About Rocky

Adoption Fee: $300
Chihuahua mix
Age: Puppy
Sex: Male

Meet Rocky Balboa! He's a 1yr old 6 lb chi mix. He was saved moments before euthanasia from a central California shelter. He is named rocky as he put up quite the fight with one of our directors when attempting to bust him out of the shelter. He shows some pretty clear evidence of being abused and has taken some time to learn to trust. He now loves his foster and would like nothing more than to be as close as possible by any means necessary! His favorite place is inside your shirt! If there was a way for him to crawl inside his human he totally would! The past trauma he likely suffered still is evident even with the trust built. If you come at him too fast he will drop and scream like you are going to hit him. He has a history of fear biting strangers when he is unsure of his surroundings. He gets along with other mellow dogs but has no interest in engaging or playing. He just wants a warm lap all day. He would be perfect for a retired couple wanting a lap dog. We recommend no children as he is still fearful and the energy level would overwhelm him. He is potty trained with easy access to outside. Crate trained with some minor protesting but would rather be snuggled under your blankets to sleep. He is a foster favorite, and deserves people of his own that can show him he deserves a happy life with kisses and warmth! He is fixed vaccinated and chipped Adoption is 300 Located in eugene *** serious inquiries only please. If you are not ready to adopt please do not request or submit an application.
