My story

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

**Meet Rocky — Your Bilingual Best Friend**

Rocky is a happy, people-loving pup with a heart as big as his smile.

Rocky is *bilingual* and responds best to **Spanish cues**, already knowing **sit**, **wait (for food)**, and **“do it.”** He walks nicely on leash and is great at letting you know when he needs to go outside—he’ll trot over and “knock” on the door by jumping up.

Car rides are one of his favorite things! Rocky happily curls up in the front seat, settles in, and takes a peaceful nap. Bath time is less exciting for him—he may try to hide when the shower turns on—but grooming is a breeze. He does well with nail trims, enjoys being brushed, and even likes being picked up and held.

Rocky loves everyone he meets—strangers, kids, and anyone willing to play. He’s gentle and affectionate with children, loves stuffed squeaky toys, and is always ready to make new friends.

If you’re looking for , affectionate, Spanish-speaking companion who thrives on human connection, Rocky is ready to charm his way straight into your heart.
