Pet's Bio or Adoption Story
Rocky is 14. He doesn't see very well anymore. He doesn't hear at all. His hips fail him at inopportune moments. He is full of lumps. Most days he just sleeps.

Rocky came to live with us 12 years ago. He was a mess. If you tried to pet him he'd flip on his back and pee straight in the air. He climbed on tables. He chewed up rugs. We had no idea how to fix him. But we kept him anyway.

Eventually time fixed Rocky. Love calmed him down. Walks and treats and a warm, clean bed trained him.

He is the best dog. The gentlest dog. The most loving dog.

Every morning he wakes up, struggles to his feet and stumbles to us for good morning pets and a hug. And we are thankful for one more day with him.
