Pregnant puppy abandoned in forest needs a ‘second chance at life’ in California
A dog that was found alone in the Northern California forest is now safe and sound at a shelter — but she’s terrified.
Meet Rosie, a sweet mama pup who just wants love and companionship despite her extremely rough start in the world.
“Rosie was found abandoned in the forest—pregnant, scared, and just a puppy herself. At only 9 months old, she had already endured more than most dogs ever should,” the Mendocino Coast Humane Society said in a July 29 Facebook post.
“She gave birth safely in foster care. Rosie is back at the shelter now… and she’s not doing well. She’s overwhelmed and scared.”
The shelter posted a video of Rosie, a beautiful white and tan mix with soft eyes and a loveable demeanor as she leans in for pets.
“This sweet girl needs a foster—or better yet, an adopter—who can help her decompress and finally just be a puppy. Rosie is gentle, resilient, and ready for her second chance at life,” the shelter said.

Mendocino is about a 155-mile drive north from San Francisco.
