About Rocky

Rocky is a stunning young male Dachshund, about a year old, with a beautiful black and tan coat. He weighs 17 pounds, which is a perfect size for him. This affectionate boy thrives on attention and will quickly become your best friend, always wagging his tail and finding his favorite spot right next to you on the sofa. He loves to bark, so expect a vocal presence in your home. However, Rocky requires a dedicated owner because he needs a lot of time at home to adjust and continue training. He's still working on potty training and has a habit of chewing things he shouldn’t, so be prepared to keep a close eye on him. Rocky does best in a house with a yard, as he needs space to play. He doesn't get along with cats but enjoys the company of other dogs, making him an ideal addition if you already have a furry friend. Older considerate children are welcome in his new home, but small kids might not be the best fit for him. If you're interested in bringing Rocky into your family, please complete the adoption application for approval. Click apply to start the adoption process.
