Rocky

*Due to rescuer being very ill, all her dogs are in desperate need!!!
Rocky is a large, 9 year old, male German shepherd mix. (95 lbs). Don't plan on having any bad days with this guy around. When he can tell that you're feeling down, he spins around in circles to get your attention! He is one of the most happy go lucky fellas we've had the pleasure of meeting.
Food driven would be an understatement about this guy, as he loves to learn new tricks and be rewarded almost as much as he loves tennis balls. Often, he will carry one around in his mouth and sometimes lets his tongue hang out at the same time! Rocky has a high prey drive and cats are definitely a no go, while it is admittedly funny to watch him slowly stalk toys and other things he mistakes for cats.
All Rocky wants in life is belly scratches and to finally get out of shelter and foster life, once and for all. He would feel most comfortable around older kids that can understand that after years of feeling like he has to protect his belongings, it may be a tough adjustment to finally not have to do so anymore.
Rocky thinks that there is nothing better than peanut butter!!! Well, maybe YOU!
