Notes from Domino Effect Animal Rescue

If you're looking for an easy pup, Rocky is your guy! Overall, he is quiet and mellow, happy to spend his days relaxing and cuddling with his person. However, he can be playful and active if you're feeling up for some fun. He loves being outside and has become very interested in chasing lizards or squirrels.

Rocky gets along with every person he has met, but he isn't running up to everyone to make friends. He is mostly uninterested in new people and needs a little time to truly bond and open up. Because he can be shy, we think a home with young kids may be too much for him. He also would do best without hyper/dominant dogs. He gets along with our pups, but Rocky is submissive and he has been picked on in the past by bossy dogs so we want to make sure he can feel confident and secure in his next home.

Although it may seem like he doesn't care at first, once Rocky is in the right environment where he can feel comfortable, he is a sweet, cuddly boy and he even enjoys playing with a few of our other dogs.

Rocky is a 15 lb, 5 year old Yorkie mix (likely with Poodle or Schnauzer) and has very soft, fine hair that will need regular grooming. Our groomer said he behaved very well during his hair cut!

Rocky is already neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped so he can move in right away!
