(WRIC) -- An emaciated dog that Richmond Animal Care and Control (RACC) described as "riddled with infected holes" is fighting for her life at the city shelter. The dog, which RACC named Pinecone, came into the shelter's care on Sunday, Dec. 15 with significant injuries -- "riddled with infected holes" and barely clinging to life. It was not known whether or not she would be able to be saved. "Officers whisked her to [Virginia Veterinary Center,] where the vet called and said, 'she’s most likely septic, pressures are low, it’s a long shot, what do you want to do?'" RACC wrote on its main Facebook page. "We said TRY!" Pinecone, an emaciated dog that came into RACC's care. Photos from her initial arrival.
