Rosie was living in a Katrina-abandoned mall and a D9 volunteer was feeding her. When we realized that she was extremely pregnant, we trapped her to stop her from running back and forth across 6 lanes of traffic every day. She turned out to be an exceptionally sweet, happy little 45-pound pit mix. All of Rosie's 7 puppies have now been adopted. Rosie is going to be treated for heartworms and then will be ready to start her new life!
