Date Adopted:

Breed: wire haired dachshund

Well today we send Rocky to Wonderdog because my husband has a terminal illness and can no longer care for him. We decided to do this now for several reasons. First The people at Wonderdogs Recue seemed so kind and understanding. And at this phase in my husbands illness, we have time to ensure that Rocky goes to the best people possible. Someone who will love him and care for him, who will spoil him and give him treaties, and take him for walks , and just in general understand how special this little guy really is.

I am not normally a dog person , I am a cat person , it would be really acurate to say I hate dogs. But when Roland Brought Rocky home 3 years ago, I found myself wanting to spoil him, and little by little Rocky has stolen my heart. When we made the decision that Roland could no longer take care of him the way he deserves , I cried and cried.

PLease , who ever decides to be Rocky's forever family, take good care of him. He loves kids , does not like cats very much, and is scared of fireworks and thunderstorms. He loves to snuggle and will lay with you on the couch for hours and hours. He loves cartoons and cherry danish, and is general a spoiled baby. He needs someone who will keep him forever because before we got him he was in 9 homes in two years and very abused before we got him. He has arthritis in his little legs and we have sent him with all his medicines and all his little toys and goodies. Because we have small children he prefers baby toys to doggie toys and all his little toys should be called "bears" even if they are not. That way he knows to fetch them, which he loves to do.

If we could get updates on him on this blog and know that he was content and happy, at least untill Roland passes away, it would make Roland very happy. Loyalty deserves a reward and Rocky has been a loyal service dog and a good friend. He deserves a family who will take him forever.
