About Rocky

Rocky is a lively and affectionate 20-pound neutered male Dachshund mix looking for his permanent home. He is likely between 7 to 10 years old; while his face shows some greys, he has the energy and spirit of a much younger dog. It’s clear he was cherished at some point—how he ended up on the streets is still a mystery. Rocky is friendly and gets along well with people and other dogs, although he does tend to chase cats. He loves going for walks and enjoys car rides, thriving on affection and attention. Rocky is house trained, though he did have a few accidents during his first week in foster care, so he may need a little patience as he settles into a new home. Training is rewarding with him, as he responds well to praise. He’s eager to find a family to share his love with. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
