This little cutie is Rocky. He is a 4 month old survivor with a story that belongs in a movie. At just 10 pounds, he was recently rescued in Costa Mesa after a harrowing encounter with a pack of coyotes. Though he was saved by a kind passerby, no owners ever stepped forward, leaving this brave pup ready for a fresh start with our rescue. Because he spent his earliest months learning to survive on his own, he is currently a “quiet soul” who is still processing the fact that he is finally safe. He isn’t aggressive; he’s simply a bit shy and observant, waiting for the right person to show him that the world isn’t a scary place anymore. He is looking for a home that offers a calm, predictable environment where he can truly decompress and let his guard down. Adopting Rocky means being the person who turns his movie-worthy survival story into a fairytale ending. He doesn't need a high-energy lifestyle right away—just a soft bed, a steady routine, and a patient heart to help him transition from “survival mode” to “puppy mode.” If you have room in your home and some extra love to give and a playful dog to show him the ropes, you could be the turning point in this little survivor’s life.
