About Rocky
Meet Rocky – Our Special Needs Lovebug ❤️
Rocky is a special little guy looking for someone who will see past his extra needs and fall in love with the gorgeous dog he is.
Rocky has Spina Bifida, which has resulted in both urinary and faecal incontinence, so he wears nappies. This is a lifelong commitment and something his future family needs to be comfortable managing.
He also has luxating patellas (loose kneecaps), but at this stage, surgery isn't an option because this boy is simply too active!
Rocky is a sweet boy who absolutely loves his people. He does have a few behavioural quirks, possibly stemming from being relegated to the backyard when his incontinence was discovered. Sadly, sometimes the things that make life harder for our animals are the very things they have no control over.
Rocky also has an anxiety-related humping behaviour when he becomes overstimulated. He's currently on medication and has made HUGE improvements. We're hopeful that with the right environment, routine and understanding, he may eventually not need medication.
A little about Rocky:
🐾 Walks nicely on a lead.
🐾 Loves going for car rides.
🐾 Doesn't hate cats!
🐾 Loves his people and being part of the family.
🐾 Absolutely loves sleeping in bed.
🐾 Knows his spot and generally stays there all night, unless he decides you need an escort to the toilet or kitchen for a midnight drink!
Rocky is fairly typical of the male Frenchies I've known, with a little extra personality thrown in.
He currently lives with six other dogs and gets along with five of them. His only real issue is occasionally with the other male Frenchie when excitement levels are high, particularly when there's a traffic jam at the back door. The boys can have a disagreement in those moments, although thankfully there have been no injuries. Interestingly, at other times you'll find them happily sleeping nose to nose.
What are we looking for?
Rocky's ideal home would be with someone who:
Has experience with French Bulldogs.
Already understands the realities of canine incontinence and managing nappies.
Has the time, patience and commitment to manage his additional needs.
Can provide a calm, structured environment and help him manage overstimulation.
Understands that Rocky is a special needs boy who deserves a lifetime of love, not a lifetime of being pushed aside.
Rocky isn't going to be the right dog for everyone, and that's okay. We're looking for the right someone, not just anyone.
He has so much love to give and would make an absolutely wonderful mate for the right person.
Rocky deserves to be someone's baby, someone's bed buddy and someone's best friend. ❤️
If you think you could be that person, please get in touch with Krazy Kritters Rescue.
