Meet Rocky, a sweet 11-year-old senior pup looking for his new home. Rocky is 15 pounds of affection and will gladly give your hand (or your nose!) kisses when you greet him. He has a very chill personality and spends the majority of his day peacefully napping, but he also enjoys exploring the rescue. When he finds a blanket, he'll burrow tightly and wrap himself up like a little burrito. It's adorable (and impressive)!
Rocky is mostly blind and does a pretty good job navigating, but will need some time to familiarize himself with the layout of his future home. He needs daily eye drops and isn't too fussy about us administering them. He's been living with 20 other dogs at our rescue and does great with everyone.
Rocky has a large lipoma on his right side and a grade 2 heart murmur. He also has a broken tooth and will need a dental, which VPR will cover at our vet. Rocky is neutered, up-to-date on vaccines, and recently had full blood work.

Additional adoption info
We only arrange meet and greets with pre-approved applicants.
The vast majority of the dogs we take in and post on our social media will be available for adoption at some point, but not everyone is ready to be adopted right away. We first need to get all of our dogs seen by our vet, treat any health issues, and/or schedule any procedures they may need. Once the dog does not need anything else from us medically, we will post them for adoption!

Vintage Pet Rescue is a Rhode Island based 501c3 non-profit. We protect and advocate for homeless senior dogs in need by providing cage-free sanctuary living for all of our rescue's residents, helping unwanted seniors find love in their final years through our adoption program, and increasing public awareness and interest in saving senior pets.
VPR was founded by Kristen and Marc Peralta (who met at an animal shelter in 2013). Their mutual love for senior dogs is the driving force behind our organization where we are committed to rescuing vintage (senior) dogs from shelters and assisting owners who can no longer care for their senior pets.
Kristen, Marc, and their team of volunteers make sure these animals are provided with love, attention, and medical care for the last months or years of their lives. To date, VPR has saved the lives of over 1,000 dogs.
