About Rocky (with Roxy)
Meet Rocky, a gentle and sensitive soul with a heart full of love and a few hilarious quirks! Since arriving in foster care in early October, Rocky has settled in beautifully with his foster family and their two other dogs. He’s been especially great with the kids and is showing his sweet, affectionate nature more each day.
Rocky is a delightful boy—he adores affection and will happily soak up all the pats and cuddles you have to offer. He’s a bit nervous at times and doesn’t love stairs (they’re his nemesis!), but he’s learning to navigate the world at his own pace. 🧘♂️🐾
He’s also got a cheeky side—he’s been known to steal your bed and mark his territory outside, including on freshly washed clothes and car tyres! But with a bit of patience and routine, he’ll settle into his new home beautifully.
What Makes Rocky Special:
💞 Affectionate and loving
🧍♂️ Sensitive and a little shy
🛏️ Bed thief (you’ve been warned!)
🚽 Toilet trained indoors, but marks outdoors
🐶 Great with kids and other dogs
🚫 Not a fan of stairs
Rocky's Ideal Home:
🏡 A calm, loving home with a gentle routine
🧍♀️ Someone patient and understanding of his sensitive nature
🐕 A home with or without other dogs
👧 Great for families with respectful children
💫 Rocky & Roxy are a bonded pair and must be adopted together. They balance each other beautifully—Rocky brings the softness, Roxy brings the confidence, and together they make the perfect team. If you’re looking for a calm, affectionate, and low-maintenance duo to complete your family, these two are ready to steal your heart (and maybe your bed!). 🛏️🐾💕

Adoption details
Please do not apply to adopt via our animals' PetRescue profile.

Once in the online profile, scroll down and click the link to complete an adoption application. Once received, a member of our team will be in touch to discuss your application and suitability for your preferred animal.
If we deem the animal to be suitable for your home and lifestyle, an in-person meet and greet may be organised.
