The burns cover 30% of Bebe's body, mainly on her back end and stomach area. She also has holes in her skin that are infected, according to the Philly Bully Team.
Bebe was first brought to Art City Vets in Philadelphia by the previous owner who claimed he had purchased her in that condition.
Members of the Philly Bully Team then took Bebe in before she was sent to Penn Animal Hospital for further treatment.
