About Rocky

Meet Rocky, a 6-year and 8-month-old neutered male Cocker Spaniel in need of a loving home. Weighing 41 pounds, he’s a big sweetheart who thrives on companionship and gets along well with both people and other dogs. Rocky does face some ongoing health challenges, specifically skin and ear issues that require Cytopoint injections and occasional treatments for ear infections. His previous family deeply loved him but could no longer afford his medical needs, so it’s important that his new adoptive family has the means and dedication to manage these requirements. In return, Rocky will offer you unwavering love and loyalty. If you’re ready to provide a caring environment for him, please apply for adoption and let Rocky become part of your family. Potential adopters must have a verifiable veterinary history and should be willing to travel to the Tampa area for adoption if approved. Only approved applicants will be contacted.
