About Rocky

Meet Rocky, a charming young dog in Burbank, CA. He’s about two and a half years old and weighs around 42 pounds. Rocky is a mixed breed with short fur that’s a blend of black, brindle, and white or cream. He’s smart and enjoys participating in family activities, whether it’s joining in during chores or seeking out belly rubs at the end of the day. Rocky is affectionate and relaxed at home. He’s house-trained and neutered, and he takes treats gently. His training is going well, and he already knows commands like sit, lie down, and leave it. He thrives in an environment where he receives daily exercise and consistent training, making it essential for his new owner to have experience with dogs. Rocky would benefit from an adult-only home without other pets, giving him space to gain confidence while settling in. He requires a gentle approach with introductions to new people, having experienced a past incident that makes him wary. His foster family has made progress, and Rocky has shown less reactivity during walks. Although he's still getting used to meeting other dogs, he enjoys his walks and sometimes breaks into zoomies for a bit of fun. His foster family is eager to share Rocky's journey and training progress. They offer support during the adoption process, including meet-and-greets and a one-week home trial with rescue approval. If you're ready to take on an active, intelligent dog who needs a little patience and understanding, Rocky could be the right fit for you. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
