Rocky is just under two, and acts just how you’d imagine a two year old lab would; full of energy, settles for some nice belly rubs, and then he’s out!

Rocky has been patiently waiting for his forever home since August, and is currently our longest resident. He is ready to bring endless joy and excitement into your life. With his playful spirit and friendly nature, Rocky is sure to become your loyal companion and constant source of happiness.

Not only does Rocky gets along famously with people and dogs who enjoy rowdy play time.
He’s also a smart and obedient pup! He sits eagerly for treats, showcasing his ability to learn and please.

Rocky used to walk well on a leash, but after being in the shelter for half his life… he now takes a bit to settle. (Please don’t judge him on his initial behavior, give him some time, we promise you’ll be glad you did). Whether you're exploring the neighborhood or hitting the trails, Rocky is always up for the challenge and eager to accompany you every step of the way. And then enjoy a nice relaxing nap!

Rocky has been on multiple doggie day outs, including a local school (3x now!). Check out the video of his adventures: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTL5oXcQE/
