Meet Rocky – A Brave Little Soul Looking for His Miracle Home
Rocky is a little Min Pin with a big spirit and an even bigger heart. He’s around 5 years old, and though life hasn’t always been easy, he’s faced every challenge with courage and love.
When his beloved owner went into the hospital, Rocky’s world was turned upside down. His family did everything they could to care for him and manage his diabetes, but it became too difficult. That’s when we stepped in — and promised Rocky he’d never have to struggle alone again.
With medication and lots of love, his diabetes is now under control (but he will need an adopter committed to keeping him on his medication). Thanks to his amazing foster, Rocky has rediscovered joy — chasing toys, snuggling under the blankets, and greeting visitors with his big, bold personality.
He’s playful, smart, and full of life — but also tender and deeply connected to his people. At bedtime, he curls up close, often nudging under the covers just to be near you.
Rocky isn’t perfect — he’s still learning his potty routine, can be protective of his food, and doesn’t love his insulin needles. But he’s trying so hard, and every day he trusts a little more. He just needs someone patient, kind, and willing to give him the stability he’s never truly had.
A few notes about Rocky:
Dog friendly (he enjoys canine friends!)
Cats not recommended
Crate trained: not yet, but learning
Potty training: in progress (uses pads too!)
Loves toys, treats, and snuggling at bedtime
Travels well
Needs an experienced, patient, and loving home
Rocky’s dream home:
Someone home most of the day, with a gentle heart and steady hands — someone who sees past his condition and just loves him for the sweet, goofy little dog he is.
A fenced yard would be lovely, and another calm dog friend would be a bonus.
Rocky has already overcome so much. He just needs one more miracle — a forever home that will love him for the rest of his days.
Fostered in Farmingdale, NJ

Sometimes the most special dogs are the ones who’ve fought the hardest — and Rocky is ready to show his forever family just how big his little heart truly is.
