Meet the incredible Grandpa Rocky! 🌟 This sweet soul is between 10 to 14 years old, weighing in at a solid 70 lbs of love! A charming Labrador Terrier Mix, he burst onto the scene as the 1000th resident at the NYCACC, becoming somewhat of a celebrity after being featured in the Daily News! 📰 Rocky's journey has been a rollercoaster ride. After facing tough times and developing kennel cough, he found his way into a nurturing foster home where he has been thriving. This gentle giant is a social butterfly and a true couch potato at heart—he loves nothing more than curling up next to family members and soaking in all that affection! 🎉 His former family let it slip that he was adopted 7 years ago from a not-so-nice situation, but now he’s ready for a second chance at a forever home filled with love. A typical day in Rocky's life involves lounging around, enjoying yummy wet food, and longing for those daily walks—he's accustomed to multiple strolls throughout the day. 🚶‍♂️ Although he’s not a fan of car rides (who can blame him?), he loves to interact with the world around him! His favorite pastime? Giving a little paw or lick on your hand when he needs to go out before his scheduled walk. Talk about a good communicator! 🐾 His foster mom reveals he’s a champ when it comes to house training—no dirty secrets here! He doesn't chew on furniture and is as quiet as a mouse, making him the perfect companion for those peaceful days at home. Oh, and on walks? He may get a tad excited to see fellow furry friends, but his initial greetings are sweet and short-lived, as he quickly turns back to focus on his human. 💖 One unique charm about Grandpa Rocky is his adorably poking tongue—thanks to some missing teeth! It’s a reminder of his resilience and spirit. Although he’s a bit hard of hearing, he responds marvelously to hand signals, proving that communication knows no bounds!
