About Rocky
Meet Rocky, a 2-year-old, Kelpie Cross Staffy mix who, despite his young age, has the demeanor of an old soul. He's a large-sized sweetheart who’s as chill and easy-going as they come.
Rocky is awesome when it comes to meeting other dogs. He's happy to engage in play but can easily disengage and coexist peacefully with dogs around him. This makes him a great companion for a multi-dog household or for trips to the dog park.
He’s really affectionate with people and gets along well with everyone he meets. His friendly and loving nature makes him great with kids, adding a lot of joy to family life. Rocky would benefit from daily exercise to keep him entertained and fulfilled, ensuring he remains the happy, healthy dog he’s meant to be.
If you’re looking for a laid-back, affectionate companion, Rocky is your guy. Come meet him today and see why he’s the perfect addition to your family! Thanks for watching!

Adoption details
We are not open to walk ins, appointments by booking only. All households members must be present before we can adopt an animal out.
As our goal is to adopt animals out from the shelter into loving homes as fast as possible, multiple bookings may be made for the same animal.
We are not able to hold any animals for any reason.
As such, there is a possibility that the animal you may have found a forever home before your appointment. If this is the case we will inform you by phone call as soon as possible.
