About Rocky

Rocky is a handsome 3-year-old, 84lb male dog with black and white markings. He's a smart boy who knows "sit" and would be a lot of fun to train, especially with treats! Rocky enjoys going on walks and does best with a harness. While he prefers to explore on his own at the shelter, he's likely to open up more in a home environment with patience and time.

Ideal Home

Rocky is a shy pup who may need extra time to warm up to new people and things. He would likely thrive in a calm, quiet home and is looking for a mature household, as young, noisy, or busy children can be too much for him.

Ongoing Health

Rocky has been neutered.

Training & Support

Rocky can be a bit socially awkward with other dogs, so a dog introduction is required. He's a shy pup who will need time to decompress and feel comfortable in his new surroundings.

Application Details:

Applications start by contacting us through Wags.
