Bolinha in my kitchen

A friend once said that I take in stray animals and international students whenever they are in need (or something like that!) and I guess here in Brazil the first part is proving to still be true, and the second part, well I guess now I am the international student in need, haha.
Anyways, my first day here I started befriending a neighbor's dog, Bolinha. She has owners, but is mostly a street dog. A lot of people here don't like to have pets in the house, especially bigger dogs. So I started feeding bolinha (she looked a little too skinny), training her simple tricks (really impressed the neighborhood kids), letting her sleep inside (she had a favorite spot on the bathroom rug, which unfortunately led to a tick infestation in my bathroom, which was.... unpleasant).
Since I was one of the few people who was really nice to her, she kind of adopted me. Which I had no problem with since I am missing my dog at home.
Well this morning someone poisoned her, she was vomiting, foaming at the mouth, couldn't stand up. Gave her some medicine, she's ok now. I'm just worried if they try again.
