Animals Assisted by Rocky's Bridge
Honey, May 30, 2025
We received a call from Honey's vet asking for help for Honey and her owner. Honey is a hemophiliac and has costly injections that must be given each month in addition to the need for testing. Honey is obviously well loved and just needed a little help this month to cover the cost of required testing. We were happy to help!
Mufusa, April 15, 2025
We received a call from a community member whose dog needed surgery to remove a foreign object. It turns out it was an entire sock, still in tact. We were able to help them out with the extra $596 they needed!
Mocha, March 16, 2025
We received an urgent call for a mama dog that had given birth a couple of days earlier, but was still in labor and pushing. We knew that this was a life and death situation. She was taken to Mitchell Mill Animal Hospital where an emergency C-section was performed. Sadly, the remaining puppy didn’t make it, but Mocha was saved and able to be spayed while in surgery, and given vaccines and antibiotics.
Taco, May 24, 2025
We received a call from a citizen needing help with an emergency visit for her dog, Taco. Unfortunately, Taco's owner had to make the difficult decision to euthanize in the best interest of Taco. While this is never the outcome we hope for, Rocky's Bridge is thankful to have been able to pay for Taco to be peacefully laid to rest instead of suffering.
Dude, April 12, 2025
Dude, (now Bark) was adopted from Granville County Animal Shelter in early 2025. He was high heartworm positive and Rocky's helped by paying for his heartworm treatment. We also paid for all of his vaccines and got him ready for his new, healthy, happy life.
Socks, March 4, 2025
We received a request for help from a community member whose cat, Socks, was not eating, drinking, or using the litter box. We were able to offer $200 in assistance for an emergency vet visit, but sadly, Socks was unable to be saved. We offer our deepest condolences to his owners. Thank you to our supporters for allowing us to provide assistance in such a difficult time.
Rascoe, February 16, 2025

Beagle, February 4, 2025
We received a call for help for a beagle who needed an exam and all the things needed to get her started on the right path.
Daisy, January 22, 2025
Daisy, a dog at Granville County Animal Shelter, was in need of an x-ray which Rocky's Bridge was able to cover so she could be on her way to rescue or a family soon.
Winston, February 25, 2025
In 2024, Winston was adopted from Granville County Animal Shelter. Rocky’s planned to sponsor his heartworm treatment as well as other health needs discovered after his exam.
Rocky's has continued to assist Winston, including helping with a recent emergency visit need.
Buddy, January 30, 2025
We were called by a vet hospital for a dog that needed sedation for a possible blockage. The owner didn’t have enough to cover what was needed, so Rocky’s helped them
out.
Luna, December 2024
We were asked to help out with vaccines, spaying, heart worm testing and also got her 6 months of preventative.
Segar, December 19, 2024
Seger, is a 5 month old Maine Coon that was born with a heart defect. With assistance from Rocky's, he was recently diagnosed at NC State Vet School with VSD, Ventricular Septal Defect. This is causing his body to work extra hard, creating an enlarged heart and some congestive heart failure. He is on 3 medications to bring these things into check. In 2-3 months, he'll have another echocardiogram to see if his heart has improved enough to have pulmonary artery banding to increase right ventricular outflow, which will decrease the amount of blood going into the other ventricle.

Sahara, October 29, 2024
Sahara was a Granville County Shelter resident who needed a health certificate in order to travel out of state to be placed with a rescue. Rocky's was happy to pay the certificate fee and get the Sahara to where she needed to be with rescue!
Bruno, October 2024
Bruno's mom called for assistance after her sweet boy had been shot several times. After examination at the vet, the vet thought it would be in his best interest to help him over the bridge. While never the outcome we hope for, we were thankful to support this family during such a devastating time.
Lab Necropsy, December 2024
The Franklin County Animal Shelter needed assistance with a necropsy after an outbreak of illnesses with several cats. This allowed the shelter to determine the exact cause of death and ensure that no other cats were impacted.
Chaz, November 2024
Chaz was taken to the Granville County Animal Shelter after escaping his home and being hit by a car. Rocky's was able to help his owner pay the shelter fee to claim Chaz and helped with pain meds and antibiotics for the scrapes. He was happy to return home and was feeling better in no time!
Chopper, October 16, 2024
We got a call from Chopper's owner asking for assistance with surgery. He had had surgery for a hematoma on one ear, then the second ear ended up with the same and needed surgery for that one as well. The owner couldn't afford the second surgery and this little guy was in pain. We were happy to assist so Chopper could get back to feeling great!
Buddy Boy, October 10, 2024
Buddy Boy was surrendered to the shelter for euthanasia because he was old, possibly deaf, and blind. This little dude was super sweet and very happy and was lucky to have a wonderful rescue pull him from the shelter. Rocky's helped pay toward his vet cost to repair a broken jaw due to progressive dental disease. We are so happy Buddy Boy was rescued and on his way to a healthy, loved life!
Maverick, September 2024
Maverick was rescued from the shelter by Neshama Animal Rescue. Rocky's assisted with testing and other expenses for his extensive vet needs.

Noelle, September 2024
Rocky's assisted with vet bills for Noelle, who was rescued by Paws For Life NC after she very traumatically lost a leg.
Rain, September 2024
Rocky's received a call to assist Rain, who was adopted from Granville County Animal Shelter back in 2021. Rain was a staff and volunteer favorite during her six months at the shelter. Rain needed vet expense assistance due to vomiting and pain. With Rocky's help,
Rain received an exam, xrays, bloodwork, and fluids. Sadly, the vet recommended euthanasia for Rain, which we assisted with. Rain is greatly missed.
