About Rocky BalboaMeet & Greet
Rocky Balboa
Good with dogs: Yes, bring yours in for a meet & greet
Good with cats: No
Good with kids: Yes
Rocky Balboa is a joyful and friendly boy who's ready to make the most of every day! He has so much love and enthusiasm to share with his future family.
Rocky Balboa is incredibly sweet and affectionate. He absolutely melts when you offer him pets, happily squeezing in close for some love. He also loves giving kisses! Rocky Balboa is an expressive guy who isn't afraid to let you know what he's thinking, so his future family should be prepared for a dog who likes to use his voice.
He's an active boy with plenty of energy to burn. He loves bouncing and zooming around the play yards, and he'd thrive with a family that can keep his body and mind busy. He already knows "sit," and he'd have fun learning more tricks. Puzzle feeders, plenty of playtime, and frequent walks would all be great ways to keep him happy and engaged.
Rocky Balboa is an outgoing guy who can get excited when meeting new people, so a patient family willing to help him practice his manners would be a great match. Once he gets some of that excitement out, he's more than happy to settle in for affection and companionship. He previously lived with dogs and kids and did great with them all. As a bonus, he's housebroken!
If you're looking for a fun-loving, affectionate, energetic companion who will keep you smiling, stop by and ask to meet Rocky Balboa!

Not Quite Ready To Adopt?
You can make an immeasurable impact by opening your home and your heart to an animal in need. Fostering is a great opportunity to introduce a pet into your home without making a lifelong commitment. Many of our foster humans end up adopting their fostered animals, but many also choose to just provide the temporary shelter and love our animals need to get through a trying time.
