In the shelter’s words
Meet Rocky, an owner surrender to a shelter in SW VA. He came into his foster home full of unrestrained energy and was slow to trust. He has since learned to trust people, has proven to be smart as he quickly picked up on basic commands (sit, down, wait ) but is very headstrong and will need a strong experienced leader to continue to give him structure and boundaries. He was initially very mouthy when excited, and still has his moments but responds well to correction. He exhibits a very strong prey drive and is NOT cat friendly. We are working with him on how to initiate play with other dogs as he currently gets over excited and nips. Rocky is a diamond in the rough, he will need a family with experience in building engagement through training, structure, and boundaries. He would be well suited to lure coursing or similar type activities that would satisfy his desire to chase. We are working on crate training as he initially had a strong negative association with crating, he currently sleeps on his bed in our room overnight without issue. Interested approved adopters can contact me (rodschlemm@ gmail.com) for more information about Rocky. I’ll continue to update his profile as we learn more about this energetic pup. He is being fostered in King George
