Well Hello, you don’t have to drool! I know I’m a good looking boy. My name is Rocky, and you are checking out my profile so I guess I can tell you a little bit about myself. I am 7 years young and strong in stature and personality. I am a lover not a fighter, but I sure am ripped like one. I weigh in at a perfect 47 pounds. I have been a little bit under the weather lately, but don’t you worry about that. As soon as I am full strength I will be getting neutered, but I am already housetrained so don’t even worry about that. I am up to date on all my shots, heartworm free, and will come with a microchip.
I was swept out of my home pretty quickly, but Im a strong boy, and nothing is going to keep me from loving my new family. I am currently with my foster parents after being at my first home for 7 years. My dad went to prison and my mom decided she wanted to keep my sister, so she dropped me off at a shelter. I never got much medical attention, but CEBR took me in and I couldn’t be happier to be getting the love and care that I deserve.
My foster mom could not be more in love with me. She says that my coloring is perfect and that I am a real “stud”. She gives me a whole lot of attention, and I love it! I really like snuggling up on the couch with my foster parents, but I can also appreciate some time to myself to snuggle up in my favorite blanket. When I came to my foster home, I had really bad dry eye, and there was gook all over them. My foster mom gives me drops and gel twice a day, and now the whole world can see my beautiful brown eyes.
My foster dad takes me on lots of walks and so far I have only had one accident in the house. They are really proud of me. He says that I walk with a “swagger”, and its true, I have a little bit of a waddle from stiff joints in my front legs. I don’t like to walk far, but I get around just fine. I can even make it up the 22 stairs to get into my foster home! But, I try to limit that to once a day. I figure I’m light, so why not make them carry me once in a while. Oh, and you know what really makes me want to do just about anything. Food! Show me a treat and I am yours!
When I first came to CEBR, the people at the shelter said that I “charged at another dog”. That might have had something to do with the fact that I was sick, had fleas, and was out of my house for the first time in 7 years. I have been nothing but nice to other dogs and people since I have been with my foster parents. I really don’t like getting eye drops put in, but who does! Sometimes I wiggle and squirm, but Im a bulldog and that’s what we do. My foster family calls me the boss, because I love being the main attraction. I’ll give you really sad eyes if you tell me to go lie down, but I’ll do it. I’m just a ham. Other than that, my foster parents think I am really well behaved, and I would have to agree.
I am really looking forward to finding my forever home to relax in! My perfect home would include a family that had a lot of time to spend with me. I need my eye drops and gel twice a day and someone to give me my joint supplement! I really don’t like the stairs too much, but a couple of them is not a deal breaker. My perfect home would have its own yard so I can be my own boss, but I am fine on a leash too. All I really need is a lot of attention. I would prefer to not have kids around because I am getting a bit older and just want to relax.
Well, I have to be going, its time for a belly rub. I will be strutting around my foster home like a boss, dreaming of relaxing with you in my forever home. See you when I see you!
