ROCKY's Story

Rocky is a sweet girl who is going to the need the support of her humans while she settles into her new home and works her weight loss plan. While she has no problem staying active, Rocky loves food and will need a responsible person to ensure she doesn't have too many snacks. OTHER PETS: Rocky may feel a little nervous around bigger dogs initially, often keeping her distance while she assesses the situation. However, with slow, positive introductions and a bit of patience, her playful and friendly nature shines through soon she's happily engaging in games and forming bonds. *This may not be the case with every dog as every dog is different* NO CATS NO SMALL DOGS [Likely (Must Meet First)] OWNER EXPERIENCE: Rocky is looking for a loving home where she can finally feel safe and secure. She thrives with patience and positive reinforcement, as well as emotional stability and a reliable routine as she blossoms. [First Dog] KIDS: Rocky should meet any children she’ll be living with to ensure a good match. She would do best with kids who understand how to respect a dog’s space and boundaries. Actively supervising dog-child interactions will keep everyone safe. [Case-By-Case (Must Meet First)] ACTIVITY LEVEL: Rocky is a playful and thrives with activity and interaction. She enjoys playing fetch, running around the yard, and engaging with her favorite toys. A combination of regular exercise and plenty of mental enrichment such as food puzzles and games will help meet her needs. [Good Walking Buddy] VETERINARY CARE: [Routine] GROOMING: [Minimal] LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Positive reinforcement is the most effective and humane way to strengthen the bond between you and your dog. By reinforcing behavior we like with high-value treats, (as well as praise and affection for solid skills), your dog will learn to associate those actions with pleasant outcomes and will be more likely to repeat them.
