My story

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


Meet Rocky!
Rocky is a handsome Rottie–Bully mix who is 4 years old (turning 5 in June). I’ve had him since he was a puppy, and he has grown into an extremely smart, loyal, and well-trained dog. Rocky thrives with a confident owner who is comfortable with larger dogs and able to provide clear leadership.

He loves playing fetch and is very food-motivated, which makes training and bonding fun and rewarding. Rocky gets along well with my other dog and can do well with some dogs, though he prefers slow introductions and may not be compatible with every dog.

Unfortunately, Rocky had a negative experience where a child hurt him, and since then he does not do well around children. For this reason, he would do best in an adult-only home.

Rocky will thrive in a home where he receives daily walks, regular playtime, and mental engagement. He’s a wonderful companion for someone who enjoys being active and spending quality time with their dog.
