My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Rocky Roll, or as we call him, the Rock, or Rocky baby. He is the absolute sweetest dog you will ever meet. Fully housetrained and crate trained and he even does tricks! Ask him to sit, shake, speak, heal, stay or hop like a bunny (no I'm not kidding). Yes he's got a little extra to love, but don't we all? And since being in foster with 3 walks a day he's already been working on that waistline!

It's very obvious Rocky came from a loving home prior to his shelter experience and he's great with kiddos. He won't even try to eat your food or your kids toys! He loves getting his butt scratched! He does seem to react to passing dogs, unsure yet if he wants to play with them or have words...he's spent his life prior with another dog, so it may be the former, but we just aren't sure yet! He would definitely need to meet any possible doggie siblings in advance of a possible adoption.

If you are looking to add a poised gentleman with a sweet personality to your family, look no further than Mr. Rocky Roll!
