About Rocky
Meet Rocky, a spirited and lively Kelpie mix who is almost 3 years old. With boundless energy and a love for exercise, Rocky embodies the vibrant nature of his breed. He's always up for a good run and thrives in an active environment where he can burn off that kelpie energy. Rocky’s playful and engaging demeanor makes him an ideal companion for families who enjoy spending time outdoors, whether it's hiking through trails, jogging in the park, or playing fetch in the backyard.
Rocky has a special affinity for children, making him a wonderful addition to a family with young ones who are experienced and educated in handling dogs. He’s patient, attentive, and loves to be part of the action, always eager for some playtime and companionship.
While Rocky is a social dog who gets along well with other canine friends, he can be a bit vocal when meeting new dogs, expressing his excitement and curiosity. Once introductions are made, he's a friendly and sociable playmate, always ready to join the pack in some fun.
Rocky is looking for a family or individual that appreciates his energy and enthusiasm, where he can be a cherished friend, enjoying both adventure and affection. With Rocky by your side, life promises to be filled with joy, laughter, and endless play.

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.
