Hi everyone, my name is Rocky
Meet Rocky! He’s the happiest boy you’ll ever meet. He’s always smiling, wagging his tail, and by your side. Every time you come home, Rocky will greet you with a little something—whether it’s his favourite toy, a blanket, or anything he can find—just to say hello.
Rocky is an easy-going guy who loves his daily walks, trotting by your side, although he can be quite strong so a confident handler would be great. He loves his play sessions, especially if there’s a ball involved—he’s totally obsessed!
He’s toilet trained and respects furniture, only joining you on the couch or bed when invited (he’s a true gentleman about it).
While Rocky would be perfectly happy as the only animal in the home, he could also live with another calm, older dog who’s happy to play now and then, and isn’t too toy obsessed.
Even though Rocky is an older boy, he is still quite active and loves zooming around the house so a house with a garden would be his preference!
His foster carer says ‘Rocky is the bestest boy, he brings such a nice energy to the house. Always checking what you’re up to, ready to hang and play or just chill and be close to you. He’s a goofball and a gentleman at the same time.’
If you’re looking for a loyal, playful companion who’ll bring tons of smiles into your life, Rocky is your guy! (Meet and greets are by appointment only)

Adopting an animal
Adopting an animal is a rewarding experience that will last a lifetime. But before you adopt a pet please take some time to consider the commitment you are about to make. Sometimes the excitement of pet ownership can overshadow factors that should be considered before adoption.
Adopting a shelter pet is a lifelong decision that will have a major impact to your normal, everyday life. Please remember that a cat or dog can live for up to 20 years and they will rely only on you for their wellbeing for their entire life.
- Do I have time to exercise the dog every day?
- Do I have time for puppy pre-school and time to socialise a puppy?
- Do I have at least an hour every day to spend with my cat?
- Do I have time for obedience training?
- If renting, does the landlord permit pets?
- Is the backyard big enough and is the fencing secure?
- Does the whole family want a pet?
- Will the pet be allowed inside?
- Will I have to move interstate or overseas in the foreseeable future?
- Will I have to move to another rental property where the landlord may not allow pets.
Pets are a lifelong monetary commitment, you will need to factor in:
- Weekly animal food bills and necessities
- Yearly council registration
- Monthly medications like heart worm/intestinal worm and flea treatments
- Annual vet visits for vaccinations and check ups
- Unexpected vet bills due to accidents or medical conditions
- Ongoing grooming
- Boarding fees for human holidays
- Enrichment like training, toys etc
