About Rocky

Rocky is a charming 3-year-old, 65-pound Lab mix with a delightful personality and an adorable underbite that hints at a hint of Dogue de Bordeaux in his lineage. He came to Big Fluffy Dog Rescue with his sister after their family faced a tough situation, but his sister has since found her forever home while Rocky is still in search of his. This lovable guy is housebroken and well-trained, making him an excellent companion. Rocky thrives when engaged in activities like runs, long walks, or any interesting challenges that stimulate his mind. He would be a perfect fit for an active person who enjoys outdoor adventures. A fenced yard and daily exercise are key for his happiness. Rocky enjoys the company of friendly dogs, especially those who appreciate his playful, wrestling style. He previously lived with children but seems to favor a home with older teens or adults who can match his energy. While he's been agreeable with cats, a cautious introduction is necessary, as his curiosity about them can be a bit playful. An ideal adopter will be kind and consistent, as Rocky responds well to clear expectations. He has a knack for negotiation, especially when snacks are involved. If you’re looking for a well-behaved, energetic companion with a distinct charm, Rocky is ready to meet you. Thinking about welcoming Rocky into your home? Apply today!
