About Rocky

Meet Rocky! Rocky is a spunky 5-month-old Shih Tzu who weighs just about 4 lbs. Despite his tiny stature, he brims with energy and personality. In his foster home in Round Lake Park, IL, he's flourished into a happy and playful puppy, always ready to bring joy and laughter to his future family. He’s learning the ropes of house training, and while leash walking is still a work in progress, he enjoys short strolls around the neighborhood. Rocky is quite the explorer, especially when it rains! When he's not off on his puppy adventures, he's all about snuggles and being held, making him the perfect companion. Rocky has been raised around a 4-year-old child, and he interacts wonderfully with kids and other dogs. He’s up to date on his puppy vaccines, and Tiny Paws Small Dog Rescue will take care of his neuter when he's old enough. His adoption fee is $700. Ready to fall in love?
