Adopt Rocket a Black - with Gray or Silver Doberman Pinscher / Mixed dog in
Location:
Denton, TX
Description:
Rocket 'Rocky' is a 3 month old (Aug.) pure bred blue Doberman with a birth defect that left his hind legs paralyzed. His mom was taken in to get fixed and his litter was discovered after she was opened up. We think he may have been injured in this process since the rest of his litter is very healthy and both parents were from excellent bloodlines and registered. He was rescued from previous owners who left him to fend for himself outside dragging himself around on a fresh tail dock.He was treated for giardia, coccidia, an extreme bacterial skin infection all over his body and malnourishment. Under vet care and meds 7 times a day, he pulled through and is now fully recovered and very healthy. He doesn't know he is any different from other dogs, he gets around great in his wheelchair or hind support straps and loves to run and play with other dogs. Inside, he scoots around in a 'hop/scoot' fashion and is surprisingly mobile (aside from stairs). He does wear pants or diapers to protect his tail from rub burns.He is learning to play gently after earning the nickname 'land shark' and has shown improvement with play biting. He is not aggressive with any animals or people, even when food is involved but doesn’t understand how strong his bite can be sometimes. He does have bowel control and is working on housebreaking but may not have full control of his bladder. Hoping he will gain more control as he ages but he tends to dribble occasionally. He will need bigger wheelchairs as he gets older but is highly mobile and functional with the right tools. He is very intelligent and knows how to enjoy life to the fullest despite everything he's been through. He loves meeting new friends, human or animal and would love to find his new home!If you feel your home might be the right place for this wonderful dog, the place to start is with the adoption application found at www.dfwrescueme.org/adopt. Once submitted, the foster will contact you to tell you more, and to arrange a meeting! The adoption fee for all of our dogs is $250.00, which includes their vaccinations and spay/neuter.Rocket is participating in the DFW Rescue Me Guest Dog Program, so custody and ongoing care are provided by the foster, not by DFWRM.
