Rocky is standing on his on with no bandages or tubes! Photographs by Kristen Alousia, Adopt-A-Dog
Several blogs I posted a story about Rocky, a very sick dog who was rescued from the South, and brought to Adopt-A-Dog, Greenwich’s private shelter. Kennel manager Kristen Alousia has been visiting him every night at the Animal Specialty Center, at Yonkers NY. I heard recently from Kristen that Rocky is much better.
” I saw him last night and took him outside for a walk, which he enjoyed very much.” she said. ” They took out his chest tube last Saturday, and all of his iv’s earlier in the week. It’s an amazing improvement — he looks like he’s gained a bit of weight, and whereas before his coat was dull and he was shedding a lot, his fur is all shiny and healthy looking — a wonderful sight to see. He’s getting better day by day. I’ll be in touch with you later.”
A few days later I heard again from Kristen: Rocky is back at Adopt-A-Dog!
She writes, “Big Rocky is back at Adopt-a-Dog! I brought him there on Monday evening. So far so good … he has about a week until he gets the last of his sutures out. The boy is eating like a champion, and has warmed up to all the staff. Thanks so much again for helping him out!”
That is really good news. Hopefully Big Rocky will soon be on his way to his new home. We will keep you informed.
Rocky is on his way to recovery!
