About Rocky

Rocky was found as a stray at a local peach stand, and his journey to safety began when animal control picked him up, covered in ticks. Now, this medium-sized, short-coated beauty displays a calm and sweet demeanor. He knows how to sit on command and walks well with other dogs, showing little interest in their company. Recently, Rocky attended an adoption event at a brewery where he charmed everyone. He happily let volunteers dress him up and interacted positively with elementary-aged children. During the event, Rocky patiently watched the commotion, eager to be part of the fun. At around 2 years old and weighing approximately 50 pounds, Rocky is both sweet and handsome, ready to find his forever home. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
