My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

***URGENT, FOSTER HOME NEEDED***

We have been asked to help a beautiful 5 year old male Akita named Rocky.

Rocky had a rough start in life as he lived his entire life as an outdoor dog. Just like any dog left alone outside without supervision, their instincts kick in and he unfortunately cannot be adopted into a home with cats or small dogs/pets due to his high prey drive. Rocky does do great with medium to large size dogs. He did fantastic during the shelters assessments and has no medical concerns. Rocky will be fully vetted when the time comes for him to be pulled out of the shelter into a home environment.

No dog should be forced to live outdoors, all should have the chance to be in a warm and loving home with a family to call their own. Please help us give Rocky that second chance.

If you feel you could give Rocky a second chance, please contact us at anmlresq@hotmail.com or fill out a foster application found on our website.
