Story

This is Rocky, as we are learning more from his foster in TX. ? This boy was a must save when seeing him on the euthanasia list for space. He is just a pup at only 16 mos old and a gangly boy. He looks to me like he could have a little Great Dane in him but just a guess. Foster is getting a great start on this pup's new life. Some notes below from foster. Rocky: 16 mos old typical teenager pup. He has a high-pitched bark when he wants out of his kennel. Rocky is dog friendly. He is still learning that some dogs don't like another being in his face. He is puppy energy and would benefit from running or daily walks. Or, a friend to play with. He will chase balls but hasn't figured out fetch. He doesn't chew on inappropriate things. He will chew and rip apart stuffed toys. He is kid friendly! He loves the attention. He will go belly up for them. He doesn't react to kids running around or yelling when we are outside. I don't have kids, so I cannot speak for his behavior in a home with loud kids ? He was curious about the kids' skateboarding or riding scooters. He didn't bark or lunge at them. Rocky is funny. He doesn't know how to entertain himself much. I think it's pent-up energy. He is always happy. If he doesn't want to do something, he goes belly up and can be mouthy. He will also become a rolling polly. ? He knows sit, no bite, and leave it. He is so curious about my cats. He wants to sniff them. Because he is higher puppy energy & learning boundaries, he can be a bit much. He will sit, though. He never tries to hurt the cats. It's more like a small dog he wants to play with. Learning to be nice with kitties (no aggression; just wants to play)! With continued training, I am confident he could live with cats. Clean kennel club member. Crate trained. Potty trained. House trained. Not much counter surfing here. UTD on vaccines and preventative meds. Neutered. He will load up or unload from the car easily. He rides very well in the car, too.
