My story

Do you need to get your steps each day considering shorts/bathing suit weather is near?       **If so, we have the PERFECT dog for you!  Rocky loves his exercise and is just getting warmed up after 2-3 mile walks/runs MULTIPLE times a day - so your step count will never be better!   Do you need a reminder to stand up and move around during the day?    ** If so, we have the PERFECT dog for you!  Rocky will pull the pillow out from underneath you if you become a couch potato - so your circulation will thank you!   Do you ignore your alarm and need help getting out of bed?    **If so, we have the PERFECT dog for you!  Rocky is always happy and ready to start the day and will pull the covers off of you - so you will never be late to a morning meeting, coffee date or for all the summer fun coming soon!   Rocky is a super smart and social dog with lots and lots of energy/endurance (think energizer bunny) that gets along with everyone he meets and other dogs as well!  He is a diamond in the rough who needs someone that is willing to put the time in with professional training and the rewards will come back tenfold!  He has a wonderful personality and is house trained.  He needs to be an only dog in the home, because with being young and very enthusiastic, he needs work to perfect his "off" switch and it can get to be overwhelming for other 4 legged companions. He is about 1-2 years old and roughly 70-75lbs. He has lived with kids aged 4-7 years old, but does get excited and does not realize his size and that he can bump them over. Fences will need to be 6’ tall as Rocky has showed his leaping ability while in his foster home. **Breed or size (once fully grown) is a 'best guess' and is not guaranteed since they arrived into rescue without either parent. **Magnificent Mutts is an all foster home based rescue and meets are held by appointment with the entire family in attendance. Please ensure your current pets are up to date with vetting, have landlord/HOA approval and are prepared to take your new family member home at the adoption appointment.  Thank you for your interest!                             If you are interested in adoption, please complete the "Application to Adopt" which can be accessed from this link: (     www.magnificentmutts.org )  No phone calls please, emails only. Adoption donations range between $360-$400 (cash only), unless otherwise noted. Prices are subject to change, please contact for specific adoption donation. Please visit www.magnificentmutts.org for the online dog application. May 12, 2025, 1:23 pm

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Rocky - PRIORITY!, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
