ROCKY ROAD - CHIHUAHUA / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Chihuahua / Mixed. Meet Rocky Road! If you're looking for a tiny shadow who wants to be by your side every moment of the day, Rocky Road is ready to steal your heart! This adorable 5-pound pup is happiest when he's snuggled up in someone's arms, wrapped in a cozy blanket, or following his favorite people from room to room. Rocky has a sweet, laid-back personality with little bursts of playful energy. He loves hopping through tall grass, playing with his feline friends, and enjoys short walks before happily settling back in for another cuddle session. If you let him, he'd spend the entire day wrapped in blankets snoozing beside you! He's doing well with his house training and continues to improve every day. Rocky is also learning basic commands and enjoys chewing on toys when he's awake. While he can be left home alone for periods of time, his dream home is one where he can spend lots of time with his people—or even tag along on adventures whenever possible. Rocky gets along wonderfully with other pets. He's currently living with a large English Bulldog, and while they aren't wrestling buddies, they peacefully coexist. He also adores cats and has been known to play and cuddle with his feline companion. Children are another one of Rocky's favorite things! He's lived successfully with kids ranging from toddlers to teenagers and has shown no signs of aggression toward them. Like many small dogs, he can get excited and may jump up to say hello, but it's all in good fun. Like many rescue dogs, Rocky is still building confidence. New people can make him a little nervous at first, and he may shiver until he realizes he's safe. Once he settles in, his affectionate personality shines. If you've been searching for a loving little sidekick who will happily follow you wherever life takes you, Rocky Road might just be the perfect addition to your family. This dog is up to date on vaccinations and is spayed or neutered. (Please note: Puppies under 3 months old may not be sterilized prior to adoption.

PLEASE READ: • If a dog or puppy is listed, they are currently available for adoption. However, they may already be pending an adoption, and their profile may not yet reflect this. • All information is accurate to the best of our knowledge as of the posting date. • Unless explicitly stated, Sandy Paws Rescue does not guarantee the breed of any dog. Breeds listed are educated guesses made by shelter staff, volunteers, or veterinarians. Many of our dogs are mixed breeds, often with pit bull-type genetics, resulting in a wide variety of physical traits and temperaments. Our dogs come from various situations, such as kill shelters, owner surrenders, or as strays. It is likely both parents were mixed breeds as well. Sandy Paws Rescue does not have a public shelter in Massachusetts. Our dogs reside in private foster homes or boarding kennels in the South until adopted. Many dogs are spoken for prior to transport or release from state-mandated isolation. For information on adoption fees, procedures, or FAQs, visit our website: .sandypawsrescue.
