UPDATE: 11/6/24—Great news! Kelly of All Kind Animal Initiative informed us that Rockie has officially been adopted and will go to a new, loving home! Thank you to those who shared this story!

We recently had the opportunity to check out All Kind Animal Initiative's new facility The PARC which was an an amazing experience. However, what isn't so amazing and quite sad is the fact that many of these animals land on the "Urgent List".

What Is An "Urgent List" At Pet Adoption Facilities?

Because of the influx of animals that All Kind Animal receives on a regular basis, many pets are put on this list based on several criteria including medical conditions, declining in the kennel, or just simply space. It's a sad realization that these animals will not end up in a loving home.

This bundle of joy is wrapped in an energetic, playful, and friendly package. Sweet and sociable, Rockie is always up for a game of ball or a long walk.

She is great with other dogs and recently went on a doggie day out and showed that she gets along well with both cats and kids! She’s looking for someone who can keep up with her energy and provide all the love she deserves.

Unfortunately, Rockie has been added to the urgent list due to her escape artist tendencies and her length of stay since September 11, 2024.

This lovely girl needs to be adopted by a family with a secure yard. If you're interested in bringing this beautiful companion into your home, please visit the PARC soon to adopt her!
