Paragraph 2: So Bosco is now being called Roscoe,whose critical care and recovery were estimated to be several thousand dollars.It would be difficult for Roscoe's new home to cover the costs as a non-profit organization.Thankfully, many people who knew Roscoe's story on Detroit Dog Rescue's Facebook page donated money to his care.With the help of supporters,Detroit Dog Rescue managed to make it.Once Roscoe was in a stable state,Sandra and I returned to our original mission,knowing we had already been given the chance to help one desperate soul.
