Meet Rocky, a seven year old Lab/American Bulldog mix weighing 70 pounds.
Rocky’s world was turned upside down when his owner was arrested and his family could no longer care for him. Through no fault of his own, this well-mannered senior boy found himself surrendered to Animal Control — confused, heartbroken, and unsure of what was happening.
But even with all these sudden changes, Rocky remains incredibly loving and friendly. He greets new people with a calm curiosity and a gentle heart. There’s a quiet strength about him — a dignity that shines through in the way he carries himself.
Rocky is a mature, respectful companion who enjoys his walks and strolls beautifully on a leash. He knows the command “sit” and clearly had a solid foundation in his previous home. He would thrive in a calm, compassionate environment where he can feel safe and loved again. He has met other dogs while with us and has done extremely well, he was easy going and just happy to be out and about with them. If you’re looking for a loyal, low-key friend who will appreciate every bit of love you give, Rocky is ready to start this next chapter by your side.
This pet is available for adoption on 9.2.25 at the Yakima Humane Society adoption center. If you recognize this animal please contact the adoption center at 509-457-6854.
