My story

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

Rocky boy is a charming, playful, perfect sized 2-year-old Shepherd who quickly became a volunteer favorite at his previous shelter! This lovable guy has a passion for playtime, especially when it comes to playing with his toys or a game of fetch. In fact, he is a fetch master and will go for as long as you're willing to throw the ball! To cool off and take a break, Rocky Boy loves to splash around in the baby pool.

If you're looking for an activity partner, Rocky Boy could be your guy! He loves going for walks and sniffing all the good sniffs. He walks well on his leash and keeps a great pace. After some good exercise, Rocky boy loves to rub up against his humans for some pets and snuggles. He is also very food motivated, taking his treats incredibly gently from his friends. He already knows sit and is eager to learn more tricks!

If you're looking for a lovable and loyal companion who will bring lots of happiness and excitement into your life, Rocky Boy may be your new best friend!
