Rocky (F26-24)'s Story

Meet Rocky - A Gentle Soul in Search of a Soft Place to Land<br/><br/>Rocky is undergoing heartworm treatment. He will need to return to our facility for the remainder of his treatment, as well as a dental procedure. He is on restricted exercise, and all treatment instructions must be carefully followed to ensure a full recovery.<br/><br/>Rocky's adoption fee has been covered by a donor.<br/><br/>At 9 years old and 106 pounds, Rocky is the very definition of calm and kind. This handsome Rottweiler has a quiet spirit and a heart full of love just waiting to be shared with someone special. He enjoys peaceful time outdoors, soaking up the sun and taking in the world around him with thoughtful eyes.<br/><br/>Rocky walks beautifully on a leash and truly loves spending time with people. He is happiest simply being near his humans, resting, relaxing, and enjoying a calm, steady environment where he can feel safe and loved.<br/><br/>He is also very food motivated, which makes him easy to engage with and a joy to interact with. Treats go a long way with Rocky and help him build connection and trust.<br/><br/>Rocky gets along well with other dogs his size, but prefers to soak in all of the love and attention to himself. He would do best in a home where he can be the main focus of affection and companionship.<br/><br/>He's the kind of companion who asks for very little-just a comfy spot to rest, a peaceful home, and someone to remind him that he's finally home. A meet-and-greet at the shelter is required to ensure it is a good fit for all involved.<br/>------<br/>Before being rescued, many of our dogs had limited socialization, so they may need some time to adjust to life as a family pet. Older kids are often a great fit for our dogs, and homes with younger children will be considered based on each dog's individual needs. Skills like house training and leash walking may take a little extra patience and practice. However, with understanding and a gentle hand, most of these dogs adapt quite quickly. Being a part of their rehabilitation is a truly rewarding experience. To learn more about mill dogs and start the adoption process, visit our website!

Once you are approved to adopt, you will be able to set up the meet and greet and you will also bring your dog or dogs with you. If you are looking to adopt from outside of Colorado, you do need to follow the above process, and if approved to adopt, you will need to travel to Colorado to meet and pick up your next family member. We do not allow shipping or transportation.
