ROCKY'S STORY
This is the story about my first Loyal Rescue dog Rocky.
Rocky was seven years old when he was released from a puppy mill. He looked like he had never been groomed, had only five teeth and his paws had probably never touched grass. His fur was a mess of mats and snarls.
His foster mama Sue got him groomed and all cleaned up. She described Rocky as a little gentleman because he was so quiet and just sat still wherever you placed him.
When we brought him home to our house he was a scared little monkey. He would back up until he couldn't go further if people approached him. After several months spending time with his then companion dog Heidi, he began to trust us.
Rocky was only seven pounds but his personality grew so big! He owned every room he walked into.
Rocky inspired us to become foster parents and after one year we took in our first foster dog. It's worse than potato chips because once you get started you just can't stop!
When Rocky was fourteen we had to make that super hard decision and we let him go in peace. We will never forget that little man.

Working in animal rescue is rewarding, but can also be heartbreaking. And every once in a while, we get to share news with you that demonstrates SO CLEARLY how every single moment of heartache and joy is worth it.
Our sweet, amazing, optimistic and beautiful Ernestina has been adopted!
She has joined her forever family and is settling in amazingly well. She has two fur siblings, and is basically living in a non-stop puppy party. It could not be more perfect.
We would like to thank everyone that supported Loyal Rescue in getting this sweet girl from a bad situation to a blissful forever home, from health challenges to wellness. To all the people that donated to her care and sent emotional support to her and her foster family: thank you! And thank you to Dr. Harkness, who was always there for her, even when he has been transitioning to retirement. Her foster parents will miss Ernestina immensely (this was as close to a foster fail as you can get without actually failing!) but are over the moon to see their sweet little girl living her best life. Ernestina's foster dad describes her as a "glass half full" kind of girl, and we just know that she will flourish with her forever family.
Enjoy your amazing life, Ernestina - you deserve every minute of happiness and non-stop playtime that is coming your way!
