Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Rocky / 1 yr 10 mo / Male / Mixed Breed / 29 kg / Rescued from Tennessee / Currently Fostered in Oshawa
Crate and House Trained / Good with older children (14+)
Meet Rocky: The ultimate cuddle champ with a heart of gold!
Rocky is a cuddly, fun and loving dog with a big personality and heart. His adorable facial expressions and goofy sleeping positions will have you in stitches. Whether it’s a walk, a sniffing game, or a frozen peanut butter Kong, Rocky loves fun activities and is eager to engage with his humans.
If you love cuddles and playtime, Rocky is your guy! Rocky craves human attention and loves being part of the family. While he spends most of the day lounging, his puppy energy and cheekiness tend to spike in the evening, requiring activities to keep him engaged. Rocky knows basic commands and is eager to learn, especially when treats are involved!
He does well meeting new people and quickly bonded with his foster family. While he loves attention, he can seek it in less desirable ways, such as mouthing or grabbing objects—especially during his evening zoomies. He has also shown reactive tendencies towards other dogs on walks. Since arriving at his foster home, Rocky has made great progress with training and positive reinforcement to keep him focused. Ongoing training will help Rocky refine his doggy etiquette.
Rocky would thrive with experienced owners who provide him with consistent training, mental enrichment, patience and plenty of affection. A home without small children is recommended, as his mouthing and jumping behaviours could be overwhelming. Given his playful nature, a house with a fenced backyard would be ideal.
Rocky Balboa once said, “Every champion was once a contender that refused to give up.” Rocky has the heart to go all the way with a family that will give him the chance and tools to succeed. Sounds like you? Apply for adoption: www.caninehaven.org/dog-application
