Lost dog was safely rescued after surviving alone in the woods for over 6 years

A dog who lived alone in the woods for about six and a half years is now being cared for at an animal shelter and will eventually be adopted into a loving home.

The dog named Rose was first reported by a person living near the village of Crawley Down in West Sussex, England, in late November, Lost Dog Recovery UK South wrote in a Dec. 11 Facebook post.

The person who saw Rose “stopped traffic, let the dog disappear into the woods and knew not to follow him, and just came back as soon as possible to leave food,” Lost Dog Recovery UK South said.

Lost Dog Recovery UK South is a nonprofit group funded by donations and run by volunteers, he told Fox News Digital.

Someone who lives in Crawley Down told the concerned citizen that the dog was known to people in the area and that it was frequently reported to have been found.

“She was said to get lost and people fed her,” Lost Dog Recovery UK South said.

The individual, who Lost Dog Recovery UK South said was “a little perplexed but still very concerned” at the idea of ​​a dog living in the woods, approached the organization with the discovery of the animal.

“Realizing that it could have simply been a ‘dog with owner allowed to roam’ situation, a camera was taken and food left out anyway until more information could be gathered,” wrote Lost Dog Recovery UK South.

“The little dog was on camera at 11 pm and 3 am that first night, three times the next night, and by the third day he seemed to be ‘waiting’ for dinner, watching us park and walk to the place of service. the camera”. said Lost Dog Recovery from the south of the UK.

The group eventually learned that Rose was being fed by local residents, who thought they “should leave her alone” since she was in “good condition.”

They also discovered that locals believed she had been a stray for “about 10 years”, something that deeply upset Lost Dog Recovery UK South. (This estimate was later found to be an exaggeration.)

“Subsequent discussions with another household said to be responsible for his care painted a slightly different picture: they left food for wildlife, but knew that the welfare of this (alleged) senior dog was a priority and agreed to help us in any case. as they could,” the organization wrote. “Wildlife feeding stopped.”

Over the next week, Lost Dog Recovery UK South worked to establish a “feeding routine” with Rose, and confirmed that she was an older dog.

The group finally caught her and brought her in on Dec. 9, the organization said.

“She was understandably shocked and scared, but she was very kind, and was immediately taken to the warmth and safety of a kennel,” wrote Lost Dog Recovery UK South.

Lost Dog Recovery UK South said it was shocked to learn that Rose not only had a microchip but also had a name, Rose, and that she had gone missing 24 hours after her adoption in March 2017.

“We were not at all expecting to find out she was a long-lost dog named Rose… a Patterdale Terrier who is now 12 years old,” the group wrote.

Some locals thought Rose was “property” and allowed to roam alone, which is why she has been living wild for 6 years.

Rose disappeared before the creation of Lost Dog Recovery UK South, he said. However, “putting together the fragments we can find, she was seen loose in the 10 days after she disappeared, but then trace of her was lost.”

“While we will never know exactly when she came to settle in Crawley Down, what we do know is that she is finally SAFE and will now not spend the rest of her senior years fending for herself in the cold and wet,” the group said. saying.

Unfortunately, Rose’s original owners are unable to take her back to their home.
