Earlier this summer, when news spread of how Rachel Dean had rescued a pit bull after his jaw was almost completely torn off, support for the puppy poured in from all over. Rachel said she didn’t expect any sort of recognition for her actions. But, the Red Cross thought otherwise.
The injured puppy was surrendered to Rachel Dean at Absolute Auto in Fulton. “When the vet told me that he could save him, I said, Go for it!’†Rachel said. “They put him on a special diet to get his weight up because he was malnourished. The vet put a muzzle on his jaw; we hope that it heals back together.â€Â If not, Rockford will be transported to Cornell for surgery that could cost as much as $5,000.
Anyone wishing to contribute to Rockford’s recovery may do so at Fruit Valley Vet Clinic, 7100 Route 104, Oswego.
