Have you ever been accused of something not your fault? Sucks, right? Rocky thinks so. He's a four year old hound mix rescued from life as a bait dog and put into a home where he was mistreated and forced to fight back. Now he's back at the shelter convicted of a crime he didn't commit and sentenced to death. PLEASE help us at Irving House help Rocky. If you have room in your heart & home be Rocky's IH foster. He's not ready to die.

Well, that's as straightforward as I know how to be. Time is running out for Rocky because he's been deemed aggressive and nobody wants him. In truth, he is a gentle soul who despite being caged and confined to solitary  STILL holds out his tugge when he spots the random passer-by.  He walks well on leash, doesn't pull or chase, plays well with others and even likes bath time. His favorite thing to  do  though is to  curl up in his blanket next to his human buddy.

 So how'd he get the aggressive label? After being rescued from life as a bait dog when a local fighting ring was broken up Rocky was easy to adopt out and placed into a home where the teenage son charged at him, wrestled him into a headlock and slammed him to the floor. When Rocky got up he was disoriented and when the kid charged at him again, Rocky snapped at him. The family returned him to the shelter, told the tale, and Rocky was caged and handed a death sentence.

 Rocky is on the ropes...please don't let him go down for the count.
