12/12/22 – Rocky was left behind by his owners who were evicted. He was left without food and water for two weeks before the owner of the home found him. Rocky was skin and bones, very malnourished as seen in the first two photos. She took Rocky, who she thought was about 6-7 months old for a wellness check and learned he was actually 1-2 years old and tested positive for heart worm. That is when we were contacted for help. Rocky was taken to our friends at Comforts Place where Rocky was examined and neutered. Unfortunately, they do not as yet have x ray equipment so Rocky will be going to another partner vet for the x rays and then return to Comfort’s Place for his heart worm treatment. The last two photos are of Rocky since being rescued.

The Detroit News Cheer for Charity contest ends at 11:59 a.m. on Friday, December 16. The donations being made during the contest is allowing us to help dogs like Rocky and if we are fortunate enough to win the $20,000 many more stray and abused animals will be helped during our harsh winter (and hopefully beyond). With just a few days left in the contest, we are in the lead. So thank you so very much and, please keep sharing donating if you can. – diana.
