** WARNING TO SENSITIVITY~SOME PICTURES ARE GRAPHIC OF ROCCO’S WOUND BY HIS EYE **

Yesterday was all about Helping ROCCO Heal for the Holidays!

Rocco was at Blue Pearl Malvern, for, what we hope, is his final surgery to heal the wound under his right eye and fix his lower lid.


Here’s Rocco’s story:
Tiny Paws Rescue took Rocco (fka Rocky the Man) on 7/8/24 from ACCT Philly in as a TINY!!

Once Rocco’s matts were shaved, we saw his skin allergies caused him to scratch at his eyes that he had wounds that kept reopening and then healed over his eyes. He needed Urgent Medical Attention to remove necrotic skin and open his eyes. Rocco started to heal and look like the cute, happy, healthy dog he was meant to be.


Then, Rocco’s lower right eyelid turned inside out and he wasn’t able to completely close his eye. It was constantly irritated and weeping. Rocco had surgery to correct the issue. Unfortunately, with fixing that Issue, the wound under the eye reopened.

Last week Rocco’s eye wound became infected so we quickly got him to the ER where the vets were able to treat him and his infection. Blue Pearl scheduled Rocco’s surgery for yesterday because if he waited any longer, he may lose his eye. Tiny Paws Rescue knew he needs this surgery and despite our medical fund being depleted, we committed to Rocco to get him the care that he needs to make him well.

The estimate we were given for this surgery was $2,500 - $4,000. Which is over what we have already paid for all his past medical needs.

Also, purchasing a 2026 Tiny Paws Calendar and you get a cute Calendar of some of our TINY alumni. Also, entering our Holiday Cash Raffle or a Raffle on our Auction Page where you get a chance to win will help too since all proceeds go toward out Vet Fund.

In a groundbreaking move for animal rights, Pennsylvania has passed a bill recognizing pets as family members rather than property. This legislative change is a significant victory for animal lovers and advocates across the country. It acknowledges that pets, like dogs, cats, and other animals, have unique bonds with their human families, and they deserve to be treated with respect, dignity, and love.

The change in how pets are viewed under the law could have far-reaching consequences. It paves the way for better legal protections for animals, ensuring that they aren’t just seen as objects to be bought and sold, but as cherished family members. This shift in perspective helps to establish a more humane society, where animals’ needs are more carefully considered, and their well-being is prioritized.

As the world becomes more conscious of animal rights, this bill from Pennsylvania could inspire other states to follow suit. This move is a clear indication that societal attitudes are changing, and that pets are being recognized for the joy, companionship, and emotional support they bring to people’s lives. 🐾💖
