Rocky
Current Status: Adoptable
About Me:
Hi, I’m Rocky
I’m a 1-year-old Boerboel x Pitbull boy with a heart full of love and a spirit that refuses to quit.
When I was just 4 months old, I was brought into a vet clinic really sick… I had CPV (Canine Parvo Virus) and rickets, which made my legs painfully bowed. I was so uncomfortable that I tried to lick my joints to soothe them, but that only made things worse. Painful hotspots turned into serious infections, and sadly, one of them became too severe to save. I had to have my front left leg amputated.
When my owner found out… he never came back. He stopped answering calls, stopped checking in and just left me there. I didn’t understand why. But I didn’t stay alone for long.
That’s when Special Paws Sanctuary stepped in. They didn’t just see a broken puppy, they saw me. They helped me build strength in my remaining front leg, helped me learn how to run and play again, and gave me all the love I was missing.
Today, I’m strong, playful, and full of joy. I zoom around with my friends, wrestle, cuddle, and chase toys like any other dog. You’d never guess I only have three legs!
I’m a social butterfly – I love people, other dogs, and being part of the action. That’s why I’d really love a forever home with at least one furry friend (or more!) to keep me company. I’ve got a lot of love to give and all I ask for in return is a soft place to land and a heart that won’t give up on me.
If you think you could be that person, please contact Special Paws Sanctuary to meet me or learn more about how to adopt me.
