My story

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

Quiet Strength, Smart Mind

Roki is a 4-year-old black and brown male who looks like a German Shepherd and is still settling into big changes. He arrived feeling overwhelmed, which is understandable for a dog new to the shelter environment, and he’s already showing signs of improvement as he adjusts.

Information shared with us from his previous shelter paints a hopeful picture of who Roki is once he’s had a moment to breathe. He was described as easy to leash and comfortable heading out for walks, where he enjoyed taking in smells and soaking up gentle booty scratches. He was noted to be very sweet, friendly, and polite with people he encountered along the way.

Roki appears to be a smart boy who enjoys treats, sits nicely for them, and knows the cue “down.” After walks, he reportedly walked calmly back into his kennel and was easy to unclip, showing good manners and cooperation.

As Roki continues to decompress, he’s looking for a foster or adopter who will give him patience, routine, and kindness. With a little time and understanding, this thoughtful, people-friendly dog has the potential to truly shine.
