Coastal German Shepherd Rescue

Rocket has been adopted! 12-10-2011

Female about 0 old.

The family that bought Rocket from a so called breeder didn't think very far ahead with regard to the cost of proper care. Neglecting to get even one puppy shot (the seller didn't do so either), Rocket contracted parvo, an often deadly disease in puppies. The owners called us for help and as usual, on a wing & a prayer, we agreed to take him in.

Rocket was hospitalized with parvo but has quickly bounced back. He is happy, gaining weight and feeling good. He lives in a house full of big shepherds and thinks they are a lot of fun to play with. He'll make a great companion to a family and is ready to go to his new home - we would love for him to have another dog to keep company with as he is very friendly and we want to keep it that way!

The minimum adoption donation for adults is $375 and the adoption donation for puppies is $500. This amount only partially covers the cost of veterinary care, boarding fees, and other miscellaneous expenses involved in the temporary care and adoption of our dogs and is tax deductible when permitted by law. The adoption donation provides that all dogs will be spayed or neutered, receive current vaccinations, and are microchipped. If not, arrangements will be made on an individual basis ( i.e., puppies who will need to be altered by 6 mos old). Special consideration may be given to those willing to adopt older dogs or dogs with physical problems.
