Rossi is ready!! It has been a long road but he’s finally ready for adoption. If you’re new here then let us introduce you to this 4-year-old cutie! Rossi came to us in December with a broken (nearly severed) toe, a broken pelvis, dislocated hip, wounds all over his face, emaciated and fighting an upper respiratory infection. He had quite the uphill battle! He had all of the surgeries he needed but he wasn’t using his injured leg as quickly as he should have after surgery so we did some physical therapy, slow walks and he finally started using it. It will take time for him to build back the muscle on that leg but he is improving beautifully and some things just can’t be rushed. He has gained some healthy weight but we are purposely keeping him from gaining too much until his body can replenish the muscle needed to support the extra weight. Rossi is the happiest love bug and gets excited for any affection he can get! He is crate trained and not difficult to manage on leash. He did have dog-to-dog resource guarding with food when he came in but considering his condition and the wounds on his face, we weren’t surprised. It has improved massively and he can now eat peacefully with a female Dobie he lives with (even sharing his food with her) but we don’t quite trust him with other male dogs so he would do best in a home with just females. He also has shown he will chase a cat so we think he would do best without kitties in the home. This boy has been thru a lot but he has never let it get him down. He is strong, happy, affectionate and ready for a forever home!
