Rocky, a 2-year-old terrier mix, watches as Daniele Bertrand of Gilmanton signs adoption papers for him at the Belknap Mall. Many of the adopted dogs were from Texas and the Houston area, while others were also rescue dogs from the South, according to Gorham. Among those who were successful in their search for a pet to brighten their home during the holiday season was Danielle Bertrand of Gilmanton, who adopted Rocky, a 2-year-old terrier mix. Also bringing a dog home for the holidays was Shelby Perry of Belmont, who chose another dog named Rocky, a 1-year-old Yorkshire terrier. Gorham thanked Paige Quigley, manager of the Belknap Mall, for allowing the adopt-a-thon to use the former Blockbuster Video store space for the event.
