THIS 13-YEAR-OLD SENIOR DISCARDED AT THE SHELTER FIGHTING FOR HIS LIFE 💔
When I went to the shelter to rescue Rocko, I was actually told there wasn’t even a senior dog named Rocko there!
Most of the staff I spoke with didn’t even know he existed.
Thank goodness for the wonderful kennel tech who cared for him and my friend who alerted me to just how sick he was and how desperately he needed to get out of that shelter.
When I finally brought Rocko home, he was so weak and sick he could barely stand, let alone walk.
Shortly afterward, he ended up in the hospital, where he spent five days receiving medical care.
BUT THAT WASN’T THE END OF ROCKO’S STORY. IT WAS THE BEGINNING OF HIS SECOND CHANCE!
NOW LOOK AT THIS BOY!
Walking, running, playing with Tuffy and the other dogs, enjoying his adventures, and living his BEST LIFE!
Full of life. Full of love. HAPPY, HEALTHY & THRIVING!
It’s truly amazing what love, proper medical care, patience, and a second chance can do.
From a senior dog so sick he could barely stand, to a happy, playful boy enjoying every moment of life. THIS is why I rescue!
And the BEST part? ROCKO IS READY FOR HIS FOREVER HOME!
Rocko is an incredibly sweet, gentle, loving senior. He’s dog, kid, and people friendly, house, crate, and potty trained, wonderful on the leash, and happiest just being loved.
