I've found my furever family!

Hi! My Name Is Rocky

We're happy to tell you that Rocky has a new furever home.
Please visit our Available Dogs Page to see the pups currently available.

Hi. I’m Rocky. I’m 4 years old, 185 pounds, and apparently “the largest living creature DDS has ever seen.” That’s the actual quote. Not sure if I should be flattered or offended, but here we are.

When I arrived at Daisy’s Dane Sanctuary, I was not tossed into a kennel like some rookie. Oh no—I got the VIP suite. Momma Chrissy’s actual office. Two beds. My own TV. Zero roommates. Turns out, not liking other dogs has its perks.

Anyway, let’s get to the important stuff.

Yes, I’m potty trained. I even ring bells to go outside—because I’m classy.

Yes, I sleep in the room with my people. On the floor, like a gentleman.

Yes, I hate baths. But sprinklers? Total chaos. I’m in.

Yes, I’m a bit “robust,” so now I’m on joint supplements and some rude weight management food. No, I did not sign up for this fitness journey. Yes, I will still accept popcorn.

I’m what they call a “unicorn placement,” which basically means I need:

  • A home with no other pets
  • A home with humans only
  • Preferably kids, especially if they’re sturdy. I used to belong to an 11-year-old and I love the littles. But if your toddler is built like a pool noodle, I might knock them over by accident.

Other fun facts about me:

  • I love peanut butter, pup cups, and empty 2-liter bottles
  • I check on everyone in the house at night. Sniff doors. Do some spins. Slam back down to sleep.
  • I do not do kennels. No thanks.
  • I’m neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and ready to roll.

So, if you’ve got a dog-free home, a solid snack game, and a heart big enough for a giant goofball with a flair for the dramatic—submit that application and let the DDS crew know you’re ready for me.

  • I’m Rocky. I’m dramatic. I’m devoted. I’m definitely too big for your couch. And I might just be your soulmate.
