Rocky's Story

I'm Rocky - a 36-pound Terrier mix with a sensitive heart and a gentle soul that's still learning the world can be a safe place. The shelter has been pretty overwhelming for me, and I can be very nervous and on edge when I first meet new people or find myself in unfamiliar situations. I like to take things slow while I figure everything out, quietly sniffing around and observing before deciding it's okay to relax. I'm not the kind of guy who rushes into new friendships, but if you give me a little patience, space, and understanding, you'll start to see my curiosity peek through. <br/><br/>Once I realize I can trust you, my whole personality starts to shine! I warm up into a playful, spunky boy who bows down with excitement and zooms around when happiness takes over. I absolutely love affection, and before long I'll lean into you, soak up your attention, and even roll over to ask for belly rubs once I feel safe. I bond deeply with my person and really look to them for comfort and reassurance, so I'm hoping for a calm, patient home that will give me time to decompress and allow slow introductions while I adjust. Beneath my shy beginnings is a very sweet, loving companion who just wants someone to help me feel safe enough to be my joyful, affectionate self every day.

Humane Society of The Black Hills's Adoption Policy
The adoption process may take up to one hour to complete but we’ll keep it as simple and streamlined as possible. Here are the steps when you’re considering adopting a pet: - Visit our website to see available animals or see them on-site during regular hours, seven days a week. - When you find a dog, cat or small animal you would like to spend more time with, simply call the Humane Society of the Black Hills at (605) 394-4170 for an appointment. - Occasionally, our team is able to accommodate walk-ins, but as we cannot guarantee them, it is best to call for an appointment. -During your scheduled appointment, an adoption advisor will review the animal's history with you and bring the animal to meet you for an initial visit. - A second appointment may be made for you for a variety of reasons (Ex. You have a dog at home you'd like to bring in to meet the pet next). -Once you have met a pet that you think is your perfect match and you have been approved to adopt, your adoption advisor will take you through the adoption process, and you can take your new family member home!
