ADOPTED ROCKY

Male, 7.5 years, 55 lbs

Meet ROCKY, a sweet 7 ½ year old boy of 55 pounds with a beautiful rough coat and classic black & white markings.
ROCKY is very social with people. He grew up in a home with older adults, and was an only dog. He loves hugs, pets, giving kisses, and hanging near his people. ROCKY gets along well with his foster BC packmates (he loved our two foster puppies!) and we’re told that he is OK around cats. He likes to chase bugs in the yard, run, chill out and nap, and chew on a good deer antler.

ROCKY has some pretty classic BC behaviors and needs a home with the following:
• Room to run on 1 or more acres
• A mentally active environment – having other dog playmates, taking regular hikes/walks, supplying chew toys and games
• ROCKY will need to sleep in the same room as his human
• Owner understanding and acceptance of the BC mild OCD tendencies such as chasing bugs, catch/come at night as a game to play
• Owner knowledge of herding dog training strategies that use positive rewards to set and reinforce good behaviors

ROCKY travels well, sleeps in his crate all night, is micro-chipped, heart worm negative and on preventative, and up to date on vaccinations.
