Rocky

Meet Rocky, a lively and affectionate one-and-a-half-year-old Jack Russell Terrier/Miniature Poodle mix from Colmar, PA, whose heart is as full of love as his tail is full of wag! With his sleek white-and-black coat and boundless energy, Rocky is a little firecracker of joy who’s always ready to play, snuggle, and smother you in endless kisses.

Rocky is the ultimate fetch champion—give him a ball, and he’ll be your best friend for life! He thrives on activity, from his three daily walks to playful zoomies around the house. But when it’s time to settle down, he’s just as happy curling up next to you, soaking up all the cuddles you’ll give. He’s incredibly affectionate, the kind of pup who melts into your arms and would gladly spend hours being held, hugged, and loved. Be prepared for a flurry of kisses—Rocky believes there’s no such thing as too many!

This little guy is crate-trained and knows the basics, responding to his name and sitting on command. He’s friendly with strangers, making him a great social companion, and he does well with cats, though he can be a little shy around them. When it comes to other dogs, he’s a bit selective—he enjoys the company of some but may need slow introductions with others. His ideal home would be one where he gets plenty of attention, affection, and playtime.

Rocky is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and a low-maintenance pup when it comes to grooming—just a monthly bath keeps him fresh and clean! He’s used to a routine of morning and evening meals, plenty of naps, and sleeping cozily on the bed with his favorite human. If you’re looking for a devoted, affectionate, and playful companion, Rocky is ready to fill your home with love and laughter!

And if you’re open to double the love, you might want to meet his brother, Bandit! These two have been inseparable since birth, and their bond is truly special. Could Rocky (and maybe Bandit, too?) be the perfect addition to your family? Reach out today to learn more about this sweet and loving pup!
