My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

** Rocky Road is available for foster or adoption! We'd love to get him out of the busy shelter and into a home environment. Email applications@chicagocaninerescue.org to set up a meet + greet! **

Just like the classic ice cream flavor, Rocky Road is sweet as can be! He is a young beefcake who wants nothing more than to wiggle up to you and snuggle! He just LOVES people. His favorite games to play are fetch and tug. Seriously, he could play all day. He does vocalize when excited about playing!

Rocky Road is a solo act - he prefers to be the only pet in the household. But don't worry, he's all the dog you'll ever need! He loves nothing more than a good game of tug-of-war or chasing his favorite toys around the yard. After a fun-filled day, Rocky Road enjoys nothing more than snoozing on the couch, snuggled up next to his favorite human.

Again, Rocky just isn't a dog park kinda guy! He'd prefer to take a leashed walk with his human, or to have his own yard! He's a big guy, so he does need a handler who is comfortable with a boisterous big dog. Rocky does require some management and advocacy. That just means he may need some guidance and time to decompress through transitions!

Rocky Road came to us from Chicago Animal Care and Control back in 2022. At that time, he appeared to have a bad case of fleas which was causing some spotty hair loss! Since starting monthly preventatives-- it has grown back nicely and he is thriving!

With his boundless energy and love for long walks, Rocky Road will keep you entertained for hours. If you're looking for a loyal companion who's eager to learn and ready to love, then Rocky Road is your guy! Contact us today to make him a part of your family!

** Submit your foster or adoption application at ChicagoCanineRescue.org! **
Rocky's annual care has been generously donated by his guardian Angel - David S.

More about this shelter

CCRF was founded in 2001 to help find permanent, loving homes for homeless dogs in our city. In just over seven years, CCRF has saved the lives of over 2,000 dogs, cats, kittens and puppies.

CCRF now assists the animals that are the MOST vulnerable in Midwest - the dogs and cats that are slated for euthanasia because they are too old, too young, injured, have disabilities, or have simply been overlooked for too long by potential adopters at other shelters.
