My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Foster, adopt, or foster-to-adopt Rocky.

Rocky is a very handsome boy, intelligent and a quick learner! This 5+ year-old already is house-trained, great on leash, dog- and cat-friendly, neutered, vaccinated, and healthy.

Although Rocky was neglected and possibly abused in the first few years of his life, he wants to trust and love people when given the time and space that he needs to approach them at his own pace. Rocky loves car rides and the outdoors, and is great indoors. He is curious, smart, and makes a great companion to a dog-savvy person/family who can be kind and patient. Rocky just needs to learn that it’s safe to relax and have fun, to be happy in our human-centric world.

Rocky is looking for a loving home with no children and a commitment to working with Rocky. His family needs to provide him with adequate mental and physical enrichment and activities, help him build his confidence, and train him using force-free, positive, reward-based methods. This is crucial for lowering his fears and anxieties as well as avoiding situations that will stress him out or make him feel helpless and vulnerable.

If you're ready to open your heart and home to Rocky, please reach out to Farah Ravon. Your kindness could unlock a world of joy and companionship with Rocky as your loyal friend! We will consider a foster, adopt, or foster-to-adopt arrangement.

More about this rescue

Formed in 2017, One Planet Rescue may be a new rescue organization, but founder Farah Ravon, is far from new to the rescue community.

Farah’s extensive experience volunteering for local rescue organizations, as well as her latest work as the U.S. Representative, and Foreign Adoption Coordinator for Vafa Animal Shelter the last 6+ years, provided experience with rescuing animals from around the world.

Here at One Planet Rescue, our work is focused on injured and special needs dogs and cats who require immediate care. Because many of these dogs and cats do come from abroad, we are diligent about fully vaccinating, and spay/neuter prior to our rescue transport. (Sole exceptions would be puppies or kittens).

Although we would never turn down a local case, when rescuing abroad, we always open each case with the requirement of, foster to adopt. This protocol is set in place to confirm the rescue is the right fit for the family interested, and if they are not the right fit the rescue will be returned back to a One Planet Rescue foster.

One Planet Rescue does not have a local facility, rather individual sponsorships makes it possible for us to rescue dogs and cats from all over the world. We also work solely with foster families, this frees up donation funds to go directly to the many costs pertaining to the pets welfare. Domestic transportation, vet bills, foster care, are just some of these examples.
