Angelica's Journey ends in the arms of an angel.
Angelica, a 100 lb. female Rottweiler was adopted from the animal shelter back in June. As she was an outdoor dog, she escaped her owner's yard and something got a hold of her and tore her up pretty bad. We just knew that whatever had gotten a hold of her did not intend for her to survive and even this 100 lb. beauty didn't have much of a chance against her attackers.
When she was found, her owners did not have the wherewithal to take her to the vet so she was surrendered, once again, to the shelter.
With the help of C.A.R.E. and the volunteer staff, she was taken to the vet and given the help she needed. Her ear was so damaged that half of it had to be removed. Her foreleg had septic arthritis and had to be treated with very strong antibiotics three times a day, anti-inflammatories two times a day, and pain meds twice a day. A difficult task for overwhelmed staff in an already overcrowded shelter.
With a little divine intervention, a woman came to visit the shelter whose beloved Rottweiler had just passed away. She immediately fell in love with Angelica and adopted her on the spot. She is now where she belongs with someone who adores her and will take care of her for the rest of her life.
So this is where Angelica's Journey ends. Not as a tragic story, but of a life renewed. We wish Angelica and her new owner all the best!
