New Foster Rocky

Rocky is a beautiful three year old Boston Terrier who was brought to a municipal shelter. He was found wandering on the street after having apparently been hit by a car on New Year's Eve. The injuries to his leg were extensive, having shattered the elbow in multiple places, and it was feared that amputation would be the only solution. But here's where Rocky's luck changed. After having been contacted by the shelter, NEBTR stepped in. They paired with Dr. John Fedina of Caldwell, NJ, who worked hard to make sure that Rocky's leg would be saved. It was a very delicate,complicated surgery, but Rocky got through it like a Champ. He is now recuperating at his foster Mom Jen's home, and she is showering him with love and tending to his physical therapy.
Now NEBTR has to pay for his care, and we are asking anyone who can assist to help this sweet, loving boy so that he can run free again and regain the use of his leg. Thank you so much!



Rocky's leg was badly broken, as you can see from the bones sticking up in his x-ray.



Dr. Dillon performed extensive surgery on Rocky



Dr. Fedina of the Veterinary Medical Center, Caldwell, NJ took good care of him.




Rocky is ready to go to his foster home with Jen and begin the road to a new life.
