About Rocky

Rocky is a remarkable dog still finding his footing in a new world. His past is a bit of a mystery, but he's ready to start fresh. New experiences and introductions can be overwhelming for him, so a slow approach works best. Rocky thrives on affection but prefers it on his own terms, making it essential to learn canine body language together. He'd do best in an adult-only home where he can feel secure. Sharing food, toys, or his space with other animals isn't something he enjoys, so he may need to be the only pet. Patience is key as he’s eager to learn and needs a dedicated individual who can commit time to training. Are you ready to guide him through his journey?
