Rocky's Story

Meet Rocky A playful little pup ready to take on the world! Rocky is a 3-month-old, 13-pound brindle mixed-breed boy with a short, low-maintenance coat and a big puppy personality. He’s already neutered and off to a great start in life thanks to his foster family. This happy guy is friendly, playful, curious, and funny, with an athletic streak that shows when he’s romping around the house or yard. One of Rocky’s most endearing quirks? He’ll run full speed and then flop right down onto his bed like he ran out of batteries—it’s guaranteed to make you smile. Rocky loves playing with other dogs and does especially well with canine companions. He can be a little shy when first meeting new people, but he warms up with patience and kindness. His favorite game is a good old-fashioned tug-of-war with a rope, and he’s most active during the daytime. He’s already learning his basics and knows sit, stay, come, off, leave it, and drop it—pretty impressive for such a young pup! Rocky responds to verbal correction, though if he’s unsure, he may run away rather than argue. He is crate trained, mostly potty trained with only rare accidents, and still working on leash skills, crate confidence, and perfecting house manners (normal puppy stuff!). Rocky does require a home with a secure privacy-fenced yard where he can safely burn off his puppy energy. He would do well in a home with other dogs and is considered okay with young children. Cats are currently unknown. If you’re looking for a loving, playful puppy who will grow into a fun, loyal companion, Rocky is ready to steal your heart (and maybe your rope toys). His adoption fee is $400. Rocky is neutered, up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccinations, microchipped and is on monthly flea/tick and heartworm prevention. Please follow the link below for the adoption application. Note: applicants must live within one hour of Toledo, Ohio. http://www.dogworksohio.com/adoption-application.html

DogWorks Inc. Canine Rescue and Placement's Adoption Policy

Dogworks strives to place dogs into permanent homes based on the dogs' personalities and yours. To adopt a dog, we require a completed application, signed adoption contract, and home visit. Applications can be submitted online, by mail, or in person at adoption events. Once your application has been submitted, we will contact your references and consider suitability. You will be contacted by phone or email, typically within 4 business days, to make arrangements for adoption. If a particular dog is not placed with you, it does not mean that your application has been rejected. Dogworks receives multiple applications for some dogs. Foster families always have the first option to adopt. We do not approve applications on a first come basis as we strive for placement that is best for the dog and adoptive family. The home environment, family composition and yard are very important considerations in our decision to place a dog in a home. Some dogs do not do well with young children or cats, and our hounds require a fenced yard as examples of our decision process. Adoption fees are variable (typically $125-$500.00) and are listed with the description of each dog. All fees collected are used to cover rescue expenses, including foster care and veterinary expenses. Adoption fee will be refunded if you decide that the dog is not compatible with your family within 2 weeks. All dogs have received age appropriate vaccinations, GI dewormer, and heartworm test prior to adoption if they are old enough. Adult dogs and puppies older than 12 weeks are spayed/neutered. Adopters of younger puppies may be required to sign an agreement to complete spay/neuter by 5 months of age. We will assist with spay/neuter costs. All of our dogs and puppies will be microchipped prior to adoption. Adopters will receive a copy of medical records when adoption contract has been signed and adoption fees have been paid in full. Requirements for adoption: Please be aware that your adoption application WILL NOT be approved by Dogworks unless ALL of these criteria are met: >Adopters must be within a one hour radius of Toledo. >Adopters must be at least 21 years of age. >Veterinary reference must be positive. >All dogs in the home must be spayed/neutered. >All members of the household must be in agreement to adopt. >Individual needs of the dog must be met in prospective home (e.g., fully fenced yard for all hounds).
