About

Meet Rocky 2024

Meet Rocky He is a 10y old neutered male beagle who is looking for a very special new home. Rocky finds himself at BTTR through no fault of his own. This good boys previous owner left him with a friend while looking for a new place to live and was unable to reclaim him after 3 months. The owner and friend turned to BTTR for help finding a new home for Rocky. Rocky's wish list includes a home with a fenced in yard, and the opportunity to go on walks and play with other dogs a few times a week. He loves running zoomies around the yard, chasing another dog through the leaves, sniffing trees on a walk, and sleeping on a cozy bed. He is very cuddly and loves a good snuggle. He has done well in a home with other dogs, seems interested in cats but is respectful, and would be a good fit for kids and most older people.   After arriving at BTTR Rocky began limping and our vet determined that Rocky has 2 torn CCLs (like doggy ACLs). One was partially torn and partially healed prior to him arriving at BTTR and one tore with the increased activity at BTTR.  We had two orthopedic consultations and determined that Rocky will be needing double knee surgery scheduled on April 1st 2025 at our vet in Chesapeake, VA 23322 (paid for by BTTR). He is currently on exercise restrictions, pain medications, and will need to be carried up and down any stairs from now until 8 weeks following his surgery. Once recovered we are expecting him to be able to make a full recovery and be able to return to 100% beagle shenanigans. He is neutered, had a recent senior blood/urine panel, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, negative fecal test, on flea/tick/heartworm prevention. Other than the knee issues Rocky is an all around healthy guy. BTTR offers a trial period to all of our adoptions to make sure it’s the right fit! As a Senior Rocky qualifies for a Special Reduced Senior Adoption Fee. Can you help Rocky out?
