Hi, new friend! Rocky here.
Terrier energy: strong opinions, a real motor, and a heart three sizes too big.
They wrote that I love to play. Understatement. I'd hike, fetch, and nap with you, in that order.
Born and (almost) raised right here in San Francisco.
Here's the thing — I can't tell if we'd truly click until I know a little about you. Sign in (it's free) and I'll size up your place, say hello to any dogs you've got — or be your very first — and give you my honest read on whether we'd be a match.
If all goes well, I could be curled up with my new pack by Thanksgiving — maybe yours, whether you adopt me or just help me get noticed.
Anyway, thank you for reading all the way to the end. Not everyone does, and I noticed. — Rocky

About Rocky
Rocky is a cute chihuahua / Jack Russell mix. Full disclosure: He gets his perky look from the chihuahua side, but his behavior is 100% Jack Russell. Rocky is looking for an active home with a family who can give him firm consistent discipline, plenty of play time, and an ability to see the good heart inside a feisty dog. Also no small children and no male dogs in the household please. In his foster setting, Rocky is sweet, loving, and funny. But sadly he and the resident male dog have irreconcilable differences. All that said ... when Rocky finds the right home, he will be your best friend forever! Rocky would be a great farm, ranch, or barn dog (watch). Jack Russells are famous for enjoying livestock. Got a horse? Rocky will help out around the barn or pasture! He also thrives indoors on ear scritches and neck rubs (watch), chilling while you work, or going out for walks in your favorite city. He is cheerful, fearless, and well trained on leash. He is in love with his little green tennis ball & can play fetch (watch) for ... well ... a long time He will entertain himself with games he makes up himself. Like dropping his ball into a shoe (watch) to see if he can get it back. He will bark angrily at windshield wipers (watch) and UPS trucks, but nibble his "Mr. Lamb" toy with the tenderness of a new father. Rocky likes both men and women, as long as they are active and confident. Rocky walks beautifully on a leash but does not know basic commands like "sit" or "stay'. That said, he is very treat-motivated and young enough to still learn new tricks. Grateful Dogs Rescue incurs substantial veterinary and other expenses in rescuing our dogs. In order to recoup some of these costs, we request a tax-deductible donation for each adoption. The suggested donation for Rocky is $300. If you are interested in adopting Rocky, please complete our online adoption application at https://www.gratefuldogsrescue.org/adoption-process/ . One of our volunteers will get back to you. Adoptions are local, confined to the SF Bay Area. See our other available dogs at https://www.gratefuldogsrescue.org/available-dogs/
