Meet Rocky. This eager-hearted young dog stands ready by his kennel, ears up, head tilted, always watching the door for a friend to come by. Rocky leans into attention and really hopes someone will slow down long enough to see him. There’s an easy affection about him—a goofy, earnest charm mixed with the smart sparkle of a dog who looks to his person for guidance. He’s learning the ropes, especially with his leash manners, and will happily soak up pointers from someone ready to show him a bit of patience. Underneath, there’s the makings of a loyal companion for life. Rocky is neutered, heartworm negative, and has his vaccinations current, so he’s ready for whatever comes next. If you’re nearby in Austin, TX, he’s waiting for the person he’ll call his own. Start your journey together! Apply now.
