About Rocky

If you are looking for a loyal, resilient, and utterly charming gentleman, look no further than Rocky.

Rocky’s story started with heartbreak, but he is so ready for his happy ending. He was surrendered to a crowded Houston shelter alongside his best friend—a senior, blind dog. While his friend was saved by a rescue, Rocky was left behind. Through no fault of his own, he found himself on the euthanasia list simply due to a lack of space. We knew this incredible boy deserved a second chance, and now he is ready to find a family that will love him forever.

**His Personality**

Rocky is the definition of a "good boy." He is **extremely kind, well-behaved, and gentle**. He is a social butterfly who gets along wonderfully with all dogs. Whether he’s hanging out with canine buddies or relaxing with his humans, Rocky is just happy to be included.

Oh, and did we mention his signature move? Rocky **loves to give paw**! He will happily sit and offer you his paw to show his affection or to politely ask for some extra head scratches.

**House Manners & Health**

* **Crate Trained:** Rocky is a well-mannered roommate who handles his crate time like a absolute pro.
* **Health Update:** Rocky recently completed his heartworm treatment and is officially healthy, cleared, and ready to embark on his next great adventure!

**The Perfect Home**

Rocky has a lot of love left to give. After being left behind once, he is simply looking for a committed family that promises never to give up on him. In return, you will get a fiercely loyal, affectionate, and well-behaved companion who will brighten every single day.

Out of state? No problem! Rocky is currently located in Houston, but **transport is included in his adoption fee**. He will be cleared and available to travel to his forever home very soon.

Could you be the one to give Rocky the happily-ever-after he’s been waiting for?
