About Rocky Road
Rocky Road is a small, scruffy terrier mix whoās working hard to leave his rough past behind. He weighs around 16 pounds and has struggled with trusting people, so heāll need someone patient and experienced to help him build confidence. Rocky Road canāt be touched yet, though heās just starting to take treats from his foster. Heās very sensitive to body language, thrives on a predictable routine, and can be loud in his crate, especially when heās excited or needs to go out. Apartment life wonāt suit himāhe needs a yard where he can run and avoid stressful walks in busy areas. Socially, Rocky Road does best with other dogs and must join a home with at least one dog already living there. He gets along with dogs he meets and is generally fine with cats, though he may chase if they run (just for fun, no harm intended). Rocky Roadās not a fit for a home with young kidsāhe needs older, understanding humans willing to help him open up. He enjoys toys, happily pulls them from the bucket, and loves joining in a good game of chase with other dogs. Rocky Road will need time and consistency, as well as a canine friend to help show him the ropes.
