Senior dogs often have difficulty getting adopted. But that wasn’t the case for Rocky, a 17-year-old pup who got to live the rest of his life surrounded by love. Rocky had continually run away from his home despite his fragility and wound up at the Anne Arundel County Animal Control in Maryland.

So when Beth and Michael Clark were dropping by the shelter to make donations, they decided to step in to look at some of the adoptable dogs.

They saw Rocky’s sad eyes and were immediately won over.
