Rocky arrived at his foster home yesterday and he is a love bug.  He needs a bit of work on leash walking.  He is not a fan of the crate, so we will be working with him on re-introducing the crate over the next few weeks.  He has already shown signs of being protective of the yard and want to chase any little critter he smells or sees, so we will be working with him on that as well.  Over all he is a great dog and is settling in nicely.  Please check back soon for more updates as we get to know this handsome boy.

Meet Rocky! Rocky’s story is very sad for a two year old boy.  Rocky is coming into the program from his fourth owner.  His current owner was not expecting to get another dog as they currently have two and their daughter brought him home one day.  He does not get along with their resident male lab, so it is causing a little bit of tension in the home.  Rocky gets along great with their resident female Boxer and he appears to be a great dog that just needs the right owner to work with him.  He will need a strong leader that will take the time to work with him, train him and give him the proper exercise, limitation and boundaries a Boxer needs. We do not know much of his past, but are told he is showing   signs of “protectiveness” in his current home when strangers come to the house, so that will need to be worked on in his new home, with proper boundaries and introductions.  Rocky also has a very high prey drive, so we will not be placing him in a home with little animals or cats.  We know he has lived with a 16 year old child in one of his home, so older children would be fine with Rocky.  Please check back soon as we secure a foster home for this handsome boy.
