Adopt Rocky Male Yorkshire Terrier

Rocky is a 4-year-old male Yorkshire Terrier (Yorkie) who is struggling with apartment living and would do best in a home with a secure yard where he can run, play, and release energy. He is a true lapdog at heart—loving, gentle, and happiest when close to his people.

Rocky has a very sweet nature and is especially good with babies and toddlers. He enjoys calm affection and will happily sit, relax, and cuddle with his family. He also enjoys going for walks on leash and gets very excited about car rides.

While Rocky is not a constant barker, he may bark when he feels stressed or unsure, particularly when meeting unfamiliar people on walks. With continued guidance, patience, and positive exposure, this behaviour is already improving.

Rocky currently attends doggy day care, which is helping him build confidence and become more relaxed around other dogs. He will thrive in a home that understands small-breed sensitivities and is willing to continue his socialisation and training.
