Meet Rocky, the 2 year young Shepherd who is a sensitive soul looking for a patient partner to help him conquer the big, wide world! While he can be a bit of a worried boy at first—sometimes needing a gentle pep talk and plenty of tasty treats to feel brave—he has a beautiful heart that completely melts once trust is built. Rocky is a total champion with squeaky toys, which are his absolute favorite thing in the universe; once he gets one, he loves to playfully fling it high up into the air, which instantly brings out his goofy, joyful puppy side! He will happily lean right into your legs for comfort and head scratches once he knows you’re his person. Because he's a strong boy who is still working on his leash walking confidence and can be a little sensitive to loud noises, he’s looking for an understanding home with teenagers who will love teaching him basic cues and watching his beautiful, adoring eyes light up as his confidence grows.
