About Rocky

Adoption Fee: $250
Pit Bull mix
Age: Young Adult
Sex: Male

If the rescue were a school, Rocky would be the class clown. That one kid who is always screwing around and getting himself in trouble for it! But he keeps us laughing and entertained here at the rescue, he is definitely a stand-out personality. He can be vocal and will 'woo-woo' to get your attention if he wants something. And if you're holding his favorite ball his 'woo's' turn to beligerant barks until you throw it! Rocky is everything a pit bull is supposed to be, just in a pint-sized pit bull body. He is insanely intelligent and super-focused when training....you could get this dog to do anything with very minimal effort. Energetic, affectionate with his people, a seriously relentless ball player, and attacker of sprinklers and hoses. Rocky is dog friendly, but can get a little too over-stimulated for some dogs so he needs to be monitored during play. He is fine around cats, but again...cats never appreciate his enthusiastic and pit-bull tenacious play so he needs to be watched. Rocky is very friendly to everyone, but other animals take offense to his invasive and rough horseplay. He can also be a resource guarder with other animals, never people though. He loves all humans he meets but he is a bit too much for young and small children. Screaming and running from small kids makes him a bit anxious. Rocky does very well in the home, house-trained well and crate trained. He actually likes his crate.....it is his 'safe place' for him to take a time-out when stressed or over-stimulated. But he would prefer to be on the back of the couch or curled up in bed with his person. He has his quirks but once you get used to his style he is just a lot of fun! He could probably use a little more training on self-control but he listens so well to his people. He will need an active family though to keep his mind and body working. Our Rocky is just an amazing character! With a lot of love and an active lifestyle, this little kid will keep any family entertained every day!
