Description
Dog Breed: Cairn Terrier (medium coat). Rocky is a friendly little dog who is a little on the shy side. He can easily be picked up and loves attention. He walks fairly well on a leash but gets a little overwhelmed in unfamiliar situations and with loud noises. He is a little stressed out in the shelter environment but should do well in a quiet loving home with a patient adopter. He arrived with Sylvio, probably his sibling, and has been housed with other small male dogs.

Overview:
The Cairn Terrier, originating from the Scottish Highlands, is a small yet sturdy and spirited dog, famously recognized for its role as "Toto" in The Wizard of Oz. Physically, they boast a shaggy, weatherproof double coat, typically in colors like cream, wheaten, red, sandy, brindle, or gray, along with distinctive prick ears and a short, perky tail. Known for their confident, curious, and intelligent temperament, Cairns are lively companions who thrive on interaction and mental stimulation. They are generally good with children and can adapt well to apartment living provided they receive adequate daily exercise and playtime, as their inquisitive nature requires engagement. While typically a robust breed, potential health concerns can include luxating patella, various eye conditions, and certain skin allergies, making regular veterinary check-ups important for their long-term well-being.
