Please Adopt Us

This week our featured animal is our one and only dog available for adoption — Rocky, a boxer-rotweiler mix. Rocky is a big, beautiful animal who loves people, gets along well with other dogs and needs some space to stretch his big body. He came from a very small house where he had no room to be a big dog. He is gentle and obedient and really needs to find a home where he can be loved and have an owner who will take him for nice, long walks. Please come and see Rocky — you will love him.
