My story

#A5023039 Meet Rocky , a sweet, scruffy 9-year-old Akita boy who’s looking for love and a fresh start. This gentle senior has been through a lot, arriving underweight and in rough shape, but his resilient spirit still shines bright. With a cozy spa day and some TLC, his once-luxurious creamy coat will be back to its former glory. Rocky is hard of hearing and appreciates a calm, gentle approach, but he has so much love and loyalty left to give. He’s low energy, low maintenance, and would make a wonderful companion for a fellow senior looking for quiet, comforting company. Rocky is ready to spend his golden years in a home filled with kindness, peace, and care - will you be the one to give him that?   -9 year old white Akita -67 pound male - may need to be neutered before/after adoption, but the shelter can likely help with this! -may also need the standard round of shots and preventatives before he can go home with you, the shelter can likely help with these as well -came to the Baldwin Park Animal Care Center on 6/9/25 as an owner surrender - but we have no notes and no idea why, as Rocky is the sweetest, gentlest thing! -sweet scruffy senior in need of a spa day, to help him be more comfortable and return his luxe creamy coat to its former glory -weary but resilient - has obviously had a difficult past, given his low weight and poor condition, but is still ready and willing to give you lots of love and loyalty for the rest of his days -hard of hearing, so requires a gentle approach -needs a loving rescue, foster, or adopter to give him the care and attention he needs to live out his golden years with dignity and comfort -low energy and low maintenance, other than a few common senior ailments, so could be an excellent match for a human senior looking for calm companionship   https://youtube.com/shorts/MC7TR38cg7I?si=DCrRri5nHhJPX0O3   For more information, contact volunteer Lisa at lisaa@unitedhopeforanimals.org ------- United Hope for Animals (UHA) is a volunteer group and does not have a facility for animals.  This pet is part of our Shelter Support Program at the Baldwin Park Shelter. For more information about the pet, the adoption process, or our program please contact the Volunteer Adoption Coordinator listed above. Because animals are adopted/rescued daily, please also check the United Hope for Animals Facebook page to see if an animal is still available OR call the Baldwin Park Shelter at 626-962-3577. When inquiring about an animal, please reference the animal’s ID number. This will enable the volunteer or Baldwin Park employee to locate the status of the pet. Thank you for supporting rescue.July 8, 2025, 3:47 pm

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