About Rocky

Adoption Fee: $100
American Staffordshire Terrier / Pit Bull
Age: Young Adult
Sex: Male

Rocky is an adult dog who has had a very rough life. He needs structure and a loving home that he can call his own. Rocky is approximately 3 years old, just under 45lbs, neutered, microchipped, heartworm negative, and up to date on his vaccinations. Rocky has lived with both cats and dogs; however, he would do best as the only dog in the household. He is very loyal and wants to have your full attention so it's better for him to go to a home where someone is always there for him. He doesn't do well with holding his bladder for extended periods of time, so he is not fully crate or house trained. When on a schedule, he does not have any problems at all and is perfectly fine throughout the night. Currently he never has accidents inside but has had very few ones in the past. Otherwise it's only when he's alone and in his crate unfortunately. He could also use more training on a leash. Besides that, he is such an absolute sweetheart. He loves car rides and will stay quiet the entire time; you'll forget he's even there! He loves to chew on bones and play fetch outside. He wants and loves to be near you and sleep with you as well. Rocky was found a year ago eating trash on the streets, he weighed 13lbs and had such intense internal parasites as well as bacterial infections. None of us were sure if he would pull through and hundreds of dollars were spent on vet care. Rocky had no sense of love in his life and was terrified of everything, including walking through doors. You could tell that he never lived in a proper home - he even would refuse to go on grass to pee which is where his house/crate training issues probably come in to play. This boy has gone through a lot in his life and needs all the love. His little quirks are one of the best things about him though - his tail goes nonstop, and he wags it so hard his entire butt wiggles! Please email Summer at [email protected] if you are interested in giving him a great life. There will be a rehoming fee as well as home/vet checks to ensure his safety.
