Hi, I’m Boots! ❤️ I’m an adorable little puppy with a happy tail, the cutest tippy taps and enough excitement to make just about anything feel like the best thing ever!

I’m a very lovable girl who wants to be wherever my people are. Whether we’re cuddling together, playing outside or simply hanging out, I’m happiest when I get to be by your side. I love a good game of ball chase and scampering around the yard, but I also know the importance of a good nap after all that puppy business. Play hard, nap hard… that’s my motto! 💤

I’m also a big fan of other dogs! I live with two older dogs right now, and I love following them around and learning from them. Having canine friends to play with makes me very happy, and I’d love to have opportunities to keep socializing with other friendly, appropriate dogs as I grow up.

I’m still a little baby, so I’m learning all about how to be a well-mannered member of the family. My crate training is coming along really well for my age, and I’m making great progress with potty training, too. I’ll need my new family to keep working on both as I grow, because I’m definitely not finished learning just yet!

I’m also in my puppy shark era 🦈 . Sometimes I get excited and want to chew on things, including my leash, so I’ll need someone who can gently redirect me toward appropriate toys and help me learn what’s okay to chew. I’m not trying to be naughty; I’m just a puppy exploring the world with my mouth!

When we’re outside, I’ve been doing a lovely job of staying close to my foster and my recall is surprisingly good for such a little girl. I’m still learning how to walk on a leash properly, though, so we’ll need to keep practising together as I grow and discover all the exciting things the world has to offer.

Name: Patches
DOB: July, 2026
Energy: Medium-High, typical puppy energy with bursts of play and rest
Dogs: yes
Cats: not tested but Maybe okay with proper management
Kids: as always with proper management and boundaries
Medical: to be neutered will be covered by rescue. Dewormed and microchipped

Hi, I’m Patches! ❤️

I’m a very handsome little guy with a big personality, a clever brain and a set of puppy-dog eyes that could probably get me out of just about anything. My foster says I’m very sweet and loving, and I get SO excited when my people come back that I can barely contain myself!

I have what you might call stop-and-go energy. When I’m awake and out of my crate, I’m ready to play, run around the yard and investigate absolutely everything. Once I’ve had my fill of fun, though, I’m happy to settle down in my crate for a nap.

I’m a pretty smart little cookie, too. I already know how to sit and shake a paw, I can figure out treat puzzles, and I love playing fetch. Sometimes I even bring the toy back! When I chase or pounce on a toy, I have the silliest little pounce that is sure to make you laugh. I’m also VERY food motivated. If treats are involved, you have my full attention, and I’m usually willing to work hard to get them.

Of course, I’m still a puppy, and I’m learning how to use all that intelligence for good. When I get excited, I can nip at hands, feet, ankles and pants, especially when we’re outside playing. I also explore the world with my mouth, which means I may try to pick up things I really shouldn’t. Shoes are a particular favourite of mine, and if one is within reach, I’ll be tempted to carry it off like my own personal treasure.

I’m looking for a family who understands that these are puppy behaviours that need consistent training, redirection and patience. I’m learning to listen to commands and manage my excitement, and I’ll need my people to help me practise as I grow. I’m clever and eager when there’s something worthwhile to work for, so positive training and plenty of mental stimulation will be important for me.

My crate training is going well and need to be continued

🐾 Name: Sadie
DOB: July, 2026
Energy: Medium (with typical puppy bursts!)
Good with cats: untested but maybe okay with proper management
Good with dogs: yes
Good with kids: as always with proper management and boundaries
Medical:
• will be spayed when age appropriate. Cost covered by rescue.

Hi, I’m Sadie! ❤️

I’m a little puppy with lots of energy, lots of love to give, and a very special way of making sure you never forget I’m there. How? By nibbling on your feet the moment I see you! It starts out as little tickles, but sometimes my puppy teeth get a bit carried away. My foster is working on redirecting me to toys, and I’m still learning what’s okay and what isn’t.

I’m also your future little shadow. I follow my person absolutely everywhere, even to the bathroom. You won’t need to call me because chances are, I’m already right behind you!

Meeting new people can make me a little shy at first, but I warm up pretty quickly. I love playing with my foster’s six-year-old nephew, and since we both have lots of energy, we make a pretty good team! I love a good game of chase, too. If you start running, there’s a good chance I’ll be right behind you before you know it.

Of course, even a busy girl like me needs her beauty sleep. When I’m ready for a nap, I love curling up at my foster’s feet or settling onto their lap for some cuddles. I’m happiest when I can be close to my people, whether we’re playing or just enjoying some quiet time together.

I’m making progress with my puppy training! I know my name and will come when I’m called. I’m still practising my sit, and I’m learning how to play fetch. I’m pretty good at running to get the toy, but bringing it all the way back to you is apparently an optional part of the game for now. We’re working on it!

My crate training is coming along, too. I go into my crate on my own at night, although I may whine for about five minutes when I’m put in during the day. I also whine when my foster leaves the house, but I settle down pretty quickly.

🦃🍂 Happy Thanksgiving from Rocky Road Rescue! 🍂🧡

This Thanksgiving, we're feeling extra grateful for the incredible community that makes everything we do possible.

Rescue is never a one-person job. It's a whole community coming together for dogs who need a second chance, and we are so thankful for every single person who is part of our journey.

🧡 To our volunteers, who give their time, energy, and hearts to help our rescue run.

🏡 To our amazing fosters, who open their homes and hearts to dogs in need, providing safety, patience, comfort, and love while they wait for their forever families.

🚗 To our transport drivers, who help get our dogs where they need to go, whether it's to a foster home, a vet appointment, or the next step in their journey.

🎉 To everyone who attends our events, participates in fundraisers, and shows up to support our mission.

💛 To our donors and supporters, who help cover medical care, supplies, food, and all the unexpected costs that come with rescue.

📲 To everyone who likes, comments on, and shares our social media posts. You never know when your share will be the one that helps a dog find their person!

🐶 And, of course, to our dogs. The ones who remind us why we do this, who teach us about resilience, trust, and unconditional love, and who make every challenging day worth it.

We are grateful for every wagging tail, every little milestone, every breakthrough, and every happy ending. And for the dogs still waiting, we're grateful for the chance to keep fighting for them.

Most of all, we're thankful for the people who stand beside us, believe in our mission, and help us give dogs the futures they deserve. Whether you've been with us for years or just joined our community, you are part of the Rocky Road Rescue family. ♥️

Thank you for being part of their journey. We truly couldn't do this without you!!!
