Meet Rocky and Vinny | Rehome With Love Pet Adoption

Meet Rocky and Vinny, an inseparable pair of eleven-year-old Bichon Frise and Italian Bolognese twins from Las Vegas, NV, whose cream-colored coats and gentle, soulful eyes are just the beginning of their charm. These sweet boys have spent a lifetime together, and they’re looking for a new loving home where they can stay side by side. Their bond is unbreakable, and they’ll need to be adopted as a pair.

At 17 pounds each, Rocky and Vinny are small in size but big in heart. Vinny is the social butterfly of the duo—energetic, outgoing, and always ready to make new friends with a wag and a smile. Rocky, on the other hand, is a bit more reserved at first. He takes a few moments to settle in, but once he’s comfortable, his affectionate side blossoms with plenty of kisses to give. Their dynamic is the perfect balance—Vinny’s enthusiasm warms up the room while Rocky’s gentle nature brings a soothing presence.

These boys are all about spending time with their person. Whether snacking on treats, lounging by your side, or just being in the same room, they are constant companions who will fill your days with love and loyalty. They’re playful in spirit but easygoing at heart, making them great companions for someone who has the time to share with them. They’re used to being around school-aged kids and small dogs but would do best in a cat-free home.

When it comes to training, they know a few handy commands like “down,” “nice,” “enough,” and “stop.” They’re neutered, house-trained, and polite, but since they’ve spent much of their lives indoors, they’re still working on leash manners. A bit of patience and positive reinforcement will go a long way in helping them feel confident during walks.

They do well when left alone for short periods, though you might hear a little whine before they settle down together. Grooming every four weeks keeps their soft coats looking their best, and Rocky benefits from Cosequin to help with his joints.

Rocky and Vinny are looking for a calm, caring environment with a fenced yard or patio where they can safely explore. Since they’ve always had lots of human company, they’d thrive with someone who can give them the attention they’ve grown accustomed to.

If you’re ready to open your heart and home to this loving pair, reach out today!
