About Rocky

Rocky is a little survivor with a huge heart. His early days were tough; he survived a brutal attack by a pack of dogs that left him with a serious throat injury. Though the vet was unsure if he would survive, Rocky’s determination and the love he received helped him make an incredible recovery. Now, you can barely see his scar. Despite everything he’s endured, Rocky radiates sweetness and love. He is an expert snuggler who enjoys curling up in laps, soaking up affection. Recently, he’s discovered the joy of toys and bones, adding playful fun to his days. As a travel companion, Rocky is fantastic in the car and walks nicely on a leash. His adorable underbite gives him a unique charm that makes him even more irresistible. After overcoming so much, all Rocky needs now is a forever family to provide him with the happy ending he deserves. An adoption fee of $500 is required. Let's help Rocky find his perfect match!
