During the hot summer (and fall) months in Tucson, there’s nothing quite like a creamy scoop of ice cream to help you cool down from the extreme heat. We happen to be big fans of rocky road- chocolate ice cream with marshmallows and mixed nuts. Speaking of things that are brown, white and sweet all over, we’d love to introduce you to our very good boy named Rocky! Rocky’s former owner shared that he was affectionate, playful, crate trained, and always at your side. When he first came to the shelter he was quite nervous, but he has settled in and his amazing, sweet personality has come out. Rocky spent two months in a foster home where he did great with kids, cats and other dogs. He liked to sleep near his foster people at night, was well- behaved when left home alone (occupied with his own chew toys), and was house and crate trained. Rocky’s foster described him as a “goofy, floppy, silly, clumsy noodle boy” who is loving, gentle and cuddly with his trusted people. Rocky needs time to warm up to new people, particularly men, but with time will be your best friend. Here's what one volunteer at the shelter said: “Rocky is such a fun little boy! He's a spunky, friendly, fun guy! He loves to run around and around the play yard with his kennelmate. He is also an all-star snuggler. I was sitting on a bench this morning and he came and got right up onto my lap and gave me lots of sweet puppy kisses. He absolutely loves treats and he takes them very gently with a soft mouth. At one point both he and his kennelmate got up onto the bench on either side of me, and we had group cuddle time!” Rocky has shared his kennel politely with several similar-sized pups and has been playful, social, and easygoing when meeting other dogs in playgroup. He’s just a youngin’ and still has typical exuberant puppy energy; he’d love to find a family who will provide training and plenty of opportunities for exercise and love! If you’re looking for a dog who promises to bring you daily laughs with his goofy puppy antics, come meet Rocky today!
