Rocky's Story
🦄 UNIDENTIFIED CANINE OBJECT (UCO) SEEKING HOME 🦄<br/>27 years in rescue and well… we’ve got NOTHING.<br/><br/>Friends, adopters, dog detectives—this is a first. <br/>Share your guesses? <br/><br/>Meet Rocky (also kicking around Otter and may someday become Otto, because honestly… he contains multitudes). In nearly three decades of rescue, we have never been this delightfully confused.<br/><br/>✨ Stats & Suspicions:<br/>• ~9 months old<br/>• ~45 lbs<br/>• Species: Scruffy Spark Plug / Fire Plug / Tiny Tank Hybrid<br/>• Build: Short. Long. Thick. All puppy.<br/>• Shoulders and thighs like a Thanksgiving turkey on steroids 🍗💪<br/><br/>Rocky has an old-world, wise-but-mischievous face, complete with a Scrooge-era beard, soulful light brown eyes, and a stunning gray/black scruffy coat. He looks like he knows secrets. He probably does.<br/><br/>He is also dangerously charming.<br/>Twice now, he’s lured Director Beth in for a sweet puppy kiss… only to get so excited he pops his massive puppy head upward and sent stars circling her brain. You’d think once would be enough—but no. He is beguiling. And very much a big puppy.<br/><br/>We think he’ll grow more out than up—less height, more thickness. Picture Otto Schwarzenegger, but make it scruffy and slightly feral.<br/><br/>⚡ Personality:<br/>• 1,000-watt charisma<br/>• Rambunctious, playful, joyful chaos<br/>• Fast. Like, surprisingly fast<br/>• Loves toys<br/>• Plays well with other dogs<br/>• Cats unknown<br/><br/>He’s likely too much dog for small kids (enthusiasm is his love language), and while he’s great with pups in rescue, he’d probably thrive best with a fun, friendly dog in the 20–40 lb range who enjoys playtime as much as he does.<br/><br/>Not built to be a running buddy—but very built to be your laugh-every-day buddy.<br/><br/>🐾 Who He’s For:<br/>Someone who wants a big, hilarious puppy, is committed to training, understands puppy energy doesn’t come with an off switch, and is ready for a dog who will absolutely steal the spotlight everywhere he goes.<br/><br/>🧬 Breed Guess?<br/>We gave up.<br/>We just submitted a DNA test… because science deserves a challenge. Results coming soon 👀<br/><br/>If you want a once-in-27-years kind of dog, this might be your unicorn.<br/>Share Rocky. Share the mystery. Help this unforgettable boy find his people. 🦄💙<br/><br/>Knoxville TN<br/><br/>All things adoption, answers to your questions, application at www.recycledbestfriends.org<br/><br/>Neutered, UTD to age, Hw negative, ready…
