Baby Rocky - Beagle and Husky Dog for Adoption in Westwood, New Jersey

Meet Baby Rocky

Baby Rocky is an adorable 10 month old male Beagle and Shepherd mix who is ready to find a loving family of his very own.

Weighing about 25 pounds, Rocky is friendly, sweet, affectionate, and gets along wonderfully with other dogs.

As a Beagle and Shepherd mix, Rocky has a combination of traits from two popular breeds. Beagles are known for being cheerful, affectionate, and social dogs who love being part of the family. Shepherds are often intelligent, loyal, eager to learn, and devoted to their people. Rocky's puppyish personality brings plenty of playful energy, curiosity, and enthusiasm to the mix.

At 10 months old, Rocky is still very much a youngster. He is at a wonderful age to continue learning and growing with his new family. Like any young dog, he will benefit from patience, consistency, positive reinforcement, exercise, playtime, and plenty of love. With his friendly nature and social personality, Rocky has all the makings of a fantastic family companion.

Baby Rocky is coming to New Jersey on September 20 and will be available for adoption then.

If you have been waiting for a sweet, handsome, playful young dog to add to your family, Baby Rocky may be the one you have been looking for. He is ready for his next chapter and, most importantly, a forever home where he can be loved for life.
