Meet Rocky, a one-year-old, 52-pound bundle of joy wrapped in a soft white coat, with a spirit that shines brighter than the Texas sun! 🌞 This incredible mix of breeds — English Shepherd, Australian Cattle Dog, and American Staffordshire Terrier — truly makes him one-of-a-kind. Just picture those expressive eyes and playful energy! He’s a heart-stealer, folks! 💖 Rocky’s journey began when he was found roaming the streets of Texas, but now he’s safe and sound in a loving foster home in Connecticut since March of 2024. While we may not know all the details of his past, we do know he’s a gentle soul who is still getting used to meeting new people. At first, he may be a little shy and cautious, but just wait! Once Rocky feels comfortable, his affectionate and sweet nature busts right out. 🥰 This darling boy adores belly rubs and cuddles, and let’s not forget about those magical moments when he showers you with kisses — it’ll melt your heart! When he hears the freezer door open, Rocky will come running from anywhere in the house for a cherished piece of ice, so brace yourself! 🍦 The key to his heart is patience; with the right experience, he’ll slowly but surely trust again. An experienced dog owner who understands his needs would be a perfect match. In his cozy foster home, Rocky lives harmoniously with multiple dogs and shows great camaraderie with them! However, your existing furry friends should be calm and submissive because Rocky isn’t a fan of feline companions — sorry, cat lovers! 😿 He thrives best in a peaceful setting surrounded by women and would flourish in a calm household with teens and up. This smart boy is both house and crate trained, and being food-motivated makes him an excellent candidate for further training. 🧠✨ Currently, Rocky is vaccinated, microchipped, heartworm negative, and neutered — he’s all set to find a forever home! With an adoption fee of $400, anyone interested in adding this loving soul to their family should apply *through the Buddy App*! Don’t miss the chance to bring Rocky into your life — he’s just waiting to be your new best friend! 🐾💖
