happy to hear Rosie is getting all settled in and is adjusting so well. She sounds like a sweetheart. :) Please give her some extra huggins for me!

Bonny

New Pictures :)
 

Last night went extremely well considering she hasnt ever been in a kennel or a house for that matter. :rolleyes: She never made a fuss at all and when I got up this morning to take turns letting the dogs out she didnt want to come out of her kennel. lol.. so I gave her some more time and when she whined I let her out. She doesnt like it outside very long before she is whining at the door to come back in. ( we have a fenced in yard off our back door). Its alittle chaotic around here right now but Im sure in a few days it will settle down. At this moment Im putting all of the dogs and cats away so I can give her time to roam the house, check out her new surrondings etc. She loves it. :) She likes the garbage can too..;). My beagle is still going nuts at times and barks like a mad woman but she is waggin her tail at the same time. Anyways, here some new pics that I took this morning of her, one is with my son, (red shirt) and the other one is with the son of who I got her from. They love that she is in the house and no longer barks to keep them up..:rolleyes: She still has that orange collar but we will get her a new one as well as a harness this weekend. The girl needs to learn to walk on a lead...:p
