**Fostered in Marysville, WA and ready for meet and greets!**
Rocky would be a wonderful family dog, or just a great companion dog. He would be a great first dog for a new dog parent, he’s so loving and loyal!
This social boy thinks everyone is his best friend, and he’s ready for adventure. He happily runs to anyone he sees for attention and affection, with a wagging tail and a smile on his face. He’s great in the car, great on leash, big and small dog friendly, so polite and respectful, well-mannered and sooooo cute. Rocky is a rescue favorite- beloved by volunteers and staff alike!

Rocky is about 10 months old, his surrenderer reports that his dad is a pure-bred Chocolate Lab, and his mom is a pittie mix. We think he will be about 60 lbs when full grown, but of course can’t make any guarantees. He is a playful pup who loves to play with toys, people and other dogs. He would make a great tug-of-war partner! Rocky is a fun time for dogs of all shapes and sizes, here at the rescue he’s spent time with dogs ranging from 15-100 pounds, and he’s done well with all of them! Rocky is great at tailoring his play-style to his play-mate. He’s a very respectful and inclusive player.
Rocky is an affectionate boy who loves to get pets and give kisses. After a good play session, he will even snuggle up for a nice nap. Rocky loves to snuggle, see for yourself in his video.
One of the cutest things about Rocky is the way he “checks in” during playtime. He’ll leave his doggy friends to come press against your legs, and get a few pets. Not only is it adorable, it’s a great sign for future trainability.
Raised in a loving foster home where he's been socialized with other dogs and older kids, Rocky is more than ready to find his forever family. Whether it's an active household or a home with older kids, or other dogs to play with, Rocky is sure to thrive in an environment filled with love and laughter. Rocky would not be a good fit for an apartment, or a home with cats. Rocky already has great house manners, and his foster mom reports him to be fully crate and potty trained. He has great leash skills, he’s an easy car rider- this cutie is set to for success and ready for his forever family!
Rocky does well out and about as well, he’s friendly with strangers, respectful of his surroundings and easy going. He checks in with his person a lot when he’s in new spaces! He’s such a good boy.
Rocky is still young so he will need a family that can commit to training, socialization and all the dedication puppyhood requires. Currently fostered in Texas, he is neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, and ready to travel to his forever family in the PNW or NE areas.
With his playful antics and goofy demeanor, Rocky is sure to bring endless joy and happiness to any home lucky enough to welcome him in. So what are you waiting for? Apply for Rocky today and prepare to fall head over heels in love with this sweet pup!

We facilitate adoptions across the US through our own internal transport to ensure the quality of care. We travel to WA, UT, OR, ID, VA, PA, OH, NY, CT, VT and Canada (Canadian adopters will need to pick up in Bellingham, WA or Brattleboro, VT for the eastern Canadian border)! Our pups travel in comfort with 24/7 care on our USDA licensed vehicles, including buses and cargo vans. You can join along on our private Facebook event page to follow their adventure, connecting you with other adopters and providing updates throughout their transport journey!
You will get to meet your new pup over a video call before signing paperwork, creating a fun and personalized adoption experience!

https://g.co/kgs/UQ5Pyai We care deeply about making the perfect match between dog and family for long term success.
Our rescue has a 2 acre property in Texas where we assess every animal with trainers on staff, we modify behavior as needed, and create individualized behavior plans to help prepare dogs for their future families including crate training, potty training, leash walking, etc. Our fosters are able to attend group trainings and socialization play groups to keep dogs adoption-ready. Our on-site trainers support the positive growth of our dogs and we enjoy seeing their progress!
Our commitment to comprehensive medical care sets us apart. We've received glowing feedback from veterinarians who commend our dedication to ensuring the health and well-being of every animal in our care with treatments that often go above and beyond.
Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet.
The rescue’s hard costs alone (excluding transport) for a healthy dog to go through our program typically range between $412 to $859, which includes boarding, food, medications, vaccines, and spay/neuter. For heartworm-positive dogs, hard costs are upwards of $1,368. Additionally, dogs requiring extended boarding, extra training, or extra medical care—such as dental work, vision care, or orthopedic care—can lead to expenses running into the thousands. Also, included in the adoption fee are costs to cover transport up to the Pacific Northwest or East Coast. Transport is a significant additional expense to the rescue.
While adoption fees help cover part of these expenses, we want to emphasize that the rescue does not receive government funding and must fundraise to offset the remaining expense balance which ranges $100-1,000++ per animal on these direct costs.
It doesn’t stop there! Our adopters also receive these SPECIAL PERKS:

Did you know that the Greater Houston area faces some of the highest stray and overpopulation rates in the nation? We are a non profit charity. Our goal is simple— to reduce the homeless pet population through community outreach, free spay and neuter services, and by rescuing animals from the streets or overcrowded shelters where euthanasia due to lack of space is often the only option. The dog you've found online is not only lucky to be in our program, but also incredibly fortunate to have caught your eye. Thank you for considering adoption and for joining us in our mission!
Follow our rescue journey and connect with us on our website and social media platforms. Together, we can make a difference, one adoption at a time.
