Rockie's Story

I came to the shelter looking like I had been well cared for. I even had a registered microchip, but unfortunately the phone numbers connected to it were no longer in service, so no one came to claim me. Even with that disappointment, I've stayed a happy, loving boy who enjoys spending time with people and soaking up all the attention I can get. Once I bond with my people, I absolutely love their affection and will gladly stay by your side for pets and quality time. I'm a decently active guy who enjoys getting out to explore, but I'm also happy to settle down and relax after some exercise. I'm decent on a leash, know how to sit, shake, and lay down, and I keep my kennel nice and tidy, which is a great sign that I may already be house trained. I can be reactive around other dogs, especially male dogs, and I do not do well with small dogs. I haven't had the chance to be introduced to a calm, submissive female dog yet, so the staff are still learning how I do in that situation. Because of this, slow and proper introductions would be important. I would thrive with an owner who will continue reinforcing my training, provide me with regular exercise, and give me plenty of love and attention. If you're looking for a loyal companion who already knows some manners, enjoys an active lifestyle, and loves being with his favorite people, I just might be the perfect match for you!
