Description

Rocky is 7 months old.  He was surrendered to MAGSR after being hit by a car with his pelvic bone broken through on both sides.  Upon arriving to MAGSR, Rocky was immediately seen by a surgeon and operated on with several screws and plates inserted.  Rocky is currently receiving around the clock post-op veterinary care.  Donations are desperately needed to help cover the cost of Rocky’s surgery and post-surgical medical care, as well as other dogs in need of medical care.  Your donations will allow us to continue to provide the medical care needed for other dogs such as Rocky.  Please click here and enter “ROCKY” in message section.  Please check back frequently on Rocky’s progress. Rocky sends tail wags and kisses to his supporters.

Updates

X-rays of Rocky’s injury – complete break on both sides. Rocky had a follow-up with the surgeon this past week and had his staples removed, so he's done with the cone of shame. Rocky is doing well in his recovery. Rocky is a very sweet boy and just loves to give kisses! Rocky is still under post-op care of a vet, so donations are desperately needed to help cover the cost of Rocky’s surgery and post-surgical medical care, as well as other dogs saved and in need of medical care. PLEASE consider donating to support Rocky (and other rescue dogs with medical needs) and click on the link below and enter “ROCKY” in message section. Your donations will allow us to continue to provide the medical care needed for other dogs such as Rocky.

Rocky is still currently not available for adoption (check back in late March 2016), but he sends sloppy kisses to all of his supporters!

Throughout the past couple of months Rocky has been working hard to recover. He has been an incredibly well-behaved pup throughout this process impressing everyone he meets. Rocky's patience has been rewarded and his fractures have healed nicely. Rocky is now ready to slowly begin acting like a puppy again! He will start with short daily walks and over the next month will gain back the muscle and strength needed to go back to acting like a pup again. Although Rocky will have some restrictions for the next month, this happy-go-lucky boy is now ready to find his forever home. If you are ready for endless kisses, young dog antics, and snuggles, then Rocky may be the right match for you. Ask to meet him today.
