My story

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

Meet Rocky — A Gentle Giant with a Heart of Gold

Rocky’s journey has been full of ups and downs, but his spirit remains unshaken. He came to Clifford’s Army Rescue in October 2022, just four months old, with a serious knee and hip injury. Thanks to expert care and two major surgeries—knee repair and FHO—Rocky regained use of his leg and blossomed into a happy, healthy pup.

In April 2023, Rocky was adopted into what we all hoped would be his forever home. Sadly, after an incident with the family’s other dog, Rocky was injured again and returned to us—not because of anything he did wrong, but out of concern for his safety.

Now Rocky is back, and he’s ready to love again.

About Rocky:

Approximately 70 lbs of pure affection

?Thinks he’s a lap dog (and we won’t argue!)

Gets along well with other dogs

Walks beautifully on a leash

Housetrained and ready to move in

Absolutely gorgeous—inside and out

Rocky is a love bug who adores people and thrives on companionship. He’s looking for a family who will cherish him and give him the safe, loving home he deserves.

Could Rocky be your perfect match? Fill out our online adoption application and let this sweet boy start his next chapter.
Absolutely! Here's a clear, condensed, and compassionate version of your **Adoption Recommendations & Procedures** for easier reading and sharing:

*Each application is evaluated individually to ensure the best fit.*

Additional adoption info

All dogs are current on vaccines, heart worm negative and on preventive, spayed/neutered, and microchipped. We do require an adoption application, references, veterinarian references, and a home check. Upon completing review of application and homecheck, a meet and greet will be scheduled to determine if the dog you have applied for is a good fit with you. At the time of adoption, a contract is required for you to sign. Adoption fee is $250 unless otherwise stated.
