HI - I'M ROCKY, and I'm a sweet 5-year-old American Eskimo mix with a heart of gold and resilience worth noting! Without question I've had a 'rocky' chapter in my life. I was rescued in rough shape from a Southern California shelter. My skin was a mess and I looked like something out of a horror film but now I'm looking so much better, thanks to some good vet care and TLC.
Picked up as a stray by shelter animal control, I was found to have Demodex (non-contagious) mange, along with an ear infection. Additionally, I've been diagnosed with an unusual auto-immune disorder, causing the loss of fur on my face, feet and body. But I'm looking good now! I am still regrowing fur on my face, legs and body. Progress is slow, but steady. My condition will need to be managed with an inexpensive medicine, possibly indefinitely. (Though some natural therapies may also help.)
I now weigh 27 lbs. and I eat heartily. Regular baths and brushing will help me regain that luxurious Eskie coat. I love baths as they make me feel so good!
Despite my misfortunes, I have a wonderful mellow disposition. I love to go on walks (I get quite excited when you pick up my leash!), and I love to lie around and relax. I adore people and am wonderful with cats, other dogs and kids. I'm also housebroken, crate-trained and know a few commands.
I'm a very engaging pup. I want to be around people and love as much attention as possible. I'm easy to handle on the walk, very food motivated and I love treats (but watch your fingers - I'm a work in progress in grabbing for treats).
I'm currently in a foster home near San Diego, where I share a home with other dogs. I can be a little dog reactive, but not aggressively. My foster parents love me and have nursed me back to health. Going forward I need a kind, loving, compassionate owner whom can help me live my best life -- someone who understands that my condition will need to be monitored but will love me in spite of it. Please email for an application.
