We feature a different adoptable pet each week.  They are mostly dogs, but the Tri-County Humane Society has so many different pets.  Whether you would like a dog, cat, or some other type of critter, they probably have a pet there that you will love.

ONCE IN AWHILE YOU FIND A DOG THAT IS COMPLETELY HAPPY AND SWEET

Every so often, there is a dog that looks so happy and smiles that you can't help but to fall in love with them immediately.

Enter Rocky.  He is about a year old.  He was a stray, so there is not much known about him.  But what they do know is that he is happy, loves to play with his toys, loves to play with other people, and seems to be just fine with other dogs too.  However, with every pet you are looking at, if you have a pet already in the home, a meet and greet is strongly recommended.

This guy, Rocky, just seems like he just wants to have fun.  He is a very sweet dog, and just needs his forever home.

IF YOU DO WANT SOME MORE INFORMATION

If you would like some more information on Rocky, or any of the other pets that they have at the Tri-County Humane Society, you can call and make an appointment, or just stop in.  If the pet you are interested in is currently in foster care, it's best to make an appointment so you don't waste a trip.  But if you just let them know, they can have the pet at the shelter at a time that works best for you.

By the way, Ziggy, who was last week's featured pet, has now had his adoption fee paid.  A generous person paid the fee, and now the only think you would need to pay is the admin fee and some tax.  Very minimal.  So, if Rocky isn't the one for you, maybe Ziggy is!
