LOCATION: WALNUTPORT, PA

HEADLINER:

Rockette (aka Sunshine, aka Old Lady) is a very sweet 6 year old mastiff. She was found with a badly broken leg that required amputation, but please do not tell her that. After less than a month since surgery she loves to run and play and sleep in the fall leaves.

HISTORY: Rockette was found by animal control after she had fallen in a quarry. She suffered multiple fractures which led to her hind leg amputation.

PERSONALITY:

Sweet, lovable, a good girl who loves to cuddle and be cuddled. Easy going and well behaved. She loves to go outside when her humans or dog friends are out with her. She will run and play and then promptly find a shady spot for a quick nap.

FAVORITE ACTIVITIES: Being with her people and dog friends. Loves her treats (we don't ask her to sit due to her hind leg amputation)

MEDICAL ISSUES: Amputation, Lyme Disease

WHAT WOULD BE THE BEST KIND OF HOME: Rockette will do well in a home where she is with her people most or all day just hanging out. She loves to be cuddled and give big wet kisses. She would prefer to be an only dog or with submissive dogs that will allow her mothering nature.
