Rocky

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 14 years

Name: Rocky. Breed: Mix. Age: born July 2012. Sex: male. Size: 40 cm / 8 kg. Neutered/Sterilized: male / neutered. Location / Country: Italy. Description: Rocky – an older male looking for a home… Rocky's story makes one very sad and at the same time wary of the people who have wronged him. Rocky had to spend his whole life on the balcony of an Italian apartment building, receiving food and water but no love. Now his life is to change completely, and Rocky is to find a wonderful home forever! Rocky currently lives with a kind animal welfare volunteer. He gets along very well with the other dogs there and enjoys being together with dogs of both sexes just as much as the running space on the spacious grounds. Rocky loves to play, romp, and frolic around. He is a cheerful soul. What is especially striking, however, is how much Rocky enjoys being with people. This sweet fellow follows the animal welfare volunteer everywhere she goes! Rocky always wants to be close to her and enjoys every bit of petting and cuddling. Rocky is certainly no youngster, but he is fit and quite active. For this somewhat older furry friend, the greatest thing would be to find loving people with whom he can find love, protection, security, and a warm spot forever. Has Rocky piqued your curiosity? We look forward to hearing from you about him! Compatible with cats: unknown. Compatible with other dogs: with males, with females. Contact person: Sabine Finkenzeller.

About Rocky

What life with Rocky looks like

Rocky is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Adozioni del cuore e.V. in Wedel.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Many dogs and cats leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport, but this varies by shelter, so confirm what is included with the shelter.

Frequently asked

Adopting Rocky, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Rocky?: Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Adozioni del cuore e.V. 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?: Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Adozioni del cuore e.V. whether they will for Rocky, what they require (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Rocky already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: Adozioni del cuore e.V. lists Rocky as neutered. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Adozioni del cuore e.V., so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Rocky isn't the right fit?: Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Adozioni del cuore e.V. about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them 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 (DE). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically.
