My story

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

Rocky is a one-year-old bundle of energy with a mischievous streak. This playful pup is great with kids and other dogs, but let`s just say, he`s not a fan of poultry. (He`s got a bit of a chicken problem, if you will.)
Despite his past as a failed farmhand, Rocky is eager to learn and grow. He loves going on walks, chasing balls (but not necessarily bringing them back...also sheep), and giving lots of sloppy kisses. However, he`s also a bit of a Houdini, so a secure fence is a must.
If you`re looking for a furry friend who`s full of personality and loves to have fun, Rocky might be the perfect match. Just be sure to keep him away from the chicken coop!
