About Rocky

Rocky is a ten-year-old Chihuahua weighing only five pounds, and he's faced more challenges than many dogs his size should ever have to endure. Previously adopted from a shelter, he has now returned as a stray, noticeably a pound lighter. The journey back to us remains a mystery, but what's clear is that he arrived with heavy tartar buildup, a grade 2 heart murmur, and some alopecia on his ears and hind legs. From day one, Rocky has showcased a gentle spirit and calm demeanor. Shelter notes describe him as low fear, friendly, and easy to work with—clearly a dog that has known kindness before and still expects it. Currently in a loving foster home, Rocky is thriving. He has been approved for dental work, which will significantly improve his health. His heart murmur is being closely monitored as we get to know him better. Rocky is an embodiment of resilience, ready for a forever home that will ensure he never faces hardship again. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
