A WONDERFUL LITTLE GUY: Approx. 4 years old / Approx. 9 lbs.
Hi, I’m Rockey! I had a home from puppyhood, but now my family travels too much with their job and can no longer care for me. Thankfully, Mostly Mutts was able to take me into their program and help me find a new home. I’m in a great foster home while I wait!
• OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: My former family reported that I liked some dogs. I was unsure about the dogs in my foster home when I arrived (one is my size and one about 5 lbs. larger) so we have mostly been kept separate. I did figure out how to get out of the room which is my dad’s office when he stepped away and I was discovered walking around with the other dogs, so perhaps I just needed a little warm up time with them. I’ve just been neutered and am in my recovery period, so once I’m healed, we will meet again. If you have a dog at home already, let’s meet! My foster also says that they think I would be a good only dog. / Cats unknown. / I haven’t met kids yet at Mostly Mutts or in my foster home. My former family reported that I liked kids though I don’t recall their ages, so if you have kids let’s meet and best no toddlers that may fall on me as I’m small.
• PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: I’m reported to be a spunky little guy who loves a comfy dog bed, and lots of treats though I take them a little roughly, so my foster just drops them in my food bowl. In my foster home, I get to stay in my fosters work from home office while he works, and I usually happily sleep while he’s working – so I’d just love a work from home or stay at home family member! In my former home, I was alone 6+ hours a day and I didn’t love that, so I was a little barky. I’d love a work-from-home or stay-at-home family member to hang out with. I’m a great little guy with a good personality who also rides well in the car, so you can take me places with you. / My former owner reported that I had a high energy level – though they were gone a good part of the day. I also had a higher energy level at the Mostly Mutts shelter. Now that I’m in a foster home where my dad works from home, he reports that my energy level is lower at a 3-5 since I can spend time during the day with my person.
• SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: My former owner reported that I know the ‘sit’ command and my foster says that I walk well on my leash. I’m sure you can teach me lots more! / In my foster home I do well in my crate at nighttime though I don’t go in it myself, but my foster puts me in it and I sleep well there at bedtime. My former family also reported that I was crate trained. / My former family reported that I was potty trained and I’m doing well in my foster home though I’ve marked a couple of times since I was just neutered and there are other dogs in the home.
• LIKES/DISLIKES: I really love being around people and will make a great lap dog. I also love dog beds, and I’m a good drinker and eater and I love to lean into my fosters to get lots of petting. I enjoy both playing and taking naps and I enjoy going outside to play fetch and running around to explore as well. / I can’t think of any dislikes but I’m sure I wouldn’t like it if I didn’t get enough love, attention, exercise, and training.
• MEDICAL: I'm current on vaccinations, micro-chipped and neutered. I have moderate tartar on my teeth, so my adoptive family should consult with their vet and consider a dental cleaning in the future.
I’m a super sweet and fun little guy looking for a great family to love and be loved by! My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.
