Rocky Is Scotch Plains-Fanwood's Pet Of The Week

SCOTCH PLAINS/FANWOOD, NJ — Meet Rocky! He has been chosen as Scotch Plains-Fanwood Patch's Pet Of The Week.

"We rescued Rocky aka “Rockdog” about eight years ago. He is part Shepherd part-Husky. We named him Rocky because of the scar under his eye when we got him. We were told he was probably wounded by another dog when he was out on the “streets and lost." He is always there when you need him!"

— Diane Ellis, Scotch Plains

Participating in the Pet of the Week happenings is simple: submit your nomination by emailing alexis.tarrazi@patch.com.

Then just keep an eye out for a photo of your pet on the Patch!

The photo can be of a present pet, or it can be a baby picture of the adult pet you're so proud of today.

Additionally the chosen Pet of the Week will receive 20 percent off any single item in Dukes's Pet Den in Scotch Plains. And winners can also bring their pet into the store, located at 417 Park Ave., in Scotch Plains for a picture. Duke's will put them up on their Facebook page as well.
