My story

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


Meet Roky – Future Best Friend in Training

Roky is an energetic, affectionate young pup who came in with two other dogs and has already graduated from the shelter’s Shy Dog Program. He’s a smart boy who knows sit and takes treats gently, but like many puppies, he’s still learning his manners and can be a little jumpy at first. With a few minutes to settle, Roky calms down beautifully and is ready for pets, snuggles, and lots of puppy kisses. He is very treat motivated and eager to learn, walking well on leash after some exercise and enjoying his time exploring. Roky is friendly with people and leans in for affection, showing his gentle, loving side once he has a chance to warm up.

Coming in with two other dogs, Roky is social and curious about his furry friends, but he’s also learning how to focus and follow guidance. He’s looking for a patient, active home that will continue his training and enjoy the playful, loving companion he’s becoming. With guidance, Roky is sure to grow into a loyal, well-mannered best friend.
