💔 Backstory: Originally adopted as a young pup, now surrendered and seeking his true forever home
Rocky is a stunning young husky mix with a soft, fluffy coat and a heart full of love. At just 11 months old, this sweet boy is getting ready to celebrate his very first birthday — and what better gift than finding a forever family? Originally adopted as a tiny pup from Animal Friends of the Valleys, Rocky was sadly returned to the shelter on 4/12/2025 through no fault of his own.
Despite everything, Rocky remains a calm, affectionate, and gentle soul. He loves leaning into his humans for hugs and easily wins over everyone he meets. Dog walkers describe him as a dream: easy to collar, leash, and walk. On outings, Rocky enjoys exploring the world through “sniff-aris” and takes in every new scent with joyful curiosity. Though it’s unknown if he knows specific commands, Rocky is smart, food-motivated, and ready to learn with a little encouragement.
