Rosie back home after Louth SPCA campaign proves a success

Rosie

A stolen dog was returned to the Louth Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) last week after being stolen last month.

It is believed Rosie the Lurcher was let go by thieves after becoming too hot to handle when appeals for her return went viral across the UK and Ireland.

The one year old is now back in the Louth SPCA’s kennels after her second major odeal in the last six months. She was initially freed from neglective captivity last September.

This time around she had been missing from the society’s kennels since February 8^th/9^th following a break-in. However, a tip-off from a member of the public last week resulted in Rosie being found at a house in Dundalk.

Following Rosie’s abduction the kennels at Walterstown, Castlebellingham have been fitted with CCTV cameras and an advanced security system to prevent any dogs being stolen again.
