Meet 2403-1182 Rocky
ROCKY is a 1+ year old boy surrendered to VBACAC. We even have his birthday - November 28, 2022. He is a medium size of 53 pounds and although nervous behind the shelter bars, he is friendly once outside and given that time to warm up to new people. He is house trained and walks well on a leash. He can startle easily at this time which makes sense in this shelter environment. Rocky seems to like other dogs and does well in our shelter playgroup. We are recommending older children. Please do your research on his breed as they can have certain instincts which may or may not fit in with your lifestyle and family. Currently Rocky is in a back kennel so if you don't see him, please just ask. VBACAC 341 S Birdneck Road, VB Open daily 12-5 pm.
Adoption Process

It is vitally important for adopters to locate a veterinarian/veterinary establishment for continued care.

Virginia Beach Animal Care and Adoption Center takes the adoption of a pet very seriously and wants to help adopters and the new pet make a smooth transition into the home. If you are considering pet adoption, we encourage you to ask questions of our staff in order to make the best decision for your family. Pet ownership is a life-long responsibility.
