Mr. Rocky is an incredibly sweet and tender soul who thrives on connection. He is a 5-year-old, 43-pound pup who was recently returned to us after losing the person his world revolved around. Rocky does very well with other dogs and would love a home with one or two canine companions. He is also friendly with kitty cats and has done well with children 8+. Rocky enjoys plush toys, chewies, all kinds of treats, long lounging sessions, cozy cuddles, and he is a big fan of walks. He is happiest when close to his person or family and can experience some anxiety when left alone. He is crate trained and able to relax in a crate for a few hours at a time when needed. Rocky can be a bit shy and nervous when meeting new people, sometimes hanging back until he feels safe. He has a soft spot for the ladies, though a kind, patient man could likely earn his trust and affection. Once he bonds, Rocky is deeply loving and devoted. He is housebroken and lights up the moment he hears the word "walk." He is truly accustomed to being someone’s moon and stars and is ready to find that kind of love again.
Ideal Home
Rocky would thrive in a semi-active home where he can be with his people more often than not. He lights up at the word "walk" and enjoys them immensely. While he does well with other dogs and cats, he does experience some separation anxiety and would prefer a home where he isn't left alone for extended periods.
Ongoing Health
All High Sierra Animal Rescue dogs are spayed or neutered, up-to-date on age-appropriate shots, micro-chipped, tested for heartworm, given heartworm preventative medication each month, and de-wormed.
Training & Support
Rocky is crate trained and knows commands such as "sit" and "down." He also knows his name and is working on "good." He is housebroken and walks great on leash. Due to his separation anxiety, he will need a patient and understanding approach to help him feel secure when left alone.
