About Rocky

Boxer mix
Age: Young Adult
Sex: Male

Rocky Needs Someone that Understands Him! This handome dog is Rocky. He is about 2 years old and weights approx 70 pounds. Rocky is a very sweet dog when at home with humans. He seems to really love people. He gets super excited when anyone comes home or comes over and does a full body tail wag and tries hard not to jump on them, but sometimes fails. Rocky loves to play tug, chase, hide and seek, flirt pole, and to snuggle on the couch. He does not object to having food or toys taken from him. He knows and generally obeys the commands sit, down, stay, paw, here and drop and he never begs for food. He is very food motivated and likes cheese, peanut butter and plain yogurt. He gives puppy kisses and he loves a good butt scratch. Unfortunately Rocky's family wants to get rid of him because he doesn't not get along with other dogs. And although he walks fairly well on a leash, he is very reactive to other dogs even at far away distances. The family worked with a trainer and it was reported he did very well with them, but they have not been able to transport his progress to their home environment. Rocky has never shown aggression towards the humans he lives with or towards any guests that have come to visit. But, he did bite handlers when he was boarded (he did not break skin) when they were trying to get him into the crate, Rocky sleeps in his dog bed and he gets a dental treat before bed. He generally cuddles on the couch with of of the humans (youngest is 13) when they watch tv. Rocky is good in the car unless he sees another do and he is not a fan of baths, nail clippings, thunder, or being left alone (without any humans) for too long. Rocky is hoping to find a home where he is the only dog and find an owner that understands that he is reactive to other dogs. There is not much time left to find him a home, because his owner wants him to leave their home asap. We fear for the worst for Rocky if a furever home is not found for him very soon. If you have a furever home for this pet, please e-mail Furever Home Dog Rescue at [email protected] and request an adoption application. The breed and age of this pet is listed as is our best guess. We have no background info on who the mom and dad are. Please note we do not adopt puppies/dogs to homes where they will be left alone all day. We do not have a shelter facility you can visit. Our volunteers foster the dogs and pups in their homes once they have been vetted and transported here to NJ. Please read our homepage www.fhdr.petfinder.com to read how the adoption process works. And, please visit Furever Home Dog Rescue's homepage www.FureverHomeDogRescue.com to see some of our many reviews. Thank you!
