About Rocky

Rocky is on the lookout for a loving foster or forever home as his family is facing medical challenges, resulting in his rehoming. At just turning 4 years old, this charming Bouvier and poodle mix has a playful spirit and plenty of love to give. While he knows some basic commands, Rocky could use a little training on his leash manners, especially when encountering other dogs he wants to play with. This sweet boy has a knack for sneaking food off the counters and is quick to turn trash into treasure if left unchecked. Rocky thrives in an environment without small dogs, cats, or farm animals, but he has interacted well with children aged 7 and older. Located in the Houston area of Texas, Rocky is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and microchipped. If you're ready to welcome this delightful companion into your home, reach out for more information. Your new best friend is waiting to be discovered.
