Do you have an indoor swimming pool for Rosco the dog?

Stacey Butler and Cory Bembridge are hoping someone comes forward to help their pet get the hydrotherapy he needs before surgery.

Asking to use someone's pool is an unusual request, but Rosco has unusual needs.

The nine-month-old Newfoundland puppy was born with a rare genetic disorder. He has less than 10 per cent muscle mass in his hips, which makes it difficult for him to walk.

When Butler and Bembridge took Rosco to the veterinarian a few weeks ago, they were shocked to hear he needed both hips replaced.

"Devastated was a good way to put it," said Bembridge.

Rosco has had surgery on one side. Before the vet can proceed with the other, Rosco needs to build up muscle.

The prescription? Fifteen minutes of hydrotherapy a day, several days a week, for about a month.

Butler turned to Kjijiji to look for somewhere her pet could swim. The post netted more than 350 responses in 48 hours.

"It's really overwhelming that there's that many good people around who are willing to do whatever they can for a fellow animal lover," said Butler.

The couple says offers to help have come from all over the country.

But they're still looking for a generous person in Moncton who will welcome a pooch in their pool.
