About Rocky

Meet Rocky, a lively German Shepherd mix with a dash of Dachshund or Corgi. Born in December, Rocky is at the perfect age for puppy antics and learning new things. He’s smart—sometimes a bit too smart for his own good—loyal, and curious about just about everything in the house. Shoes? He’ll investigate. Plants? Those require very thorough sniffing (and maybe a gentle nibble). Food? He will absolutely claim it for himself. Rocky likes to play hard, excel at zoomies, and appears determined to explore every lost sock or crumb under the couch. He’s mostly potty trained and happily learning the ropes around the house. Expect him to follow you everywhere, eager to offer his best impression of a furry security guard in training. He adores belly rubs and squeaky toys, and if you love puppy kisses, Rocky is a top-shelf provider. He gets along with dogs, is friendly with kids (though sometimes bouncy and working on manners), and is curious about cats—mostly wanting to chase, but not harm them. With some patience, positive training, and time to grow up, Rocky will make a fiercely loyal friend who brings laughter and love to your life. His puppy cuteness is dangerously strong—be warned.
