Rocky is a handsome, 7 yr old, 14 lb. Pekingese. 

Rocky is an attentive, happy, and playful Pekingese who just happens to be mostly blind. He can see some shadows and movement but must be leashed-walked so he doesn’t bump into anything. 

Rocky is very happy and learns to navigate his surroundings quickly.  This little guy’s favorite activities are eating, walking 2-4 times/day, playing with toys, and of course TREATS! He has an uncanny sense of finding the toy baskets in the house.  He absolutely LOVES to ride in the car (seat-belted in of course).

Rocky’s ideal home is quiet, with an experienced Peke owner, and as an only dog. His owner will be a special person who understands his disability and Peke disposition and is willing to work with him.  Like most Pekes, he takes a while to warm up to new people but once you earn his trust, you are his person! 

He must be monitored every 6 months to ensure he hasn’t developed glaucoma. Rocky is on inexpensive anti-inflammatory drops (Neo-Poly-Dex) for his right eye.  Rocky is a good patient at the vet.
