My story

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

Meet Rockwell, a goofy and affectionate gentle giant!

This sweet, happy boy loves being close to his humans and has a cute habit of leaning into your legs for pats. Despite his large size, Rockwell is just a big softy! He often shy's away from other dogs if he is nervous of them - he prefers to mind his own business with his humans in tow.

Rockwell walks fairly well on a leash and loves exploring the outdoors, though he can get a bit excited and pull when he finds something interesting. This handsome lad is still quite young and has a good amount of energy. Typical for his breed, he will need a home where he either has lots of land to roam or a guardian that will take him on long adventures where he can rule the trails.

We are unsure whether or not Rockwell is fully house-trained. His new guardians may have to work on his house manners with him, but no worries because he is a good listener that is easy to please! Rockwell may do well in a home with children that are comfortable and savvy with large dogs.

Please come into the shelter during visiting hours if you would like to meet me. You can also submit an application online if I am in foster or you would like to save some time when you come visit. While we do welcome online applications, in person meets have top priority.
