About Rocky

Meet Rocky, the rockstar! This charming 2-year-old Shih Tzu–Poodle mix is an adorable 14-pound ball of fur and love. Rocky thrives on companionship and will follow you wherever you go. He’s crate trained, leash trained, housebroken, and non-destructive, which makes him an excellent addition to any home. Despite a small issue with his right hind leg, this does not slow him down. Rocky enjoys zoomies in the garden and happily runs alongside his family. While he can’t jump onto the sofa or bed, this may just be a plus for families preferring a pup who stays on the floor. What Rocky truly needs is a loving, patient family who will cherish him for who he is and make him feel safe. He has so much love to give and is ready to find his forever home!
