My story

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


Rescued from LifeLine, Fulton County Animal Services in June of 2024. Listed as a Pit Bull mix with estimated age of 6-9 months but after seeing his behaviors at home, I put closer to the 6 month age, at adoption. I was looking for a companion for my English Bulldog and they get along well but Rocky is just too active for him and when my bulldog has had enough, he has to find a place to hide but by then he is panting and overheated.

He is very lovable and affectionate, is crate trained and house trained, for the most part, and good with other dogs, after proper introductions.

He is high energy and I think he would do best in an active home with older children as he tends to throw his body around when playing. He would also do best with a family with a regular home/work schedule as I work overnight 12-hour shifts, 3-4 days a week, which leaves him crated for long periods and he explodes with that pent-up energy once let out.
