Rocky's Story

Rocky is a sweet, medium-sized energetic dog who loves people, including kids, and dogs. He loves to run around outside and play fetch so he would do best in a home with a fenced yard. He loves to play with his humans and be silly. He would make an EXCELLENT family dog! He adores and is remarkably gentle with the one-year old child he lives with. He's so careful about taking treats and toys from his hands gently. At just over a year, Rocky does sometimes mistake the child's toys for his own, so if you have young kids, you'll have to keep the stuffies up high, but he's improving as he matures. Rocky is crate trained and extremely food motivated. In fact, he will snag any food left unattended for too long! He loves walks and knows a few commands (here, sit, lie down, down, fetch). <br/><br/>Don't let that furrowed brow fool you - Rocky is a happy boy! He is smart and energetic, so he will need a home that can provide him lots of physical and mental stimulation, but also enjoys just lying down and hanging out with the family while playing with his stuffed animals. We haven't cat tested him yet. He does bark at the feral cats and squirrels, but does not chase them, yay!<br/><br/>According to his DNA test, Rocky is 1/4 mastiff, 1/4 "herding dog lineage," 1/4 boxer, and the remaining 1/4 includes spitz, and pointer, spaniel. The great news is that the test revealed no genetic predispositions to illness!<br/><br/>Rocky is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on his vaccines.
