Check out our sister brand, Kinship, for vet chat, a nutrition calculator, basic obedience training, and (much) more. So you're never flying solo in this pet parenting thing.
While in the office Rocky appears to be a bundle of energy (he hates sitting in a kennel by himself for extended periods of time) but after an hour playing in a fenced yard twice daily you'll have the most affectionate companion. He loves to sit by his human, play (including fetch) and walks or runs.
He loves rubber balls, chew toys (your shoes are safe) and is food motivated. Rocky is a very sweet dog who isn't a barker. He can be stubborn but that is trait that comes along with the breed. He does love to cuddle and give kisses. Put a box with all his toys out and he will play with them all. He doesn't like the crate and would love to sleep with/near his humans but could be crate trained with proper daily exercise.
Rocky would be a great best friend for someone with a fenced in yard to get all that puppy energy out, better yet he'd love a similar-sized dog to play with. A home with lots of chew toys and maybe a bone to keep him busy would be wonderful. Previous fosters have said he's fine being left home alone, but would also be a companion for someone that works from home.
He may need additional training, depending on the foster/adopter, in order to work on manners, basic commands and crate training. Everyone who meets Rocky immediately falls in love with him. He currently has two human friends. One of his human friends lets him use their yard and pays for doggy day camp (where he's getting straight A's). He sleeps quite a bit after eight hours of running around at camp.
His other human friend drives him to day camp and takes him on extended field trips on his days off from camp. Two to three days of camp each week drains much of his energy and his friends are willing to help a foster/adopter by continuing to pay for day camp a few days per week for a period of time while he adjusts to a new home.
He is good with older children. He does like to jump up on you but that can be easily mended with training. Training sessions will be a part of his adoption contract so his new owners have a good foundation. He's very smart and has learned to sit and we're currently working on shake.
Rocky has been in a home with cats, he loves to play with them but also respects their protest when they don't want to play. If your cat doesn't want active play, we'd not recommend Rocky as he sees the cat as his playmate.
The right owner will find a fast best friend, he's got a lot of people rooting for him because it's time for him to find his forever home.

More about this rescue
The Bond Between is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that focuses on the bond between humans and animals. We were founded in 2009 as Secondhand Hounds. Since then, we have rescued over 29,000 dogs and cats with the help of thousands of fosters, volunteers, and supporters in our community. Our organization has grown from a rescue to a first-in-its-class animal wellbeing organization... now The Bond Between! We continue to provide safe shelter, proper veterinary care, and daily necessities for animals while working hard to help them build a bond with humans. We also focus on supporting the bonds that already exist between people and pets with our pet food shelf, respite foster care program, and focus on social services.
We wake up every morning saying YES to connecting people and animals, caring for them, and helping them fill each other’s hearts.
You can help support us today by donating, fostering, volunteering, or sharing The Bond Between.
