KRIS KRINGLE'S ORIGINAL STORY: Our boy has made an amazing recovery. He is a happy little guy who loves his food and his walks. He discovered soft toys and found them delightful to squeak. He will roll over and show you his belly for petting. Kris was wasting away in a county shelter. His eyes were glued shut from discharge, he was in dire need of a dental, & he had mats the size of golf balls with sticks & twigs tangled in his hair. It was no surprise that his owner did not come for him. As soon as he was available, we pulled him from the shelter. Over the course of several days, Kris was neutered, he had a dental & a benign lump was removed. He is now being treated for dry eye. Kris is a Cairn Terrier.

ROWDY'S ORIGINAL STORY: My new name is Rowdy and I am a Cairn mix. It was the weekend after new years and I found myself in a county shelter. My owner did not come for me and I was sad. It seemed like no one was looking for a new family member. But WROC saw me and busted me out. I was so happy I could not contain myself and I smiled and wiggled all the way home. I am just adorable at 5 years old and 14 pounds. I love everything in my foster home, walking, playing, & eating good food. I had a trip to salon and I am stunning! I am a very sweet and loving little doggie. I love to sit next to you and cuddle. So if you have a really good lap, I will be more than happy to sit in it! XOXO Rowdy

Gibbs, Forever Foster Jan 2020

It turned out that our Gibbs has neurological issues. He still loves his food, short walks, and being held like a baby. Because of his special needs, Gibbs will spend the rest of his time with WROC. He will be given the very best care thanks to the generosity of our supporters.

GIBBS' ORIGINAL STORY: Gibbs was running on a really busy 4 lane highway for 2 days before the shelter was able to pick him up. He was exhausted and would not move. Within the hour, they thought he would not make it and they rushed him to their vet. After many medications, gentle care, and a major haircut, Gibbs slowly began to recover. One of WROC's supporters saw Gibbs and let us know about him.

Shelter staff felt like he would be better off with WROC, so they sent him home with a huge bag of food, canned food, comprehensive medical records & his very own harness.
