Foster notes, 4/17/24: Rocky is a sweet, loving, and very simple dog. He is the most happy when he is just hanging out with his family, getting lots of belly rubs, and going on walks. He doesn’t know how to play with toys but we are working on that! He is house trained and knows the command sit. He walks extremely well on the leash. He never barks and he is well-behaved when left alone. We typically take him out on the leash to go to the bathroom 3-4 times a day and that has worked perfectly for him. He does not like to be locked in his crate but he does sleep in his crate when we are not home and during the night. Rocky does have a little separation anxiety. He is a little hesitant around other dogs and tends to assert his alpha status. His typical mannerism is to sit and stare at the other dogs for long periods of time, or move in front of us and quietly growl to “protect” us. Although we have had no major aggression issues, we can obviously tell he would like to be the only dog in the household. We are working on limiting this behavior though! Rocky has become my best friend in the last two weeks and I really hope we can find him his forever home because he deserves it!!
