'We were just heartbroken for him and knew we had to give him a home'
An emaciated dog found tied to a railing in front of a building in downtown Prince George in February has now found his forever home.
“Poor Rolo had a lot going on health wise,” says Kristen Sumner, manager of the BC SPCA’s North Cariboo District animal centre. “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.”While Rolo was recovering from all of his procedures and getting back to a healthy weight, two people were anxiously waiting to welcome him into their home and take care of him forever.
“We read about Rolo in the news,” says Jacki. “We were just heartbroken for him and knew we had to give him a home.” Jacki and Arlene kept looking for him on the BC SPCA adoption page but couldn’t see him. The animal centre informed them that Rolo was still under medical care, but that they would let them know when he was ready to be adopted. They finally got the email they were waiting for and Jacki and Arlene immediately sent in their application.When Rolo officially became theirs, they re-named him Bosco. “Our two divas are getting used to having a brother,” says Jacki.
