ROCKY (THE BRINDLE) - PIT BULL TERRIER / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed (short coat). Looking for a sweet, devoted and ridiculously loving companion who has a zest for life? Meet Rocky – a wiggly, happy-go-lucky pup whose ready to bring nonstop fun into your life. Despite a rough start to life, this handsome guy is ready to leave the past behind and find his forever home filled with love and belly rubs. This 3-yr old adorable Boxer-Bully mix is full of personality – whether he’s exhuberantly greeting visitors, doing zoomies in the yard, chasing his ball, proudly strutting the neighborhood, plopping his 60 lb body onto your lap, watching every move you make in the kitchen or trying to sneak into your bed at night! He is smart, food motivated and eager to please which is a blessing for training. He knows basic obedience, loves the comfort of his crate, is housetrained and yes, he is a treadmill pro as well. Although Rocky does love a good workout, he does not need a lot of exercise and is sensitive to the warmer weather. Rocky is perfectly happy having a decent walk, then switching to his role as Professional Window Watcher – where he snoozes and lounges in front of the bay window to watch the world go by. He rarely barks at the many people and dogs walking by but if there is a squirrel to report, he is on it! He usually races to the door if he thinks by chance there may be a guest stopping by although often it’s just the mailman or an Amazon delivery person. Rocky gives Velcro Dog vibes – wherever you are is where he wants to be. He is a strong and sturdy boy who needs to be mindful around little ones and does love to chew, so watch those toys. This big-hearted pup is all about people and loves soaking up the attention and he needs to be the only pet in the home. No sharing the spotlight for him! Despite this, he enjoys pack walking and participating in training classes with other balanced and controlled pups – as long as he has his space. If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate and endlessly entertaining best friend, Rocky is your perfect match. He is a wonderful houseguest at his foster home and is very much loved.
