My story

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

Meet Anti-Cruelty`s very own Rocky! This fun-loving dreamboat came to us after his previous family was no longer able to care for him. A true testament to the resilience rescue dogs possess, Rocky didn`t let this change in scenery get him down and walked into our intake department with a wagging tail and level of charisma that has left us all smitten!

As our team has gotten to know Rocky we have observed his zest for life which has lead us all to eagerly anticipate what his happily ever after will entail. We envision Rocky`s next chapter to be filled with an array of enriching adventures, positively reinforced training (this sweet boy is quite the brainiac!) and a loving home that will allow his robust personality to flourish.

Rocky is one of our Special Care animals, due to needing some medication for some hyperarousal, and would do best in a home with experienced adopters who can match his energy.

We could go on and on about what makes Rocky so stupendous but wouldn`t you rather see for yourself?! Stop by Anti-Cruelty during our adoption hours to get better acquanted with Rocky today!
