About Rocky

Meet Rocky, a charming three-year-old male Shetland Sheepdog who tips the scales at around 11 lbs. Despite his small stature, Rocky has a big personality and a hint of a Napoleon complex; he truly believes he’s a larger dog! This sweet cuddle bug loves his humans and prefers a home where he can be the only pet, as he doesn't get along with other dogs or cats. Due to his personality, a home with children under 10 is not suitable for him. Rocky thrives in an age-appropriate environment and requires a fenced yard for his adventures. He is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines, making him a healthy companion ready for the right home. If you think you can provide Rocky with the love and attention he deserves, don’t hesitate to reach out today!
