Story
📣 Rocky Needs a Hero! 🐾 Our sweet Rocky has been at the shelter for over 2 months, and his cheerful spirit is starting to fade. 😔 Once a happy, tail-wagging greeter at his kennel door, Rocky now spends his days looking sad and losing weight from shelter stress. This gentle giant is just 3 years old, walks beautifully on a leash, and loves being around people. He gets along great with other dogs and has so much love to give. Rocky deserves to be in a home where he can thrive, whether it’s through fostering or adoption. 💙 Rocky’s Perks: ✔️ Neutered ✔️ Up-to-date on vaccines ✔️ Microchipped ✔️ Adoption fee waived Please don’t let Rocky spend another day feeling alone. Come meet him during our adoption hours: 📅 Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday: 11–5 📅 Saturday: 11–3 Help us give Rocky the second chance he deserves. Whether you can foster or adopt, you’ll be giving him the love he craves!
