Rocky arrived at the Bigbee Humane Society in Demopolis, AL when he was between 6 months to a year old. He is now between 3 and 4 years old. This poor boy has lived in a shelter practically all of his life. The shelter should be temporary and not a lifetime commitment so the Bigbee Humane Society reached out to us to see if we could help this incredibly sweet, friendly and playful boy.

Since we had one of our very experienced fosters step up to foster Rocky, we were able to take him in to SSRR. Since arriving at his foster home, he has not had one accident in his crate, pen or house. He walks wonderfully on a lead. He likes to check things but if you give him a stick or chew toy he will trade with you. Rocky loves to ride in a car and loves to be petted. When first let out, he is very energetic but calms down quickly.

Even though Rocky is 4 years old, he acts more like he’s 6 months old. Rocky missed being a puppy so he’s experiencing everything it means to be a puppy now. The great thing is that he tries very hard to please and should be fairly easy to train. He just needs time, patience and training.
