About Rocky

Meet Rocky! Rocky is a striking 6-year-old Queensland Heeler mix, starting a new chapter with CAPS after being found as a stray. He spent time at the Fallon Animal Shelter with another Queensland mix named Rambo. While we’re still learning about his unique personality, we're optimistic about the loving home he deserves. Rocky is neutered and current on vaccinations, making him ready for adoption. As he gets accustomed to his new environment, we'll uncover more about what he needs to thrive. Rocky gets along with dogs, but we’re still assessing how he interacts with cats and children. For now, he needs a patient adopter willing to give him a chance. Rocky is looking for a fresh start; could you be the one to offer him a place to call home? You're invited to join his journey.
