My story

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

Rocky is a rescue dog. He was owned by a family who neglected him. He would always be kept outside no matter the weather. No water was ever left out for him. He was malnourished and it was heartbreaking seeing people try to feed him without the family noticing. At times, that family would leave the gate open in hopes of Rocky leaving but he always came back. I took the initiative to speak to the family and take him as my own. Luckily, they agreed since they wanted him gone. He quickly became a new dog and gained a lot of healthy weight. Rocky is super sweet… you can tell he’s happy he was saved. Unfortunately, it was never in the plans to keep him. The plans were to bring him back to health and find his forever home. It’s been a year and I strongly believe he is ready to find his new home.
