Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Rocky has been in THE RED DOG PROJECT prison rehabilitation program. That means fostering with inmate handlers and learning the basics of all around good behavior, potty training and interacting with other dogs.
Here is more information about me:
Rocky was adopted out from a local animal control to a family who he assumed loved him. Vacation time came 4 months later and his family thought it would be easier to drop him back at the shelter than find a caretaker. The shelter was full, so the family was going to bring him to the vet for euthanasia. All for a 3 day vacation. A rescue intercepted Rocky and he is grateful.
Rocky is a one year old boxer/plott hound mix and is pure friendly exuberance and joy. Rocky's last family had a big yard, so he wasn't walked frequently, so his leash manners needs some work. However, his pure joy at being and his desire to be with his humans and please them will make leash manners an easy feat.
GENERAL VETERINARY CARE:
I have been:
~ spayed/neutered
~ microchipped
~ dewormed
~ heatworm-tested negative if dog is of age to be tested ( 6 months or older)
~ up to date on all age appropriate shots
~ treated with a flea preventative
Rocky has been seen by a Connecticut veterinarian and all medical records will come with the adoption papers as well as notes from Rocky's dog handler.

ADOPTION PROCESS -
If you would like to begin the application process, please fill in the form at the link above and we will review your information, call your personal and well as vet references. PLEASE Fill in the application if you're interested in adoption. We hope you will understand the careful scrutiny of potential adopters is not only for the safety and well-being of the dog but also for a positive experience for your household. Thank you for saving the life of a shelter dog through adoption; you are truly a hero.
-- A letter from your vet on their letterhead will also be very helpful if they won't be open for us to call as a reference.
-- If you are renting, please note you must have a written letter of permission from your landlord to own a dog on their property.
-- If you have never owned a dog and therefore do not have a vet reference let us know right away and we'll try to do a home visit before the adoption. First time adopters need a quick home visit to make sure they are ready to take a dog home for the first time.
The Red Dog Project dogs will often visit area retailers for a Saturday or Sunday "debut", please email info@reddogproject.org if you would like to be on the mailing list for those events.
Thank you!
