Meet this handsome fella named Rocky! He and his fur sister Zaleah aka ZZ came into the shelter January 4, 2025 when the person who took them in after being abandoned (by their owner when she moved to Colorado) at their home. They survived a few months on their own and when workers showed up at the home they began feeding them. They would be seen walking up to the house as if asking owner to let them back inside. Rocky's security during this time was his stuffed teddy bear and Zaleah. The Good Samaritan kept them and got them current on shots and Rocky neutered but there wasn't luck finding them a home together.rocky is 6 years old and full of pep in his step and full of love in his heart. The Good Samaritan's health declined and could no longer keep them which broke her heart. He loves a stuffed animal and can be a little protective of his toys when other dogs are around. ZZ knows him well and leaves him alone. He's super sweet and loving, affectionate and oh so charming. They are keeping their paws crossed that their new chapter of life will be together with a super awesome person or family. Maybe you're perfect for this bonded pair. If you have another dog and are interested in meeting another potential new furry member please bring him or her to the shelter and meet on neutral ground before adopting. No need to shuffle the animals around any more than necessary. Please know that 1 mosquito bite can create heart worms and they can be fatal if not treated. It is VERY important to keep your pets healthy and protected by keeping them on a once a month heart worm and flea/tick prevention. These animals are counting on you as their owner to provide them with lots a love and the proper health care so PLEASE make sure you are aware and prepared before adopting. Owning a pet is an extra expense and responsibility but is so worth every minute and penny you invest in them. They will add lots of joy and unconditional love if given a fair chance. The shelter is open Mon.-Fri. 10-1, 2-5, Sat. 10-4. Adopt a homeless pet and save a life. If you can not adopt right now come out and volunteer and make a difference in the lives of these animals while they await their FOREVER home. In order to adopt any of our "bully breeds" there is special paper work that will need to be collected and approved prior to the adoption. We love all of our dogs and want to make sure to place our "bully babies" in homes best suited for them.
If you have any questions or would like to adopt Rocky, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
