Story
LOOKING FOR LOVE & UNDERSTANDING. I was saved from euthanasia on the last day of my deadline. I had been picked up as a stray and labeled feral by the shelter. You see, I had never known kindness from humans, and I was terrified of EVERYTHING. I had NEVER received love, affection, or been part of a family. Fast forward to today: I am a 2-year old energetic guy who gets along well with dogs of all sizes, and I am looking for my own family! My foster family says that I have come a long way, but I will still need a family with a dog-sibling to help me continue to figure this all out. My foster family has integrated me into their family, but it is time for me to find my own furever home! I am kennel-trained and potty-trained and take treats ever so gently. I am learning to walk on a leash and appreciate the new sights and smells. I crave structure and am a creature of habit. My people will need to continue my acclimation into being a family pet with consistency and positive reinforcement while I continue to experience new things and events. I am still cautious with new people and have learned to observe from a distance until comfortable, and I'd appreciate patience as I navigate. Please give me a chance to be your loyal family member and feel safe with humans. I am current on my vaccines, microchipped, and neutered.

I am looking to find a new home for my black lab. He is very sweet and playful, but I am 9 months pregnant and haven't been able to give him the attention they deserve. He loves to play fetch, be outside and chase the kids around the backdoor.

~Tulip’s Confessions~ My name is Tulip and I have a confession, I’m insecure when I first meet people. I know I know, it’s really not a huge deal, but I just get nervous whenever I meet new people.  Who’s with me on this? ‍ I mean, I was sitting at Petco the other day when BAM a nice man comes up to my kennel and starts talking to me. Awesome right?  Well, it makes me insecure, because well it just does. I don’t know these people and I just like to get to know people before just telling them all about myself. I can’t help but get nervous with the nice people that want to get to know me, but I just need a little time. At my foster home, I am playful, cuddly,  potty trained, crate trained (in a plastic crate) and all in all, a joy to be around.  I can even take a fantabulous picture, right?!?!  So there ya go ladies and gentlemen. I’m Tulip and after I get past my insecurities of meeting new people, I’m one cool chick to be around.  I even do really good with the the teenager and dogs at my foster home too!   So now it’s time for my shameless question... do you or someone you know want to give me a little time to get to know you so we can be best friends?  I promise to work on my insecurities if you promise to give me a little time.  If you aren’t looking to add a family member, could you just SHARE my confessions with someone you know?  Thanks so much!   ~Tulip~   PS~Email info@rockwallpets.com if you would like to meet me or get more information.April 24, 2024, 4:19 pm

Hi, I'm Teddy! I'm a 2.5 year old good boy! I like to play and have fun! It can take me a second to warm up to new people but didn’t your mom teach you stranger danger too? I love to lay in my foster parents bed while they scratch by belly. That is definitely the spot! I'm neutered, microchipped, and current on my vaccines.

I'm Maggie, and I love watching sunsets and taking long walks in the neighborhood. Once I get to know you, I'll smile and show my pretty teeth for you when I'm excited. My favorite things are wrestling with my foster brother, playing chase outside, and feeling the wind in my fur on car rides! It takes me a few days to warm up to new people, but I love a good cuddle once we become friends. I'm potty-trained and enjoy sleeping in my crate as well. I am current on vaccines, microchipped, and spayed. Contact info@rockwallpets.com for more info or to arrange a meeting! April 24, 2024, 4:19 pm
