Well where do we begin with Rocky. He is a very special boy for sure. He is a 6 year old chi mix that came to us from Mexico.  Unfortunately he and his owner were homeless and sadly she passed away from addiction. He wasn’t feeling very good when he came into rescue and was drinking and peeing lots.  He has since gone through a lot of testing and has now been medically cleared and can be adopted, but will require life-long monitoring of his symptoms and lab work.   Now that he's feeling better, Rocky is a very spunky little man and will always be the man of the house. He currently lives with other dogs and does okay with them but definitely has to be alfa and does not like to share his toys.   As a result, he would probably do best being the only dog or being with another dog who is very submissive and will allow him to be the boss. He does okay with cats but will chase them and occasionally bark at them. Rocky knows he has to go potty outside but due to his medical issues, he struggles to hold his bladder.  When he is not being watched he does wear a wrap in the home to prevent any accidents. Rocky hangs out in my bedroom when I am away from the home and he does just fine, always greeting me with a happy dance when I finally come home. Rocky only barks when he gets really excited and it’s more like he is talking to you then barking. He will occasionally bark at people outside but not all the time. Rocky loves to hang outside when it’s warm and sunny out, his favorite thing ever is to sit in the sun and sun bathe. He absolutely loves cuddling and sleeps under the covers cuddled up next to me every night. Rocky really enjoys toys and loves to tear them apart and get the squeaker out of every toy. He also loves people and will be besties with anyone who comes into the home. Rocky is an absolute gem in the car and will either sit in your lap or on the passenger seat whatever you prefer. Rocky is definitely the most special little man ever and deserves the best home where he can live the rest of his life being spoiled to pieces.
