1/12/23 Sweet little 4.8 pound Rocky the Puppy was adopted today. Rocky came into United Yorkie Rescue almost 4 months ago. He was a sick little 4 month old puppy suffering from a liver shunt that was not being treated. He was probably days away from death and needed immediate care. He was starving from the lack of a proper diet and sick from the effects of an untreated liver shunt. When he arrived at his foster home he was only 3.2 pounds. The first thing he was given was the proper food for a liver disease. He gobbled it right down, he was so hungry. From then on he was on the road to recovery. He got his liver shunt surgery and healed properly. However, the surgery follow up bile acid test showed that although the shunt was successfully closed the blood flow in his liver found another pathway and most likely caused a secondary shunt. He would need to be forever cared for like a liver shunt boy. Would he ever be adopted?

Today Rocky was adopted. He went to his perfect forever home. His new mommy and daddy understand the care he will need for the rest of his life in order to have a long and healthy life. They promised Rocky they would do everything they have to and more to give him the best life ever. They assured Rocky that all his medical needs will be taken care of and would spare no expenses. And there's more. Rocky has a fur sister who is only a year older than him. She is about his size and also loves to play. There is a beautiful enclosed screen room with a nice patio and a grassy area. There is also a big fenced yard for running around in. Rocky will have a stay at home mom and dad to give him so much attention and love. He will get to sleep on their bed and get all the cuddles and love he ever wanted. Rocky found his perfect forever family. Happy life forever, Rocky. Your foster mom and dad are so happy for you.
