Emaciated Poodle With Acid Burns Found Unresponsive In Field Has Long Road To Recovery
Andrea Powell
Meet Junie.
Her life had a rough start, and she almost didn't make it.
The 6-month-old poodle mix was found unresponsive and in critical condition abandoned in a field. She was rescued just in time and arrived at Second Chance Rescue NYC Dogs emaciated with infected wounds and acid burns covering her tiny body from color dye spread across her fur coat.
The frail pup was terrified and in need of emergency care. She was rushed to an animal hospital where she received fluids and started on a nutritious diet.

Every day sick and injured animals arrive at shelters, and most are already at capacity. They cannot turn them away, but their limited budgets make it difficult to provide the medical care they need. That is why the Emergency Animal Medical fund was started to help save their lives.

Pets receiving critical care facilitated by an Emergency Animal Medical grant may not be eligible for adoption until they have completed their course of treatment. If you would like to inquire about adoption of a specific animal, we strongly encourage you to visit the shelter's specific website first as that is often the most up to date place to learn about available pets and review the adoption policies and process. Check out Second Chance Rescue NYC Dogs' website for more updates on Junie.
