Rocky, Dachshund For Adoption In Sharpsburg, Georgia

Location:

Sharpsburg, GA

Description:

Rocky is a very sweet boy looking for a very special home. Rocky was found on the side of the road after being hit by a car. Thankfully, a wonderful person stopped to help him and contacted Hearts & Homes. Without hesitation, we were able to get him the care that he needed. Rocky underwent extensive surgery to stabilize a fractured spine and bilateral hindlimb fractures. Despite Rocky's extensive injuries, he has come such a long way and is back to feeling like a typical happy, bouncy puppy! What Rocky is not aware of, and what he requires most is a quiet lifestyle with someone that understands his needs moving forward. Given the extent of his injuries, Rocky will require a "low-impact" lifestyle. Due to risk of reinjury and possible need for additional surgeries should reinjury occur, Rocky will never be allowed to use the stairs, jump on or off of furniture, or roughhouse with other pets. Thankfully, his extra-large crate has become his safe haven and he thrives on a routine consisting of controlled leash walks, assistance onto the couch while supervised, and quiet play time with toys -- and boy does he love destroying a toy!
