Arlo&rsquo;s Healing Fund 💙🐾&nbsp; Meet Arlo. This big man was what we call an 11th-hour save. He was dangerously close to euthanasia when the Rocky Road Rescue team stepped in and scooped him up just in time. Since then, Arlo has shown us exactly what it means to be a shining light, even while facing some incredibly difficult medical challenges. Arlo has hypothyroidism, which can affect his ability to heal, make him more susceptible to infection, and can have difficulty regulating body temperature. His heat intolerance has been especially challenging during this weather, and getting his condition properly managed with this diagnosis has added another layer of complexity to his recovery. He also has rapidly growing polyps in both ears. They have created significant blockages that are too extensive for our regular veterinary team to operate on safely, so Arlo will need to see a specialist for further treatment. With his ears unable to drain normally and his increased tendency toward infection, it has created a perfect storm, and he has really been struggling. As if that weren&rsquo;t enough (yes, there&#39;s more), Arlo has an abscess on the side of his neck that drains into his ear, causing even more discomfort and complications. So far, Arlo has required an emergency veterinary visit, numerous follow-up appointments, testing, and several medications. Our veterinary team has found a care regimen that is helping keep him comfortable while we wait for results that will determine the next steps for his long-term care and surgical treatment. Through it all, Arlo&rsquo;s incredible foster has been an absolute rockstar. Every day, she provides:&nbsp;🐾 Multiple ear cleanings to manage the drainage&nbsp;🐾 Warm compresses several times a day to prevent the abscess from worsening&nbsp;🐾 Numerous medications to keep him comfortable and help him heal&nbsp;🐾 Endless patience, reassurance, and love&nbsp; And what does Arlo do through all of this? He keeps smiling.&nbsp; He remains the same goofy, joyful boy who is overjoyed to make new friends wherever he goes. His favourite things are his octopi toys (yes, he has a few!), and playing fetch with his favourite ball. Each day, while receiving his treatments, he happily snuggles beside his foster, falls asleep snoring, and rests one paw on her as if to remind her that they are in this together.&nbsp; Arlo loves hard, loves fully, and brings infectious happiness to everyone lucky enough to meet him. Now, this very special boy needs our community behind him.&nbsp; We are raising funds to help cover Arlo&rsquo;s emergency and ongoing veterinary care, specialist consultation, testing, medications, and the surgical treatment he is expected to need. Every donation, no matter the amount, will help give Arlo the comfort, healing, and future he deserves.&nbsp; 💙 Please donate if you&rsquo;re able.&nbsp;💙 If you cannot donate, sharing Arlo&rsquo;s story can make an enormous difference.&nbsp;💙 Together, we can help this joyful boy keep smiling.

Because of your support, Arlo is getting the care he needs as he continues his journey toward healing. Every donation helps provide specialist consultations, medications, diagnostics, and the treatment he needs to become comfortable again. Most importantly, your gift reminds us that dogs like Arlo are never alone.&nbsp; Thanks to this incredible community, we can continue saying &quot;yes&quot; to dogs who need us most. Arlo is still the same goofy, lovable boy who greets everyone with a wagging tail, treasures his octopi toys, and never misses a chance to play fetch.&nbsp; He doesn&#39;t know how many people are cheering him on, but we know that your compassion is helping give him the future he deserves. Thank you for believing in Arlo, believing in rescue, and believing that every dog deserves a chance. With gratitude, The Rocky Road Rescue Team 🐾💙
