7/7/22 – RIP Rocky. We didn’t know him well. He was a 10-week old hound mix surrendered to a person who we’ve helped in the past with rescues. He was very sick and we were asked if we could cover a medical visit. Unfortunately, this was happening during the 4th of July weekend and the rescuer and dog were in a location where we don’t have any partner veterinary clinics. Rocky was eventually able to get into an emergency vet in the area and without getting into details, the doctor and some of the staff were less than helpful although they were able to rule out parvo at a ridiculous cost and were very unclear as to what to do next. Rocky was taken home and soon after he died in the rescuer’s arms. Although his life was short, I think he knew love at the very end. – diana.
