Rocky Road is a small, scruffy terrier mix who’s working hard to leave his rough past behind. He weighs around 16 pounds and has struggled with trusting people, so he’ll need someone patient and experienced to help him build confidence. Rocky Road can’t be touched yet, though he’s just starting to take treats from his foster. He’s very sensitive to body language, thrives on a predictable routine, and can be loud in his crate, especially when he’s excited or needs to go out. Apartment life won’t suit him—he 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 Road’s not a fit for a home with young kids—he 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. If you’re looking to truly change a life—his and yours—he’s in Colorado Springs, CO, and ready for the next step. Start your journey together! Apply now.
