About Rocky

Meet Rocky. Rocky is a 6-year-old Havanese with a big heart and an even bigger personality. This sensitive little guy forms close bonds with his people and loves being near someone he trusts. Once he feels secure, Rocky becomes affectionate and loyal, often happiest curled up beside you or following you around the house. Though he has a sweet nature, Rocky can be anxious in new situations and around unfamiliar faces, barking when nervous. He'll thrive with an adopter who is patient and understands the needs of anxious dogs. A calm home with plenty of one-on-one attention is ideal for him. While he's mixed well with other dogs in the past, he may do best as the sole pet, free from the hustle and bustle of dog parks or crowded environments. Rocky is kennel trained and mostly house trained, though he might have occasional accidents during stress or adjustments. His perfect match is someone who can spend ample time with him, providing a stable atmosphere. Although he's not a perfect dog, Rocky has all the potential to become a devoted companion in the right setting. He's ready for his forever home, are you? Click apply to start the adoption process.
