Rocket Before and After

Look how great he looks thanks to the loving care of his foster mom Heather Beachy!  What an amazing difference!  Heather has done such a beautiful job with him!  And now Rocket begins a new chapter as he has now gone to his new family.  Here's hoping all goes well.... forever!

Update on Rocket

Hello everyone, I've posted 2 new photos of Rocket. I can't believe how much weight I've gotten on him in a week and a half...he's a different dog! He's the sweetest little guy. I'll have my vet check him this week to see if he needs vaccines (we don't know if he ever had any so we'll do titres) and go from there...then all he'll need is neutered and he'll be ready for a forever home!

New Foster Rocket

Hello everyone! I got Rocky recently,  He is terribly emaciated...this dog has NOT been fed for some time. (I'll post photos today). He has terrible diarrhea I guess from finally getting real food. I am going to try boiled chicken and rice/ potatoes perhaps to be easier on his gut than "dog food". Any and ALL suggestions are welcome to get rid of diarrhea, and fatten him up-- I have NEVER rehabbed an emaciated dog before. He should be a great pla
cement once he's fattened up and neutered. He's only 2 years old and very sweet...great with my 4 year old son and my Italian Greyhound (male)!

 FIVE DAYS LATER

Hello everyone, I have had Rocket for 5 days now and have him on the diet that was recommended to me (this is the dog that was starved) He is getting oats and boiled chicken every 3 hours. I have to say that already he appears to have filled out a little bit and he is full of energy and very friendly. My 4 year old took a chew nylabone off him with no problems at all. Just keeping you all up to date on this little guy's progress! I'll officially weigh him after I've had him 7 days, but his coat is already nice and shiny again, too.
