After Surviving a House Fire, This Dog Ended Up on a Euthanasia List

Image
When Roy arrived at the shelter, the damage was impossible to miss. A house fire had left painful burns across his face and body. His skin was badly injured. His body was exhausted. He needed immediate medical care and months of recovery that nobody could promise would succeed. Then came another devastating reality. Despite surviving the fire itself, Roy eventually found himself on a euthanasia list. For many dogs, that might have been the end of the story.

She was simply trying to survive another day. Nobody knew how long she had been lying there. Nobody knew who she belonged to. Every passing vehicle meant another moment without help.
