Story
Ron is a spunky little guy, a miniature Aussie, that would love his very own person! Ron is prone to separation anxiety, which is the main reason he came to us at the refuge. But we have done a lot of work with Ron, and he is a new man! He now has learned to go in his crate and settle when we are gone. A crate is a must for Ron when you are gone. Ron is so loving and just wants to share that with you. He does tinkle occasionally when he is just so excited he can’t stand it! But he has gotten a lot better with that, as well! Ron can jump a bit, so we would recommend no small children. Ron would make an amazing companion for someone…is that someone you?

Story
Corrie originally came to the refuge in really bad shape. She had been spotted with her puppies but could not be caught. One of her puppies was finally captured and adopted…and about 3 weeks after capturing her puppy, Corrie was able to be captured. Corrie had been shot multiple times, and a witness saw her get hit by a car. But Corrie is a fighter and a survivor! She still has at least one bullet lodged in her back area. It would do more damage to remove it then to just leave it. Corrie shows some neurological issues, mainly in the way she walks and runs. But she can get up on the couch on her own, she can run and keep up with all the dogs, and she is a happy girl! Corrie goes to fundraising events with us and regularly attends our library program where we bring dogs to read with the kids. Corrie would love to have her very own person or family!

Story
Lindi was rescued from the euthanasia list from a local shelter. She is a terrier mix, approximately one year old. She is spayed and up to date on vaccinations. Lindi LOVES people! She has lots of puppy energy for about 10 minutes, before she settles in with some good chew toys or her favorite humans in their recliner! Lindi has been with many types of dogs and has had no issues with them. She occasionally gives a little lip snarl if she has a toy with her, but that has just been her way to yse dog language to communicate with the other dogs around here. Lindi is crate trained and house trained. She is such an overall very sweet, happy girl, looking for the right family! Contact us and find us @rockyroadrefuge on Facebook for more info on Lindi!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Darling little Cherry is a 4 1/2-month-old Boston pup who has a cherry eye. She will be seeing the vet soon for a full evaluation and we will schedule her surgery once she has a complete work-up. Cherry is extremely affectionate, and she does really well with young children and other dogs. Her foster family raves about her, and she's got a real fan club in the two young girls with whom she shares her current home. More to come after her next vet visit! Note: We are not accepting applications for Cherry at this time. Once she's medically cleared, we will open the flood gates. <3 If you have questions specifically about Cherry, please email us at info@abtrr.org. Cherry is being fostered in the Tulsa, OK area. While we do have a phone number, we have a very small volunteer base and we are often unable to return phone calls in a timely manner. Thank you!
