ROCKY our new foster
« on: March 13, 2007, 04:58:21 pm »
So we are getting a new foster. This guy is a rotti shep mix. He is 2 years old and 20lbs underweight. The original owners gave him up because he is too big he knocked over their child and the child got hurt. They did have a new home for him, but the new owners abandoned him.  >:(  :'( So a person that rescues horses, rescued him from the pound. He was on his last day there. She then found our rescue and called us. He is being dropped off tonight.

Here is a picture of him, he reminds me of Harley.

He is a rotti/sheppard cross. From what I am told.

Rocky is a sweetie.  He looks like a Rottie/shepherd cross.  Here is a pic of my old boy Barrett who was a rottie/shepherd cross.  Their heads look kind of the same to me.

Well we got him here and boy did he stink! Poor fella, we gave him a bath and he smells better but he still needs another one.

He is in rough shape and is in need of major TLC. He is extremly skinny, and I am not sure how this happened but he can't move his tail. It just hangs there.

He has a great personality never made a fuss getting his bath!

We are going to take him to our vet.

Any advice on feeding an underweight dog would be great.

Wow, he's a looker!  Love his eyes!  Glad you got him and washed him up, I'm sure you'll do a great job getting weight on him!
