Rocky

Meet Rocky! Don’t let his 18-pound size fool you — this ~8-year-old terrier mix has a heart as big as they come. He has an unfortunate past and was rescued from a home with a leg that had been broken for over a year. Rocky recently had that front leg amputated, but he’s adjusting beautifully and still enjoys being his happy, fun-loving self.<br/><br/>Rocky will need a patient and understanding home that can give him time to decompress and build trust. He can be fearful in new situations especially if he feels pushed or overwhelmed, so a home that respects his boundaries and children 12+ is important.<br/><br/>Once he feels safe, Rocky’s sweet personality really shines. He loves being near his people, soaking up affection, and celebrating life’s little joys. He’s a resilient boy with lots of love to give — he just needs someone willing to meet him where he’s at.<br/><br/>Rocky loves dogs of all sizes. He has not been tested with cats but with his personality, we feel he would do okay with proper introduction to a dog friendly one. <br/><br/>Rocky loves the outdoors and would love a home with a fenced in yard. He is potty trained. He does not love the confinement of a crate but does well in a small penned area with no roof, or loose in the house. <br/><br/>Rocky would be a wonderful companion for someone who understands that healing takes time and compassion. If you’re looking for a small dog with a big story and even bigger heart, Rocky may be the buddy for you!<br/><br/>Rocky’s adoption fee is $400. He is neutered, up-to-date on vaccines, microchipped, and on monthly heartworm and flea/tick preventative. All Midwest dogs are required to be on year round heartworm prevention. Applications can be completed at www.MidwestSmallBreedRescue.org.
