Rocky

Rocky was found living in a small cave in the mountains fending for himself. We aren't sure how long he had been living on his own, but he definitely has not had a good start in life.

Rocky was absolutely terrified when we pulled him out of that cave but he is starting to come around slowly, and he seems to prefer men to women. We do not want him to go to a home with young children. He needs a quiet home with someone who has patience to work with him and help him overcome his fears. A friendly canine companion might help him adjust.

Rocky has been going out to potty and has not had any accidents in the house. He is very calm and will usually just lay in a corner; he will sit next to you and does seem to like to be petted. He loves playing with other dogs and that is when his personality really comes out! He is learning to play with toys as well.

He is very quiet unless someone comes to the house after dark and then he will bark to alarm us. He is crate trained and will sometimes run to his crate to hide if he feels threatened.

He is a sad little guy who has not had much of a life thus far and he doesn't yet know how good life can be. If you can give Rocky the loving, patient home he needs, you will be repaid with years of love and devotion. If you would like to meet Rocky please email Mary at corvetteluver01@yahoo.com
