Please read the story below about Rose. PLEASE pass along to anyone you may know who would be able to take her in…..
Those sweet eyes deserve a place to live out her remaining years. Info to rescue/adopt/foster is below.
Rose needs a new home soon
Dog taken to Animal Control after owner dies.
“The dog was very scared at the time,” Muscogee County Coroner Bill Thrower said.

Rose’s owner, a 63-year-old woman, lived alone and took care of stray animals at the Clay Drive Mobile Home Park, Thrower said.

Rose was found in her owner’s unkempt home, which Thrower said was infested with fleas.

Rose was scheduled to be euthanized first thing this morning.

However, Drale Short, city division manager of special enforcement, said Monday they will hold Rose in the Columbus Animal Care and Control Center for a

couple more days in case anyone wants to adopt her.

PAWS Humane, a no-kill animal adoption center located next door, is unable to take the medium-sized dog because of lack of space.

Rose is sweet and gentle. She has a skin condition on her back from a flea infestation, but workers said it’s treatable.

“She’s very quiet,” Short said. “She doesn’t do a lot of barking.”

Short said that’s probably because she’s mourning her owner’s death. “Dogs are very attached to their owners and they know when something’s wrong,” she said.

If you want to adopt Rose, call animal control at 706-653-4512 and ask for Drale Short. It’s $45 to $55 to adopt a dog, depending on its age.

Last year, the city impounded 8,138 animals — 846 of which were adopted or placed in homes. About 6,330 dogs and cats were euthanized.
