A few days out of the shelter gave Rocky the chance to show who he really is in a home setting, and he did great. He appeared to be housebroken with no accidents at all. He figured out the routine quickly and even let his foster know exactly what he needed by circling or sitting by the door when it was time to go outside, and by parking himself near the food bowl when he was ready to eat. What a gentleman!
Rocky loved getting out and about. Walks were a hit, though he does pull a bit on leash, and car rides were a favorite. He especially enjoyed pup cups and will make little grunty noises if the car windows are up.
Inside the home, Rocky was respectful and easygoing. He did not get on furniture unless invited and mostly chose to sleep on a mattress on the floor. He enjoyed playing with stuffed toys and settled in nicely. He knows sit and stay, did well with a 13 year old child, and had zero reservations about meeting new people. Friends were made instantly. There was a resident cat in the home who was kept separate, but Rocky was curious and interested when sniffing at the door. Overall, he handled the experience pretty well and did not obsess with finding the cat afterwards.
Rocky had an amazing time on his sleepover, and it gave us a glimpse of just how great he could be as a full time family dog. Now we are hoping his next step is the best one yet. Adoption.
If you`d like to meet Rocky, please stop by to meet him!
Rocky is guesstimated to be 6 years old and weighs 60 lbs. All dogs adopted from Huntsville Animal Services are spayed/ neutered, microchipped, dewormed, appropriately vaccinated, and receive a topical 90-day flea/ tick preventative.
Ready to meet Rocky? All you have to do is stop by our shelter at 4950 Triana Blvd and head to our dog areas. You can find him in kennel D49. All adopters must be 19 years or older with a valid ID

If you are interested in adopting an animal: 1) Write down the Animal ID # . 2) Make sure to mention Animal ID # when visiting or calling. 3) Remember all adoptions stop 30 minutes prior to closing time. 3) You will not be allowed to place a hold on the animal. 4) It cannot be shipped to you. 5) Before adopting it, you can spend time with the animal outside or in a "meet and greet" room. Please ask for assistance. 6) We take cash, checks, debit cards, VISA and Mastercard as a method of payment. **IMPORTANT: Huntsville Animal Services cannot guarantee that any animal will still be available for adoption as we do not hold animals for anyone under any circumstances. Animals are adopted on a first come, first serve basis. You may want to call and ask if one is still available prior to visiting the shelter. When you adopt a pet, it will stay at the shelter and be taken to the veterinarian of your choice where it will be spayed or neutered before going to its new home. If it is already spayed or neutered, it can go home with you upon adoption. My adoption cost is very affordable and includes my adoption fee, spay/neuter, vaccinations, deworming, license (if you live within Huntsville city limits), and microchip.
ADOPTION FEES
Cats seven months and older are currently $35 that includes spay or neuter surgery, rabies vaccination, microchip, city license tag if applicable, feline AIDS/LEUKEMIA test, and may also include other basic vaccinations when applicable. Kittens six months and younger are $50.
Dogs seven months and older are currently $35 and includes spay or neuter surgery, rabies vaccination, microchip, city license tag if applicable, canine heart worm test over six months of age, and may also include other basic vaccinations when applicable. Puppie six months and younger are $50. Prices are subject to change.
LICENSE FEES
$35 - Lifetime license not included in the adoption fee
Fees change if the animal comes into the shelter with proof of current rabies vaccination, current city license, and/or proof of spay/neuter. If the animal has been spayed or neutered there is no spay/neuter fee.
Adopting parties must have proof of identification. They must be 19 years of age or older. They must not be intoxicated. The adoption process takes approximately 30 minutes for the paperwork.

If you desire to give the gift of a new pet, bring that person with you and allow them to pick out their new family member.
