PLEASE READ THIS BIO COMPLETELY, and if interested, DO NOT USE THE PETFINDER LINK, INSTEAD inquire by email to: aboutrescuedogs@aol.com if you meet the qualifications we are requiring for this dog and tell us about your family situation. Hi! My name is ROCKY and foster mom says I am a perfect boy! I will let her tell you more about me... Adorable ROCKY is a 1 year old, 14 pound beautiful Shih Tzu boy. He is a loving little guy who lives for attention and affection....and is friendly with everyone he meets. He loves his toys...and will amuse himself with a squeaky toy or a chew bone. ROCKY has a heart murmur but after visiting the cardiologist we found that it is not the type that will require any medication...and he is expected to have a normal life expectancy. He is on Denamarin which is a liver supplement. Since ROCKY is such a young dog and still has puppy energy...a securely fenced yard, for his safety and enjoyment is a plus! He is doing quite well with his housetraining since his foster mom is home with him during the day and keeps him on a schedule. So a new owner who would be home, or works from home, and could keep him on a schedule, is desired. Since coming into rescue, ROCKY has had his cardiologist visit, blood panel checked, neuter, dental cleaning, microchip, fecal check, DAPP/L and booster, bordetella, and rabies vaccinations. He is on heartworm/flea preventative. If you meet the above requirements and think your home is the one for little ROCKY, the first step is to contact us by email (NOT using the Petfinder link as we have difficulty receiving those inquiries) so send the email to: aboutrescuedogs@aol.com and tell us about your family situation and explain why you think your home would be a good match for ROCKY. Please include your name, address, and phone number in the email. We will also require the name and phone number of your vet clinic as a reference so phone ahead and advise them we will be calling. If ROCKY appears online as adoptable, he is still available. ROCKY will be shown at a meet and greet after approved application completion. His adoption fee is $500 and includes (all new) collar, leash, harness, toys, crate, and food. Thank you for wanting to Rescue One!
