Rocky's Story

HI! My name is Rocky and I am male border collie x Siberian husky dog approximately 4-5 yr old. I was rescued by Herding Haven from a shelter in Utah where I had been picked up as a stray. My foster mom describes me as sweet and affectionate. A real "gentle giant", I'm a big, fluffy boy weighing just under 70 lb. Because of my thick undercoat, I do not like the heat and while I adore the snow, if it melts (i.e., water) I am not a fan! I have a low to moderate energy level. I enjoy a nice walk and a short play session, but after that I really just want to chill out by your side on a comfy dog bed or preferably the couch. I am good with other dogs and great with people. Because of my size, I would probably not do well in a home with small/young children (I might knock them over). Older , dog savvy kids (> 8yr) would be fine. I'm a smart boy and know how to "sit", "shake", "roll over" and "lay down". I am house-broken, know how to use a doggy door and don't need to be in a crate because I'm not destructive. I'm neutered, microchipped and up-to-date on my vaccinations. If you are interested in meeting me, please contact kathie@herdinghaven.org

Our Mission
Herding Haven rescues herding dogs from shelters where they have been deemed "unadaptable" due to physical, medical or behavioral issues (or sometimes just because the shelter is out of space). We place them in foster homes, rehabilitate them and then find them "forever" homes.
