Notes: Those eyes tell it all as this soulful boy just wants a place to call home. Our guy Rocky is a very beefy boy weighing almost 70 lbs that even with all the noise in shelter he is the only one we still have not heard make a peep since arriving in our care in December as a surrender. His family said he is 10 years old but when he was seen by the vet, they guessed him to be around 3 years old. This boy has old man energy as he wants to spend his days snuggled up in the blankets.

Rocky is looking for mellow home filled with all the treats and blankets. He is a mature boy and he just wants to enjoy life. Rocky does have some neck sensitivity and we are not sure if that is coming from a previous incident. Rocky adores going for walks and will potty on leash. He seems fine with other dogs and is an overly sweet boy who says "you got treats, your my very best friend".

ONE BY ONE One by one, they pass by my cage Too old, too worn, too broken, they say Way past his time, he can’t run and play They shake their heads and go on their way A little old man, arthritic and sore It seems that I am wanted no more I once had a home, I once had a bed A place that was warm, and where I was fed Now my muzzle is grey, and my eyes slowly fail Who wants a dog so old and so frail? My family decided I didn’t belong I got in their way, my attitude wrong Now I sit in this kennel, where day after day The younger ones are chosen and taken away When I had come to the end of my rope You saw my face and again I knew hope You saw past the grey, the legs wobbly with age And felt I deserved life beyond this cage You took me home, gave me food and a bed You gently stroked my poor tired head We snuggle and play, you talk to me low You love me so dearly, and make sure I know Although I have lived most of my life with another You outshine them with a love so much stronger I promise to return all the love I can give To you my dear friend, as long as I live I may be with you for a week, or for years We will share many smiles, and a few tears When the time comes, that God deems I must leave I know you will cry and your heart it will grieve When I arrive at the Bridge all brand new My thoughts and my heart will still be with you And I will brag to all who will hear Of the person who made my last days so dear.
