Our adoptable dog Mandalay the Pittie: https://rockykanaka.com/adoption/her-...

Location: San Diego Breed: Pitbull

About: Mandalay is a young, affectionate white and black pit bull mix who found herself in a crowded shelter on May 11th with no microchip or ID—and no one came to claim her. As her time ran out, it looked like her story might end far too soon. Thankfully, a kind foster stepped up, and Mandalay joined Lab and Friends rescue.

Our adoptable dog Miss Nibbles the English Bulldog: https://rockykanaka.com/dog-with-massive-tumors-was-hours-away-from-being-put-down-then-this-happened/

Location: Florida

Breed: English Bulldog

About: She was facing the heartbreaking reality of spending her final days alone in a cold shelter kennel until one rescue refused to let that happen. When True & Faithful Pet Rescue Mission (TFPRM) heard about Miss Nibbles, they didn't hesitate. No one else was coming for her, so they hit the road and brought her home to love, comfort, and dignity in her final chapter.

NYC Breed:

Special needs Lab with megaesophagus Monte is a lovable Lab in NYC who's been overlooked for months—just because he has megaesophagus, a condition that means he eats upright in a special chair. But the truth? He's joyful, affectionate, and already trained to handle his needs. Rocky and Kelly once fostered a dog with this exact condition—Jalapeño—and they can tell you firsthand: these dogs rock. You just have to see past the diagnosis.
