About Rocky

Meet Rocky, a truly charming and gentle soul. He’s eager to snuggle up on your lap, and his sweet demeanor makes him a joy to be around. Rocky, estimated to be around 8 or 9 years old but full of youthful spirit, weighs about 35 lbs. and is on the smaller side of medium. He’s a peaceful companion, cohabitating well with both dogs and cats, and he adores receiving kisses from them. Rocky is a quick learner; he’s mastered the dog door and is house trained, so he knows the ropes! Ideally, he needs a secure, fenced yard for playtime or an owner committed to keeping him leashed outside. He's also crate trained, behaving well when left alone. Rocky came to us with some skin issues from sun exposure, likely from his previous life living outdoors on a chain in Texas. Despite this, his loving nature remains unscathed. This delightful boy is looking for a warm and cozy forever home where he can experience the love he truly deserves. You’ll be rewarded with sweet moments of him asking for cuddles and softly snoring while you pet him. If you think you can provide Rocky with a special home, don’t hesitate to reach out!
