Baypath Adoptable Animal of the Week: Rocky

by | Jan 12, 2023 | Featured

Adoptable Animal-Rocky

Each week, the Independent highlights an animal available for adoption at Baypath Humane Society in Hopkinton. This week’s adoptable animal is 8-year-old Rocky.

Here is Baypath’s description of Rocky:

“This handsome boy came to us from a home due to no fault of his own, and he is ready to find another heart to steal! He really loves to be around people and has met many people on his walks and at the shelter. He’s gone on walks with other dogs, but we are unsure if he would want to live with another dog, as he isn’t really interested in playing with them. He may want all the love to himself!

“He loves to play in the water and bob for treats. He enjoys short walks and walks very well on a leash, although he is very strong.

“Rocky loves car rides. He sits like a perfect gentleman and calmly rests his head on the window while watching cars and people go by.

“Even though there is nothing better than a cozy bed or couch to snuggle up on, he does enjoy a good play session — especially with squeaky toys.

“Rocky is looking for a quiet home that he can retire to and live out his golden years.”

For more information on Rocky and any of the other available pets at Baypath, email adopt@baypathhumane.org or visit baypathhumane.org/adopt.
