a little about me
I AM A YORKIE/CHIHUAHUA MIX
2/28/26 - .Meet Rocky — part bat 🦇, part werewolf 🐺, part mogwai… and 100% adorable.
Behind that sweet little tongue and those tiny “fangs” is a pup who has been living with significant dental disease and severe bone loss.
Rocky was recently evaluated by a Veterinary Dental Specialist. After reviewing his x-rays, she does not believe he is a candidate for bone grafting due to the extent of bone loss in his jaw.
The good news? He still has five teeth that she hopes we can preserve with careful management and professional dental cleanings every six months. His first specialized dental procedure is scheduled for March, when she will get a much closer look at everything under anesthesia.
Our goal is simple: keep Rocky comfortable, pain-free, and able to enjoy his meals and his life.
Specialty dental work — and ongoing six-month cleanings — are costly. As a small rescue, cases like Rocky’s stretch us, but we will always say yes when a dog needs us.
If you’re able to help with Rocky’s care, we would be so grateful. Every single donation, no matter the size, helps us keep our promise to him.
11/15/25 - Rocky had his dental on 9/30/25 and lost 24 teeth. He was found to have profound bone loss in his lower jaw and it was advised that we see a veterinary dental specialist in a couple of months after his mouth had healed. We have reached out for an appointment in December.
9/13/25 – Rocky has successfully had his neuter surgery and is recovering nicely. His dental care will be scheduled in a couple of weeks.
Meet Rocky! 🐾
This tiny ball of cuteness is Rocky — a 5-year-old pup weighing just 4 lbs! Despite his small stature, Rocky has a big personality and an even bigger tail wag for everyone he meets. Friendly, gentle, and always happy to see you, he has a way of making your day brighter just by being around.
Rocky gets along well with other dogs and would love a furry friend in his new home. He’s currently not housebroken and wears a belly band to help manage accidents, but with patience and consistent training, he’s sure to learn quickly.
He’s also in the process of receiving some much-needed dental care. Once his smile is feeling better, Rocky will be ready to find his forever home—where he can relax, be loved, and enjoy all the snuggles he deserves.
If you’re looking for a loyal little companion with a heart of gold (and a tail that never stops wagging), Rocky might just be your perfect match! 💕
