Here's what the humans have to say about me:
ROCKO
SHELTER BREED PIT MIX
MALE, 2 YEARS, 51 LBS
HEARTWORM: POSITIVE
DOG FRIENDLY: YES
CAT FRIENDLY: UNKNOWN
HOLD IS UP ON: 4/11/19
Available for 501C3 Rescue ONLY
Located in Vance County Animal Shelter
Rocko was picked up by AC as a stray, he reminds us of a class clown! Rocko is a complete goofball that is so loving, he stopped by everyone's kennel on the way out to give licks! Rocko's hold is up 4/11/19 and can be killed any time after that date at the discretion of the shelter staff.
FREE TRANSPORT up I-95 from NC to NJ every weekend to approved rescues!
The shelter has started the heartworm positive dogs on ivermectin to help start them on the slow kill method of heartworm treatment. Ivermectin alone does not cure heartworm and does not kill the adult heartworm. Adult heartworm will continue to damage a dog’s organs. Thorough heartworm treatment to cure a dog of the disease consists of diagnostics and a two prong approach to treatment for both the adult or immature heartworm. Veterinary care and supervision is key.
We do not handle direct adoptions. All adoptions must either go through the shelter, or contact a rescue group in your area & ask that they save the animal you are interested in so they can facilitate an adoption for you.
