About Jocky

Jocky is a five-year-old, medium-sized hound and Australian Cattle Dog mix. He was surrendered by his previous owner after not getting along with another unaltered male dog in the home. Since his neuter, he’s adjusted well and now lives peacefully alongside both male and female dogs in his foster home. Jocky is crate trained and reliably housebroken, making daily routines straightforward. He tested positive for Lyme disease but has finished a 30-day round of doxycycline and is currently symptom-free. Vaccinations are up to date, and he is microchipped. Jocky gets along well with other dogs and children. Give them the home they have been waiting for. Apply today.
