Rocko is a 3 year old Mix-Breed in Freeport, IL, who needs $2,894 for Cystotomy.

Rocko is a hurricane puppy. I found him through a rescue last March and my heart had melted.. he’s the sweetest and cutest thing I have ever met. When I had brought him home my whole world changed. It honestly felt like having a baby all over again.

When rescuing him we had found out he had heart worm. Thankfully, he was able to be treated. Now, a year later, he fell ill due to blatter stones. I took him to the Animal Emergency Clinic in Rockford and now I’m afraid I can’t save my baby due to the costs 😢

Rocko has been amazing since he walked through the door. His facial expressions are enough to light up the room. He is his own little character. Talking to him almost feels like talking to an actual person. Rocko is really mine and my kids best friend. He loves everybody and everything. He even does this little thing where if you ask him a question he’ll grunt or snort to give a yes or no.

Unexpectedly, I’ve encountered a sudden major expense due to my dogs blatter stones. I’m currently on a fixed income and don’t have emergency fund to cover this unforeseen veterinary bills. Having my dog healthy again would mean the world to me; they’re not just a pet.
