-ESTIMATE WEIGHT FULL GROWN: 40 lbs
-ESTIMATED AGE: 6 months as of May 29th
-KNOWN WITH DOGS: Rockie is doing great with the three resident dogs in his foster home and is learning quickly from them. He’s also been a wonderful foster brother to younger puppies. He’s still a young pup with lots to learn, but would do well joining a pack.
-KNOWN WITH CATS: Initially curious, but Rockie quickly learned that cats are not to be messed with.
-KNOWN WITH KIDS: Rockie is social and playful, though he can still be mouthy when excited, as many adolescent puppies are. A home with kids 8+ would likely be the best fit.
-KNOWN CUES: Learning quickly and eager to please. He knows "sit", "crate", "come".
-KNOWN HOUSEBREAKING AND/OR CRATING: House trained, crate trained, and uses the doggy door like a pro.
-KNOWN LIKES: Chew toys, squeaky toys, toss toys — Rockie loves them all.
-KNOWN DISLIKES: Really loud noises, but that's typical for most dogs.
Notes from the foster: Meet Rockie — equal parts explorer, entertainer, and lovable puppy. 🐾
Rockie is curious, playful, and full of personality. He loves investigating anything new and isn’t shy about sharing his thoughts with an adorable hound howl. Like many puppies his age, he’s currently in the teething stage, so toys and appropriate chew outlets are a must.
He has settled beautifully into foster care and enjoys learning from the older resident dogs in the home. Rockie would thrive in an active family that can continue helping him learn, explore, and burn off his happy puppy energy. Another playful dog in the home would be a bonus.
The good news:
✔️ Crate trained
✔️ Learning potty training and using the doggy door
✔️ Smart, social, and eager to learn
Rockie is looking for a family ready for all the fun, adventure, and laughter that comes with puppyhood.
