SWIPE FOR BEFORE/AFTER: True to his name, Rockstar overcomes his rough past as a suspected dogfighting victim 🧡 Last August, at the request of the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division - SLED, the ASPCA assisted with the removal of a group of dogs from a property in South Carolina. Suspected to have been used for dogfighting, the dogs were transported to the ASPCA Cruelty Recovery Center (CRC) in Columbus, Ohio, to receive much-needed medical and behavioral care. Amongst them was a shy pup named Rockstar 🌟 Albeit fearful of his environment and walking on a leash, Rockstar stood out for being a calm and gentle boy from the start. In fact, he loved people and other dogs so much that those became his biggest motivators for working through his fear! Soon enough, Rockstar became comfortable on a leash and exploring new places. He was so good with other pups that he even became a helper dog, where his job was to help bring out the playful side of more fearful or shut-down dogs. After a lifetime of being chained up, Rockstar made leaps and bounds with our staff at the CRC, and all that was left was to find him his paw-fect adopter. Shortly after moving out of her childhood home, Hope S. was at the CRC looking for a new companion. She met Rockstar and immediately had a strong connection with him. There are some misconceptions surrounding dogfighting victims, and, like with all our adoptables, our staff thoroughly explained Rockstar's background to Hope. She was not concerned and brought him home that very same day! Although he was anxious that first week, Hope did all she could to make him feel welcome. Now, Rockstar is settled into his first-ever loving home and is showing off his personality quirks more and more. Hope has started running with Rockstar and is working on training with him, which she loves to do! Hope notes, "[Rockstar] doesn't have an angry bone in his body, he's just a happy little boy. He has completely changed my life." If you'd like to read more about Rockstar's journey and how we help support victims of dogfighting, click the link below. https://bit.ly/4jztzVr #ASPCA #HappyTail
