A BRITISH bulldog that was found abandoned on the side of the A55 earlier this year has finally found a place to call home.

Rosie was found in poor health on May 15, and was soon taken to the PAWS centre in Conwy, where vets discovered scar tissue on her underside, deformed teats that were dragging and preventing her from walking properly, injuries to her paws and an infected and smelly tail stump.

Vets also discovered she was pregnant, undergoing an emergency caesarean and giving birth to four puppies, three of whom survived.

The puppies have all since been rehomed, and now Rosie has too.

The mother-of-three has been adopted in the North Wales area and is settling in well at her new home.

PAWS founder Steve Belgrau said: "Yesterday, Rosie left us for her new life, and wow, doesn't she look at home already!

"She's had such a tough time. Used as a breeding machine, dumped on a busy road whilst pregnant, emergency C-section and multiple surgeries to correct all of the neglect and abuse.

"Her eyelids have been done which were ingrowing and causing ulcers on her eyes, and her infected tail stump was worse than the vets suspected so it has been completely removed. All wounds are healing well.

"There's still some recovery to go and a final check-up at the vets but finally though, she's got her happy ending! Thank you to everyone who supported her journey to get her here."
