Meet Rocky Balboa, an adorable 13-pound Maltese Poodle mix with a gentle heart and sweet personality. Due to personal circumstances, his previous owner made the difficult decision to surrender him, and now Rocky is looking for a loving new home where he can feel safe and secure. Rocky can be a little shy at first and needs some time to warm up to new people and environments. A quieter home would suit him best, allowing him the chance to settle in at his own pace. Once he feels comfortable, Rocky's playful and affectionate side begins to shine through, and he becomes a fun little companion who enjoys spending time with his people. This handsome boy is looking for a patient adopter who will give him the understanding and love he needs to build confidence and truly thrive. Stop in and meet my cute self in person during our adoption hours. For more information, email info@ahconnects.org or call us at 847-697-2880 x: 0, and the staff will be happy to help you. All of our dogs and puppies go home spayed or neutered, microchipped, and heartworm tested (for dogs 7 months and older). They are also up to date on core vaccines, as well as heartworm, flea, and tick preventatives. Each adoption includes a 3.5-pound bag of dog or puppy food and a free vet exam at one of our participating veterinary partners.
