Rocky is a male baby with a medium coat length, weighing around 9.2 lbs. He is a mixed-breed dog, likely with German Shepherd and Australian Shepherd in his lineage. Living in Saint Paul, MN, Rocky is not yet house trained but is vaccinated. He is not altered yet, as he will require a spay/neuter surgery by 6 months of age, which is covered by his adoption fee.

About Rocky

Rocky is excited to find his forever home! He and his friends will be at a meet and greet/adoption event at Arbeiter Brewing in Saint Paul, MN on Saturday, October 3 from 12 PM to 3 PM—unless he's adopted before then. Come cuddle with him and see if he's the right match for you. At just about 9 weeks old, Rocky weighs in at 9.2 lbs and comes from a family rescued when their mom was abandoned. People-oriented and well socialized, Rocky loves making new friends. While we suspect he might be a mix of German Shepherd and Australian Shepherd, his DNA results are still pending. Given his background, socialization is key for him, so be prepared to expose him to various environments and activities to help him grow into a well-rounded dog. Rocky is currently using newspapers and is ready to start outdoor potty training. He has been vet-checked and vaccinated, but he will need two more puppy vaccinations plus rabies after adoption. Adoption fee includes a spay/neuter surgery by 6 months old at our clinic. If you are fully committed to puppy parenting and live in an area where you can provide him with lots of socialization opportunities, Rocky could be your new best friend. Ready to fall in love?
