Rocky - Chihuahua and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in South Riding, Virginia

IF YOU ARE VIEWING THIS LISTING ON PETFINDER OR ADOPT-A-PET, please visit www.caninesandkittiesrescue.org to access adoption requirements, more information and pictures.

Meet Rocky! Rocky is about 13 years old and weighs about 15 lbs. Our best guess on breed is Chihuahua/JRT Mix (Just a Guess).

Rocky came to us when his family could no longer care for him. Rocky is being treated for demodex manage (not contagious to humans or other animals). Rocky is receiving medicated baths weekly and some antibiotics. Once we have healed Rocky's skin, we will assess his grade 3 heart murmur and then do a dental to clean up his teeth.

Rocky does not let any of this get in his way of being a happy boy full of life. Rocky has EXCELLENT house manners. He is great with his house training as long as he goes outside every few hours during the day. He sleeps great through the night. Rocky loves to go on walks and is great on leash. Rocky doesn't chew anything he shouldn't and loves his doggie toys and bones. Rocky is good with other dogs, but no idea on cats. Rocky is great with the 14 year old girl in his foster home. Given his age we feel Rocky would do best in a calm home. If there are children in his forever home they should be 12 years and up.

This dog is spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative and microchipped.

The adoption fee is $300.00

The Chihuahua is a small breed famous for its confidence, loyalty, and big personality, despite its tiny size. Originating from Mexico, these dogs are known for their large, expressive eyes and alert, curious nature. Chihuahuas make excellent companions, forming strong bonds with their owners and displaying a protective nature. They come in a variety of coat colors and patterns, with both long and short coats, making them a diverse and adorable addition to any family.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
