Rocky’s life did a complete 180 when we learned about him and scooped him up from the shelter. And wow, did we hit the jackpot with this guy! Rocky is an 8-year-old Papillon mix who might technically be a “senior,” but he’s here to prove that age is just a number when you’re the life of the party.
Rocky LOVES being in the middle of everything—like, if you’re breathing, he wants to supervise. Whether it’s backyard adventures or casually stealing the spotlight, this guy is always ready to entertain.
Rocky is such a chill little dude, trotting around to anyone and everyone (especially the ladies) for attention. And every now and then, he gets the zoomies and tears around like he just remembered he has legs.
As if that weren't enough, Rocky’s got a few quirks that make him even more lovable:
- He’s a little, uh, fluffy. Okay, he’s overweight, but we’re working on that glow-up. He’s not a big eater, so we’re just as confused as he is.
- He has some mystery lumps that we’re hoping are just weird party favors and not something serious. We're working on getting those off him and biopsied!
- He’s cool with other dogs but prefers his own VIP section (because every party king needs a little me-time.)
If you need a mildly judgmental yet ridiculously lovable, funny pup in your life, you'll hit the jackpot with Rocky. Let’s make sure this good boy gets his shot at a lifetime of belly rubs and backyard parties. Because Rocky isn’t just a dog… ~ he’s a vibe. ~
Fostered in Ellicott City, MD
