Rocky's Story

The biographical information provided is correct to the best of our knowledge while the animal is in our care or includes what may have been provided by a previous owner. We strive to be honest and accurate, but animals can change their personalities and behavior when they settle into a new home. IDR+ makes no guarantees based on the information we observe and provide.<br/><br/>Meet Rocky!<br/><br/>Dont let his tiny size fool you—3-year-old Rocky has a big personality packed into his adorable 5-pound frame! This handsome little Chihuahua is equal parts playful sidekick and professional cuddle buddy, making him the perfect companion for someone looking for a best friend.<br/><br/>Rocky is incredibly affectionate and loves being wherever his people are. Whether youre working from home, watching TV, or getting ready for bed, hell happily be your little shadow. At night, his favorite place is snuggled under the blankets, soaking up all the warmth and love.<br/><br/>When its playtime, Rocky is all in! He absolutely loves playing with other dogs and can often be found running around the yard, bouncing with excitement, and doing the cutest little play bows to invite his friends to chase him. He gets along well small dogs and would enjoy having a playful canine companion, though hed also be happy as the center of your world. He also ignores the cats in his foster home.<br/><br/>Rocky is about 95% house-trained, crate trained (though he doesnt need to be crated), and rides wonderfully in the car, making him an easy little companion to take along on adventures.<br/><br/>Because Rocky loves his people so much, he does experience some separation anxiety when left alone for long periods. He would thrive in a home with someone who works remotely, is retired, or simply spends a lot of time at home. He also isnt a good match for young children and would do best in an adult home or one with older, respectful kids who understand how to interact with a tiny dog.<br/><br/>If youve been searching for a little dog with a joyful spirit, a playful heart, and endless affection to give, Rocky is ready to fill your home with love, laughter, and lots of blanket snuggles.
