About Rocky

Rocky is a 3-year-old Yorkie/Shih Tzu mix and weighs 20 lbs of pure energy and personality. He may look like a tiny teddy bear, but don't let that innocent face fool you; he has a strong character and opinions to share. Full of life, Rocky is housebroken and crate trained, making him a great addition to any home. His love for car rides means he'll be your perfect co-pilot, while walks are an adventure for him—he pulls on the leash with enthusiasm, so using a harness is recommended. Rocky thrives in a fenced-in yard and is friendly with dogs, given proper introductions, although he'd be just as happy as your one and only. He's equally kid-friendly, especially with children aged 8 and up. This affectionate little guy enjoys cuddles, scratches, and he responds well to commands like sit and stay. He’ll run to you when called and will do just about anything for a treat! If you’re ready for an active companion who has plenty of love to give and prefers keeping photoshoots to a minimum, Rocky is eager to meet his forever family. Philly Rescue Angels is ready to match you with this delightful pup. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
