About Rocky Road

Rocky Road is looking for a committed home ready to give him the consistency he deserves. This 2-year-old, 60-pound Boxer/Catahoula mix is house trained, crate trained, and dog friendly—though he'll definitely chase cats, so it's best there aren't any in his new home. Rocky Road is high energy, smart, and quick to learn any trick for a treat. He does best with an adult household where kids won't be part of the mix. His playful spirit extends to loving bath time and even donning a robe afterward, almost like a prizefighter after a match. A fenced yard and an adopter willing to keep up with his training and exercise needs are important for Rocky Road. His ideal person will provide time, attention, and plenty of opportunities for him to use his mind. This dog will thrive with dedicated humans who meet his energy and intelligence head-on.
