My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Added to At Risk due to shelter stress. Rocky is a senior dog at almost 11 years old and is losing his eyesight, making the shelter very scary and stressful. He urgently needs to leave the shelter.andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Rocky was surrendered at 10 years old when his owner lost his home. He has lived with other dogs his entire life and does well with other dogs at the shelter as well. He is potty trained and walks perfectly on leash. He can be afraid of vacuums, cars, thunderstorms, and can be shy at first. If you give him a treat, he warms up quickly. He is a giant couch potato and just wants all the cuddles. He is gentle taking treats, and his friends think he would make a great first dog.

Their adoption process

1.
Visit the Facility and Find a Pet

With hundreds of pets at the shelter and in foster, we recommend checking our website before visiting in person.

2.
Meet the Pet

We recommend bringing the whole family, including resident dogs, to meet the pet you're interested in adopting to ensure it's a good match.

3.
Sign Adoption Contract

Our adoption team will review the adoption contract with you. Adoption fees are $30 for dogs and $5 for cats unless during a special promo.

Additional adoption info

All adoptions are on a first-come, first-served basis and must be made in person. As a high-intake shelter, most of the pets that come to us are strays, meaning we have limited background history on the pet, such as health, behavioral or living history. All adoptions include the animal's spay/neuter procedure, microchip, age-appropriate vaccinations and city license. All adoptions include a 7 day free trial with our training partner, GoodPup to help ease the transition!
