Rocky's Story

Rocky is completely house trained and keeps a clean kennel here at the shelter. He does excellent with other dogs and is ok with the felines. Rocky does well for baths and car rides. Knows how to sit and takes treats nicely. No food or toy aggression. Rocky was adopted for several months but was returned due to him protecting his home. He doesn't like strangers coming into his yard or home and needs a proper introduction with new people outside of the house first, then inside of the home or even just put away in a different room completely. Rocky's ideal home would be one with a doggie playmate and someone who is dog savvy with larger breeds. With the right work he'd likely eventually do fine in a home. He was very loving towards the people that adopted him and he's had no problems meeting people here at the shelter. It's just once he gets into a home, he will become protective of the area and his people.<br/><br/><br/>ADOPTION FEE SPONSORED!
