Rocky has had a rocky life, but is charming and wants a loving home

Story, photo by Pam D’Addio

Hi, I’m Rocky, a golden retriever / mastiff mix, a 5-year-old neutered male weighing about 60 pounds.

If you look at me closely you’ll see that I’ve acquired some battle scars in my life.  Let’s not talk about that, though….I’m here to look forward and find my future.

Rocky, showing some love

I know I’m a big guy but I can fit nicely into your home.  With a sweet disposition very exemplary of a mastiff, I’ll charm you and win your heart.  I’m housebroken, neutered, and even know how to sit when you ask…while holding a treat.  Then I’ll take the treat ever-so-gently.

Yep, that’s me, a real gentleman.  I seem to get along with some dogs but I probably need a home without small children or cats.  I’ve been down a long and bumpy road to arrive here, but I know the best is yet to be.  Help me find the love I deserve….with you!

I’m available for adoption at Tri-County Humane Society, a no-kill animal shelter located at 21287 Boca Rio Road in Boca Raton. The shelter is open for adoptions Tuesday through Sunday, 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.  Adoption fees for companion animals are $110 and up. Animals are heartworm-tested and up-to-date on vaccinations.  Included in the adoption fee is one year of free office visits to Regency Veterinary Clinic.
