Rocky is both affectionate and goofy, showcasing his sweeter side once he feels secure in his environment.

Rocky recently had to be shaved down due to a lack of grooming in the past, but his gentle personality remains intact, and he’s ready for regular grooming to help his coat grow back beautifully. He also has some sensitivity in his skin; an oatmeal shampoo can help keep him comfortable. With a moderate energy level, Rocky enjoys a calm atmosphere and would love to feel secure and cherished. This sweetheart is up to date on vaccinations, tested negative for heartworm, neutered, and microchipped. Rocky needs a loving family who will commit to keeping him happy and healthy.
