Rockie has been in foster care for eight months, waiting for that perfect match. She recently met a potential adopter, but the resident dog didn’t take to her—no fault of Rockie’s. At two years old, this large shepherd mix is full of energy and heart. Her playful spirit is matched by her devotion to people once she feels comfortable. Rockie starts out shy and reserved, but with a little patience, she opens up into a warm and loving companion. She’s both crate and potty trained, spayed, and her vaccinations are all current. Rockie loves to play and craves affection, though her high energy means she could use some help learning not to jump up when excited. Rockie tends to be dominant with other dogs, so she would thrive best as the only dog or with a very easygoing companion—she’s proven to enjoy playtime with a calm chihuahua. Her coat is short, mostly black with a warm brown tint, and she came into foster with a crooked tail, which only adds to her unique charm. Rockie is searching for someone who can give her the patient love and attention she’s missed. She deserves a home where she’ll be cherished. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
