My story

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

Meet Rocky: Your Affectionate Playmate!

Say hello to Rocky, an affectionate boy who's ready to be your new best friend! With a heart full of love, Rocky thrives on belly rubs from everyone he meets. His sweet nature and playful spirit make him a joy to be around!

Rocky has shown how well he can behave in public settings, impressing everyone during a recent outing at a restaurant where he remained calm and collected, avoiding the temptation to jump on the table or beg for food. He walks beautifully on a leash, often looking back to check in with his human-demonstrating his loving bond and eagerness to please.

This charming pup absolutely adores toys! He gets a bit excited when playtime rolls around and might get a little mouthy, but don't worry-he's easily redirected and knows how to settle down. Whether it's a squeaky toy or a tug rope, Rocky is always up for some fun!

Rocky has met a kid and did very well, rolling over and giving his belly for rubs.

If you're looking for a cuddly, playful companion who will bring joy to your life and be a well-mannered addition to your outings, Rocky is the perfect match.

Rocky has shown that he is selective about the dogs he likes to be around. He can be safely walked around a neighborhood. As always, we strongly recommend bringing any resident dogs to the shelter for a meet and greet with potential new family members to be sure it's a good match. If bringing a dog for a meet and greet, please bring proof of up to date rabies, bordetella, and DHPP vaccines.

To meet Rocky, come to Guilford County Animal Services between 12 and 4 any day except Tuesday.
