About Rocky Ricardo’s Breed:
Chihuahuas are small in size but bursting with personality and loyalty. They thrive on closeness with their people and love nothing more than being part of a quiet, loving home. These tiny pups are alert, affectionate, and often happiest when snuggled under a blanket or in your lap. With consistency and care, Chihuahuas form strong bonds and become endlessly devoted companions.

Rocky Ricardo’s Story & Personality:
Rocky Ricardo came from a difficult background and is still adjusting to life as a cherished indoor dog. While he’s still learning leash and house manners, he’s already crate trained and comfortable relaxing in his crate or in your lap. Rocky’s gentle nature shines through in his love for pets, scritches, and quiet companionship. He’s sweet, mellow, and deeply affectionate, but also enjoys his play time running around. Most of all, Rocky adores his best friend Tiny Taco—the two are inseparable and bring out the best in each other. They must be adopted together and will fill your home with double the love and twice the cuddles.

Rocky Ricardo’s Perfect Home:



Has a securely fenced yard (he’s still working on leash walking)


Can adopt both Rocky Ricardo and Tiny Taco together


Willing to continue house training with patience and love


Looking for a snuggly, low-maintenance pair of companions
