Please be aware that Rocky and Roxy always come with at least one Handler. Handlers serve as Rocky&#8217;s eyes, ears and voice since the mascots do not speak. The Handler is also available to help take photos, give suggestions and care for Rocky and Roxy&#8217;s wellbeing. We also take into account the length that the mascots are requested to be out at an event. Any event longer than 45 minutes will require a safe, air conditioned break area for the mascots to cool off.<\/p>\n<p>Looking for Deacon?
