Read his story at: Meet Rocky Balboa*|*Florida Dachshund Rescue – FLDR (http://fldr.org/2012/11/16/meet-rocky-balboa/#more-6755)http://fldr.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/rocky-at-shelter2.jpg
This skinny little guy was found as a stray and was taken to the animal shelter where FLDR rescued him. He is very underweight & heartworm positive.
Poor Rocky looks like he has had a tough life. He is between 7 & 8 years old & weighs 14 lbs. Beside being underweight & hearworm positive, he is also anemic. He needs to gain 6 or 7 pounds before he can be neutered, have his teeth cleaned and get his heartworm treatment. So, foster mom is going to work on helping him gain weight in the next month.
GOOD NEWS !!! Rocky has gone from 14 pounds when rescue got him to 22 pounds. See his pictures now. http://fldr.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/rocky-11-28-12.jpg
