Story
I'm just a puppy! I'm still learning about the world and I'm ready to do that with a new family. I may be new to this 'family dog' stuff, but I've mastered the most important thing: being cute.My foster knows me better than anyone! Here's what they had to say about me during my time with them:Rocky is a thinker, an observer, very active though a bit more laid back. He is ready to meet his forever family and explore the big world. He is a snuggler when he gets tired and is ready to take a nap. He entertains himself with toys, playing tug of war and he stocks (herding instinct) his littermates. He is teething so have natural puppy chews and toys readily available as pacifiers. He gets along with the foster volunteer's two female dogs. Puppy training is recommended. Primary Color: White Secondary Color: Brown Weight: 8.6 Age: 0yrs 0mths 8wks
