Story
Meet Rocky — A Gentle Giant with a Heart of Gold Rocky’s journey has been full of ups and downs, but his spirit remains unshaken. He came to Clifford’s Army Rescue in October 2022, just four months old, with a serious knee and hip injury. Thanks to expert care and two major surgeries—knee repair and FHO—Rocky regained use of his leg and blossomed into a happy, healthy pup. In April 2023, Rocky was adopted into what we all hoped would be his forever home. Sadly, after an incident with the family’s other dog, Rocky was injured again and returned to us—not because of anything he did wrong, but out of concern for his safety. Now Rocky is back, and he’s ready to love again. About Rocky: Approximately 70 lbs of pure affection ?Thinks he’s a lap dog (and we won’t argue!) Gets along well with other dogs Walks beautifully on a leash Housetrained and ready to move in Absolutely gorgeous—inside and out Rocky is a love bug who adores people and thrives on companionship.

Story
Nash is a sweet and loving pup who just needs a little time to come out of his shell. He can be shy at first and will need a few visits to feel comfortable before heading home with his new family. Once he warms up, his affectionate and gentle personality really shines. Nash is very treat motivated and super smart—he already knows “sit” and “speak”! He’s also a vocal guy who isn’t afraid to share his thoughts. He loves going for walks, playing with toys, and getting cozy with his blankets. Nash will need a home that can keep an eye on him, as he’s a bit of an escape artist. If you’re patient and looking for a smart, loving companion, Nash could be the perfect fit!Come meet Nash and give him the chance to blossom!

Story
Hello from Juno’s family. First and foremost we are only rehoming Juno due to having our second child. Having 2 under 2 doesn’t afford Juno the same attention. We received our sweet girl in May 2020 from a professional breeder in NC. She was raised in the city so she grew up seeing hundreds of people and cars daily which laid a great foundation of being around people. Juno has the title of being the sweetest Rottweiler in the world by all that meet her. She has had no incidents with dogs or other people and consistently groomed at Petco. We can provide Petco groomers info upon request which can also verify temperament from a 3rd party. She is up-to-date on her shots and recently received a health exam (Feb. 2026) and has no medical issues. She loves to play and cuddle and is well tempered. She is a little smaller for a Rottweiler but still has a protective mindset. If a home is selected we will include her bed, dog feeder and bowl and a bag of dog food. We want her to have great home!
