About Rock

Meet Rock, a charming boxer/lab mix who's all about enjoying life to the fullest. This dapper dog excels in napping and tug-of-war, and he loves exploring trails and parks during his daily walks. Rock walks beautifully on a leash, trotting happily without pulling. Having previously lived with cats, he often attempts feline-inspired antics, showcasing his adorably awkward side. After spending two years with his human, he's turned into a true gentleman. While he tends to gravitate toward women, he does warm up to men in time, eventually becoming a loyal cuddle buddy for all. Rock’s delightful personality includes a stubborn streak; when he’s not keen on something, you’ll hear his trademark huffing. He has his own ‘Puppy Tax’ system when it comes to kitchen time and loves sophisticated meals crafted from dog-safe ingredients. He enjoys trips to the groomers and excels during vet visits. Rock is looking for a special companion who can provide him the love and care he truly deserves. Ready to fall for this huffy, cuddly genius? Rock (Rocky) is currently rehomed through the iRehome program, where all covering behavioral and medical information is shared by his owner. Verify any details with them before proceeding with the adoption process.
