My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Foster, Adopt or Foster to adopt handsome Rocky!

Rocky’s beautiful eyes tell a history of abuse and neglect, but still hold a hope and love that will melt your heart. Although Rocky is initially shy, he greets trusted friends with a tail wag and asks for neck scratches. Just give him time to settle in, and Rocky will devote himself to you!

Rocky is a mellow fellow. He likes to always be near his trusted person, but doesn’t pester for attention. If he is given access to a yard, Rocky will move between indoor naps and outdoor activity on his own. He has been patient with up to four other dogs on our “pack walks” - even when the leash got tangled! Rocky loves to learn and is great in the car and on leash, and dog- and cat-friendly. Daily walks, yard time, and your presence will make him perfectly happy.

Rocky is 5+ years old, neutered, vaccinated, and healthy. He will be a wonderful companion in a calm, dog-savvy home. Because Rocky is happiest in a calm environment, we recommend a home without children. Rocky’s family needs to provide him with mental and physical enrichment and activities, help him build his confidence, and train him using force-free, positive, reward-based methods.

Please open your heart and home to Rocky! We will consider a foster, adopt, or foster-to-adopt arrangement. http://www.tinyurl.com/AdoptMeNow

More about this rescue

Formed in 2017, One Planet Rescue may be a new rescue organization, but founder Farah Ravon, is far from new to the rescue community.

Farah’s extensive experience volunteering for local rescue organizations, as well as her latest work as the U.S. Representative, and Foreign Adoption Coordinator for Vafa Animal Shelter the last 6+ years, provided experience with rescuing animals from around the world.

Here at One Planet Rescue, our work is focused on injured and special needs dogs and cats who require immediate care. Because many of these dogs and cats do come from abroad, we are diligent about fully vaccinating, and spay/neuter prior to our rescue transport. (Sole exceptions would be puppies or kittens).

Although we would never turn down a local case, when rescuing abroad, we always open each case with the requirement of, foster to adopt. This protocol is set in place to confirm the rescue is the right fit for the family interested, and if they are not the right fit the rescue will be returned back to a One Planet Rescue foster.

One Planet Rescue does not have a local facility, rather individual sponsorships makes it possible for us to rescue dogs and cats from all over the world. We also work solely with foster families, this frees up donation funds to go directly to the many costs pertaining to the pets welfare. Domestic transportation, vet bills, foster care, are just some of these examples.
