NEWARK, NJ – Two dogs rescued from a two-alarm house fire are undergoing emergency medical treatment after suffering severe burn injuries, according to shelter officials.
Beau and Arrow were pulled from the blaze alive but with significant burns. They were transported for immediate veterinary care, where medical teams began treating visible injuries and stabilizing their condition.
Shelter officials said Beau’s burns were initially more apparent, but Arrow’s condition has since worsened as his injuries progressed. Veterinarians reported that burn damage to Arrow’s skin continued to deteriorate, resulting in a large wound across his back that now requires advanced intervention.
Both dogs have been transferred from the shelter to a facility capable of providing emergency veterinary care and specialized treatment for severe burns. Arrow is currently hospitalized for intensive wound management and monitoring.
Medical teams indicated that treating burn injuries in animals often requires extended hospitalization, pain management, infection prevention, and ongoing wound care. The full scope of treatment will depend on how the dogs respond in the coming days.
Community asked to support recovery effort
Officials said the cost of care is expected to be substantial due to the level of intervention required. Donations are being accepted to offset the expenses associated with animal rescue and critical medical treatment.
