The Humane Society of Boulder Valley was broken into late Saturday night and a puppy was stolen from the Adoption Center.
Rosie, a pitbull mix puppy, was the only thing missing from the break-in.
The puppy, Rosie, suffers from a skin condition called Demadex Mange, which is a chronic skin condition that if left untreated can cause life long skin problems.
She is being treated for Mange and is on medication. The Humane Society of Boulder Valley is very concerned about her welfare and care and urges the community to contact the Boulder Police Department at 303-441-3333 if they recognize Rosie or have any information that could lead to her return.

Hopefully the medication that the pup needs does not leave her with pink fur. I would not want the Stonerville Humane Society to have to cite itself for defacing a dog. ;-)
Seriously, I hope the dweeb that kiped the dog will bring her back.

Adoption fees aren't that bad. They're around $175 and they already spay and neuter the dogs. Plus give a free bag of food and free vet visit. The people who stole her, are obviously educationally challenged or they wouldn't be stealing a dog in the first place.

See, I thought that in Boulder, you couldn't actually OWN a dog. The Boulder City Council has endorsed the fact that humans are merely the CARETAKER COMPANION of a dog. And if that's true, this isn't theft. It's just a reassignment of the caretaker/companion. You can't steal what isn't owned. Right, Boulder?

McLean & Stevens probably stole the dog like they do everything else. Since it is part pit bull, they will train it to keep all others off their ill-gotten land.

Too bad Rosie wasn't a year older. She might have taken a bite out of crime!
