About Rocky

Rocky is a 2-year-old brown Chihuahua who has been through significant change after losing his owner. He, along with his best friend Oso, a 1-year-old with adorable dark brown and white coloring, arrived at the sanctuary feeling unsure of what to expect. Initially frightened by the sudden shift in their lives, the pair has slowly started to feel comfortable in their new environment. As they adjust, their playful and affectionate sides are emerging. It’s heartwarming to see them letting their guards down and learning to trust again. Both dogs are currently in a foster home, where they're getting a taste of what cozy living looks like. These little guys don’t need much—just love, patience, and each other to flourish. They are ready for a fresh start together, having already been through so much. If you’re interested in giving Rocky and Oso a loving forever home, please fill out an adoption application. This dynamic duo is waiting for their next chapter to begin!
