My name is Rocky!

We rescued Rocky from our local animal shelter at the end of 2018. According to the shelter, he was estimated to be about 6 months old at the time. Our Sons were 4 and 2 years old then, and Rocky was great with them. He has a lot of energy and loves to run around our fenced in backyard and chase squirrels and capture lizards. Rocky’s biggest “issue” is that he is very protective of his immediate family, and will display aggressive behaviors to strangers that get too close. However, whenever we have to leave our home for an extended period of time, we have Rocky boarded. He always gets a great report about how sweet he is, and how he loves running around with the other dogs. He does well with the vet too! We have made multiple attempts to acclimate him to others around the neighborhood, but we feel that he is just too protective of us. We really just want to rehome Rocky to a new family in hopes that he can start fresh, and share his sweet side with everyone, rather than being sheltered
