Rocky's Story

Location: Calgary, AB// Age: Approx 2 years// Sex: Neutered Male// Size: Large// Energy level: High// Dogs: Yes, Rocky LOVES dogs// Cats: Yep - he lives with a dog savvy cat// Kids: You bet, he's a gentle boy with kids of all ages// Meet Rocky – Your New Best Friend in Motion! ?? Looking for a dog who’s equal parts fun, loving, and full of life? Meet Rocky — a quirky, high-energy sweetheart who's always ready for his next adventure (or a sunbathing session)! Rocky is the king of movement — he loves to run, play tag, herd his dog friends, and basically turn life into one big game of "catch me if you can!" If you have another playful dog at home, Rocky will be in heaven. He adores his canine companions, wrestling, chasing, and cuddling like a true pro. He’s also been a wonderful buddy to his foster family's kids, showing lots of love and just a little sass when he’s feeling “over-loved” (who can relate? ????). When he’s not zooming around, Rocky is a top-tier sunbather who can nap like a champion in any cozy hallway or sunny patch of floor. He’s house-trained, sleeps through the night, rides well in the car, and is good with both dogs and cats (although he thinks chasing the cat for some playful sniffing is just part of the fun). Rocky’s leash skills are coming along great — he’s not a big fan of the harness and might voice his opinion about it — but once he gets going, he settles in quickly and focuses on the adventure ahead. Fun Rocky Facts: Loves cardboard boxes (your recycling helper!) More into playing with you than with toys Breaks into a happy little dance when the sun comes out ?? Motivated by attention, affection, and fun — not food or toys. Sleeps best in "transition spaces" (hallways, doorways — it's his thing!) Quirky, silly, and full of personality. Rocky is a sensitive soul — new places can stress him out at first, but he bonds fast with people who show him love and patience. He's protective over his food and water (fair enough, right?), but has never shown aggression. Rocky would thrive in an active household that loves to play, run, and cuddle. He would love a dog buddy to wrestle with, but he’s just as happy if you can match his energy and give him lots of human connection. If you’re ready for a loyal, goofy, sun-chasing adventure buddy, Rocky is ready to race into your heart. ?? Apply to meet him here: https://www.ruffstartanimalrescue.com/dog-application-form
