Rocky

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

Rocky is a young mixed-breed lab, a bit shy with humans until he gets his collar on, then he realizes we're going for a walk and he relaxes. He's attentive, very calm, and well-behaved. Curious, playful, he loves treats and cuddles. He adores long walks and knows his way around a car. In the house, he's calm and clean. Adoption fee: 250€ including microchipping, neutering, first vaccination, and both internal and external parasites. OK for dogs, not OK for cats. Arrived at the shelter in February 2025. Weight: 20 kg. Click here, pre-adoption questionnaire. There's love in the air. In this month under the sign of the heart, staff and volunteers have imagined a tender attention to highlight the animal they would have chosen to love for life, if they had the chance. "With Rocky, cuddles and kisses are a daily affair for love and happiness forever." Baboo, dear Santa, It's me, Rocky, I'm 3 years old, arrived a year ago after the passing of my beloved master. My arrival wasn't easy; I had a hard time accepting his departure. Fortunately, the people who take care of me have helped me move forward and regain my appetite for life. I'm a dog with a messy look, yes, even after a grooming! I love to go for walks, since I was a puppy, the beautiful outings, in the countryside, where there are so many scents to sniff, while keeping an eye on my human, too scared he might get lost. I'm energetic, a true player, greedy, and so affectionate, I enjoy the pleasures of life. Obedient, I know how to listen, I have solid education foundations. A life in a home is desperately missing, with or without a girlfriend, I prefer girls hihi, but without a cat, they don't inspire my trust! I hope 2026 will be my year ❤️ Heartfelt pick of the week ❤️ My beautiful Rocky, that mischievous little look, that slightly messy fur, and your loveable face melted my heart. You're energetic, joyful, greedy, affectionate, obedient... You love to sniff and go for long walks, turning around every now and then to make sure we're still there 🥰 You'll need some time to trust, but once given, you reveal to be very affectionate and loving kisses! You have so many qualities, my Rocky, I wish you find the family that will give you all the love you deserve and I hope from the bottom of my heart that you will be seen as I see you:. Not suitable for homes with cats.

About Rocky

What life with Rocky looks like

Rocky is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at SPA du Gers in France.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇫🇷Adopting from France

French refuges follow the SPA framework: adopters sign a cession contract that includes sterilization, vaccinations, microchip identification, and rabies passport. Fees are typically €150–€300. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting Rocky, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Rocky?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. SPA du Gers handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Rocky on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Rocky if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — SPA du Gers will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Rocky already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Rocky isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with SPA du Gers early rather than rehoming privately; they know Rocky and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (FR). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
