Rocky's Story

Meet Rocky <br/><br/>Rocky is a 6-year-old Havanese with a big heart and an even bigger personality. Hes a sweet, sensitive little guy who bonds closely with his people and loves being near someone he trusts. Once he feels safe, Rocky is affectionate, loyal, and happiest curled up nearby or following his favorite person around the house.<br/><br/>Rocky can be anxious in new situations and around unfamiliar people or dogs. He tends to bark when nervous, and he will need patience, structure, and time to adjust to a new environment. Because of this, he would do best with an adopter who understands anxious dogs and is willing to let him settle in at his own pace.<br/><br/>He is kennel trained and mostly house trained, though he has had occasional accidents during stressful periods or changes in routine. Rocky has lived with other dogs before, but he may thrive best as the only pet in a calm home where he can get plenty of one-on-one attention and companionship.<br/><br/>Rocky has shown some fearful and reactive behavior toward people and dogs in high-stimulation settings like dog parks, so a quieter lifestyle without crowded dog environments would likely help him feel more secure and successful.<br/><br/>Rockys Best Match<br/><br/>Calm, patient home<br/>Someone home often or able to spend lots of time with him<br/>No dog parks or chaotic environments<br/>Rocky does great with dogs his size!<br/>Experienced or understanding adopter preferred<br/><br/>Rocky isnt a perfect dog — hes a dog who needs understanding, consistency, and love. In the right home, he has the potential to become an incredibly devoted companion. <br/>HOW TO ADOPT FROM PAWS N HOOVES<br/><br/>What do we need to set up a meet and greet? This is an adoption application that you can link to right here. https://petstablished.com/adoption_form/11077/generic<br/><br/>An adoption volunteer will look it over to determine who you qualify for and what we need to get you qualified.<br/><br/>Once you meet the puppy or adult that you want to join your family, we will ask you to put a $100 non refundable hold deposit. This holds your puppy/dog while we get you approved. We will require 2 non relative (including fiance, significant other etc.) nor cohabitating references that can speak to your dog experience, proof of home ownership or a landlord letter with any exclusions and a physical home visit looking for safety issues and discussion of any advance questions. We get personal because we want the very best for these survivors, and we're sure that you do too. You may not qualify for all dogs or any dogs. Please speak to a PNH volunteer if you arent sure if you will qualify. 719-500-1880<br/><br/>Once you are approved, we get you set up with your adoption date. Adoptions are online through Dropbox sign and phone or video if you have questions. This is legally binding, so you will want to make sure you have your questions answered before signing. We then finalize you as the i adopter in our Petstablished system, which gives you access to all records, coupons, and literature.<br/>We ask for the additional adoption fee, which varies on age. Then you go get your puppy from the fosters home (this is planned in advance) Additional $400 for puppies under 1 Additional $350 for adults between 1-6 $ Additional $200 for seniors 6+ $250 for behavior challenged dogs needing extensive training, $250 per dog for bonded pairs (total of $500)We will let you know which dogs qualify for which adoption fee. <br/><br/>After adoption, you are required to attend obedience classes with your new puppy at a facility that provides positive only, reward based training. This is at your expense with completion expected in the first 3 months. Adult dogs can receive obedience or behavior training, depending on need. This is at your expense, but.......we refund $100 when you send the certificate of completion!!! ( if you believe fear or force based training methods are the way to go, we are not the right fit for you and will not approve an adoption) shock collars including underground fencing, prong collars, leash whips, etc are all very counter intuitive when asking your new best friend to be the goodest boy or girl possible. Ask us how you can learn more about positive only training. Pawhoofcolorado@gmail.com
