About Rocky Conklin (Rottweiler) in Cuba

Rocky Conklin is waiting for you at Joyful Rescues, Inc. in Cuba, NY 14727. Update 4/2026 Someone inquired about Rocky the other day and I had to explain that his personality would not enable us to send him to a Petsmart for show and tell. We have made the decision to add Rocky to the Joyful sanctuary pets as he would struggle in a normal home if the humans weren't as fast as us because when he wants something (toy, bunch of kale....) he will be taking that something. He is also showing signs of physical aging typical of such large dogs and well....he farts SO much!!!! We love Rocky and will love him until it is time to let him go peacefully. Rocky was born June 23, 2015 and weighs about 100 lbs. Rocky is with us because his humans moved to a condo in Florida that does not allow his breed. Rocky is your typical Rottie and bonds intensely with his humans and would like for his new humans to be around more often than not. When Rocky was dropped off we were greeted with big (docked) tail wags and kisses. He needed vaccines and a bath upon arrival and he was wonderful with us for both, the nail trim was somewhat of a challenge and now that he is actively running around and swimming they are in good condition. Rocky has been good with other dogs here and if he goes to a home with another dog Rocky will likely be the alpha and a dog medium to his size would be preferred - he's just a lug. He is house trained and travels well in the car. He is also good on leash, but is strong if he decides to go in a different direction than you. He is the kind of guy that will hang with you when you are doing your outside chores. He has been fine meeting children but we wish to place him in an adult/teen home since he would most likely be protective of his home/family to strangers. When Rocky arrived he was out of shape and showed his age and after a few months here he looks amazing, is a wonderful weight, and if we didn't know better we might guess him to be about 7-8
