Rocky is a great dog who is super friendly and looking for a new home and his forever family! Rocky is a Rottie & Hound mix who is 5 years old and weighs just 40-45 pounds so he's a great medium sized pup. He's owned by a family in Massapequa, Long Island who just had their 2nd baby and don't have the room or the time to give Rocky what he deserves. They've asked Long Road Home to help find him a great family who will love him and give him the life he deserves. He hasn't lived with another dog but he's very social and friendly with other dogs when he meets them on walks so we think he'd do well as a solo dog or with a doggie sibling. He's a very sweet and social guy who loves everyone he meets. He's smart too & knows all his basic commands. He's loves to play so we think he'd thrive with with a fully fenced in yard. He's healthy and up to date on all his vaccinations. He's also fully house-trained and crate trained so he'll be a breeze to live with. Reach out to Long Road Home Rescue (lrhrescue@gmail.com) to get more info on Rocky and make plans to go meet him.
