Rosie, a 5-year-old Beagle, was featured on one of these e-mails. She was at the Greenville County Animal Shelter, and was unadoptable because of severe health problems. The e-mail, referring to Rosie and another dog on death row, said, “They will both be euthanized tomorrow at 8 a.m. unless someone speaks for them.”
