Unfortunately, Rocky's life prior to being here at the centre was one in which he didn't get to enjoy many of the things that make life so exciting, and he has missed out on a lot of important socialisation because of this. He has, however, proven to be the biggest optimist, and really has embraced every new change here at the centre with open arms, even if he has found a few things a little scary. Rocky, very typically of bigger dogs, is a large lad who sometimes doesn't know his own strength and size, and doesn't always have the best etiquette when it comes to meeting people and dogs.

 

 

 

Are you the one?

Any potential adopters would need to be able to dedicate lots of time to helping him learn how and where to direct all of his energy, and would need to understand that although he does need a lot of physical exercise, it is also equally important that his brain is kept busy. Because he still does have a lot to learn, we would advise that Rocky lives in a home with children aged 12+ , where he can be receive all of attention he so rightfully needs and deserves, so that he can flourish into the wonderful companion we know he's more than capable of becoming. Rocky could potentially live with another dog, pending a successful introduction at our centre.
