My story

Meet Rocky Road! Rocky Roads story hasnt been the easiest, but he hasnt let that dull his spirit. After being left behind by his previous owners when they moved, Rocky Road was later found wandering near Archer Park and Double Kwik, limping along the roadside. Thankfully, kind people stepped in to get him to safety, and he made his way to us the very next day.Rocky Road previously lived in a home with a cat, so he has experience sharing his space. He does have an old paw injury that was never properly treated, which causes him to walk with a slight limp. Our vets have evaluated him and arent concernedhe gets around just fine! The only thing to keep in mind is the possibility of arthritis as he gets older.Despite everything hes been through, Rocky Road is a resilient, loving boy whos ready for a second chance. Hes looking for a family who will see past his past and give him the safe, comfortable life hes always deserved. If youre looking for a loyal companion with a strong heart and a gentle soul, Rocky Road is your guy.
