Story
Rocky is approximately 5 years old, and was adopted from a shelter 4 years ago. He's a very loving and well behaved dog, loves every person he meets, is great with kids, and very playful with other dogs. He loves to play tug, fetch, etc - but most of all he loves affection from humans. He's got a lot of energy, and would love a home in which he gets lots of exercise, ideally long walks and a big yard to run around in. The only issue for our family has been his energy, causing him not to get along with everyone in the house to the point where we unfortunately need to re-home.

Story
I was adopted at 3mo to grow up with an infant and I was patient with him. While I wasn’t trained, I slept in a crate and behaved well with guests. I love people! I pottied on pads or went outdoors. When my human child started dropping food, I’d rush to eat it off the ground. A year later, we moved into a home with more people. I peed in the house and then I wasn’t trusted to be indoors anymore. I was in the yard most of the day and slept indoors in a crate at night. I eventually started growling when I was unhappy about staying outside all alone, needing to be crated while the other dog roamed free, when I wanted affection, or to play. Because of this, my family couldn’t trust me. I’m now 2.5 human years old. My auntie took me in to help break bad habits so that I can hopefully find another home. I love walks, training, and cuddles. Food and physical affection motivates me. I play well with other dogs when I get used to them. I’m looking for an experienced and dedicated owner.
