About Rocky

Meet Rocky, a 11-year-old Standard Poodle who became part of our rescue on October 23, 2026. Though we’re still uncovering his unique personality, Rocky is eager to find a family that can support him as he gets to know new environments. He’s not always confident around other dogs and cats during walks, but he previously lived with another dog. With the right introductions, he could thrive with a canine companion. This small, resilient pup is vaccinated, microchipped, and neutered, making him ready for his new adventure. If you’d like to get to know Rocky, reach out to our team today!
