My next fundraiser will start Monday, January 19 benefitting Midwest Small Breed Rescue. They chose a special dog, Rocky, to be highlighted.
Meet Rocky. 🤍
Rocky’s story is one of quiet strength and hard-earned trust. For more than a year and a half, this incredibly sweet boy lived with a severely broken leg that was never treated. When he finally came into foster care, he was seen right away and it was clear the leg needed to be removed. Since then, Rocky has learned how to move through the world on three legs and he does it beautifully. Watching him get around now, you’d never guess how much he’s been through.
Rocky is gentle, affectionate, and truly the definition of a soft soul. But pain leaves echoes. Because of what he endured for so long, he still carries some trauma, and that can show up as a little spice when he’s scared or asked to do something he’s not comfortable with. The vet is especially hard for him, and that’s completely understandable given his past.
What Rocky needs is not perfection. He needs patience. He needs a calm, loving home with someone who understands that trust is built slowly and that progress is measured in small, meaningful steps. In return, Rocky will give you a bond that feels deep and intentional, the kind that only comes from choosing each other after surviving something hard.
Rocky has already proven how resilient he is. Now he’s just waiting for the person who will see him, respect his boundaries, and love him exactly as he is. That person will be very lucky indeed. 🐾✨
