Health Notes: Rocky came into hart's care
from our target community as he wasn't getting the care that he
needed. He was malnourished and had a belly full of worms but after
some healthy meals and deworming he improved greatly. While in
Hart's care it was discovered that Rocky was having seizures. He
has been under the vets care for a few months and has had numerous
tests and it was deemed that he has epilepsy. Rocky has been
through months of testing, monitoring and adjusting his
medications. His veterinary team believe Rocky is ready for
adoption as his epilepsy is being well managed with his current
medications and dosages. His adoptive parents need to know that
this is a chronic condition for which he will require medication
and monitoring as he may still have seizures in the future. Rocky
is up to date on his standard antiparasitics, vaccinations (DACPP,
Bordatella, Rabies), microchip and is neutered.
Ideal Home: Rocky seems to be
receptive to different environments so with some time and patience,
he should fit into any type of home. Rocky has had doggy
playmates in the past but can get quite excited and reactive to
other dogs while on leash so he'd likely prefer to have all the
attention to himself in the home. Rocky hasn't been exposed
to cats while in our care but he does have prey drive so might not
do well with smaller animals. Rocky has been around kids
young and old and was fine with them but because he uses his mouth
when excited, younger kids are not recommended. Rocky is
crate trained and he knows how to sit, shake, stay,
spin, lay down, come, kennel up, and his foster home is
working on muzzle training with him. Rocky has very good recall,
but sometimes ignores commands when very
excited. Rocky likes to learn tricks and is
excited to just get kibble as a reward. He is smart and would
probably love an owner who could teach him more.
