About this Dog
Meet Rocky, a laid-back, big-hearted guy who's looking for the perfect companion. Rocky thrives in a calm, quiet home, ideally with an individual or couple who can offer him the peace he craves. While he's tolerant of kids, he prefers to snuggle only with his bonded person. True to his cattle dog nature, Rocky is protective of his territory and takes his time warming up to newcomers. But with a few tasty treats, heâs quick to make new friends! Out in public, like at Lowes or the park, heâs friendly and allows people to pet him.Heâs an easy-going guy who enjoys nice walks or short hikes and does well on a leash. However, heâs not a fan of other dogs and would prefer to be the only pup in the home. Rocky is food-driven, so with patience and training, he can overcome his dog-on-dog challenges.Rocky is fully house-trained, and heâll always let you know when it's time to go potty. He can be left home alone for long periods and is perfectly well-behavedâno chewing, no accidents. Heâs also pretty good at following basic commands: sit, down, stay, and come. He doesnât jump up on guests or try to dash out the door when it opens.While he can tolerate cats, small animals like squirrels arenât his thing, and he wonât chase them. He enjoys playing tug-of-war and carrying around his stuffies (though he doesnât chew them up!). Rocky also loves to bury bones and toys that heâs particularly fond of.He has a sensitivity to certain ingredients like corn, wheat, and soy, so he requires allergy-friendly food. Heâs also afraid of thunderstorms, so a little extra care during storms will go a long way.Though Rocky hasnât been crate trained, he seems to like the idea of having his own space. With his thick fur, he does require regular brushing, but professional grooming isnât necessary. He's not a fan of water or swimming, but he doesnât bark excessivelyâjust enough to alert when somethingâs up.If youâre ready for a loyal companion who thrives on a peaceful, loving environment, Rocky could be your guy!
Contribute to ROCKY's Stash!
100% of ROCKY's balance will be sent to whoever adopts ROCKY.
Adopt ROCKY and Receive ROCKY's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, ROCKY's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is ROCKY's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the ROCKY, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming ROCKY's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and ROCKY was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, ROCKY’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the ROCKY’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, ROCKY’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
