Meet Rocco! Our chicken loving, cozy bed finding, little man looking for a family to give him lots of loving. Rocco is three, adores being close to his people, and never says no to the opportunity to curl up next to you on the couch or on a dog bed at your feet.
Rocco does extremely well with cats. He has also met other small dogs in care with us with proper introductions and has happily shared the building with them. We joke that he is our “front door security” and is sure to let us know anytime Amazon is there to drop off a package.
This little guy gets around beautifully. He has IVDD, or intervertebral disc disease, which means that he relies on his front two legs for mobility. He can stand on his back legs and takes a few steps, but primarily runs around “in his pants” - aka a drag bag, or zooms in his wheelchair. He does not need help going to the bathroom, and wears a belly band and diaper. At night, he prefers to go commando to keep his skin nice and healthy and sleeps in an ex-pen with a washable bottom that’s easy to toss in the wash. He would be a great “first disabled dog” for a family open to adopting their first special needs pup. Our team will happily provide lots of education and ongoing support to ensure a smooth transition home.
Rocco is a total companion animal, and with his personality would do best with someone who is often around the home when not at work. He’s a snuggly guy! He also does great in the car, knows what a puppuccino is and is happy to join you for adventures.

Furgiven Animal Sanctuary (“FAS”) is a nonprofit, no-kill organization dedicated to creating second-chance opportunities for dogs overlooked.
Our focus lies in partnering with public shelters to prevent the euthanasia of dogs and local no-kill shelters to transition their long-term, left-behind dogs to a sanctuary where they can be a priority regardless of age, breed, or ease of placement.
At FAS, we believe that providing a more intimate, individual atmosphere for dogs in these specific circumstances increases their chances of finding forever homes while promoting the animal-human bond within our community of the Greater Midsouth, Tri-State area.
In addition to being a sanctuary for dogs overlooked, FAS assists (through scheduled events) with providing free or discounted veterinary services, low-cost spay/neuter clinics, as well as training and support services for current or future pet owners and advocates.
Our comprehensive adoption process and support services promote thoughtful, healthy relationships among animals and adopters and offer lifetime support to our residents. Animals in our care are spayed/neutered, receive all necessary treatments, vaccinations, and veterinary care for the duration of their time with us, regardless of adoption status.
