BIOGRAPHY

Transition Period: Rocky needs a short “get comfy” period—slow days, soft words, and string cheese 🧀🐾 work wonders!

Rocky is a tiny guy with a big personality and an even bigger love for string cheese 🧀—seriously, it’s the fastest way to win him over!

This sweet boy is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and fully house trained and crate trained. When he first arrives in a new home, Rocky needs a few days to unwind and settle in, and slow, gentle introductions to people are a must. Once he feels safe and comfortable, he blossoms into a loyal, affectionate little companion (especially if cheese is involved).

Rocky does well with patient, older children and enjoys the company of small dogs only. Big dogs can be scary for him, and he will need a cat-free home.

✅ Rocky’s Highlights:

  • House & Crate Trained

  • Fully vetted

  • Good with older, respectful kids

  • Good with small dogs

  • Highly motivated by string cheese treats

⚠️ Important to Know:

  • It takes a few days to decompress in a new home

  • Needs slow introductions to people

  • Afraid of big dogs

  • Not good with cats

Rocky is looking for a calm, understanding home that will give him the time and patience he needs to settle in. With love, consistency, and a little string cheese, he’ll reward you with endless devotion—and might just become your favorite taco of all 🌮💙
