Meet Rocky

2/10/25  Rocky is currently enrolled in the Paws in Prison program. He started there on 2/10 and will be there for 8 weeks. During that time he will be with an inmate trainer who will work on the basics with him (basic obedience, leash walking, house training, etc.). They meet weekly with a dog trainer. When Rocky graduates, he will have his Canine Good Citizen Certificate. We hope he has a home waiting for him when he graduates in April.  Rocky is a sweet, affectionate pup around 1.5-2 years old, with a gorgeous brindle coat and a gentle spirit. At 38lbs, he's the perfect size—just the right balance of not too big, not too small. Rocky gets along with everyone he meets, both humans and dogs, although he may bark a little when first introduced. He has been fostered at a Doggy daycare where he is friends with many dogs of all sizes. He barked at the cats at the vet clinic so probably would not be a good candidate for a home with felines. When he was rescued from the shelter, we noticed a slight limp in his back left leg. After a vet check, we learned it was an old injury that’s fully healed, and the vet felt it best to leave it as is. Since then, Rocky has been gaining strength and doing great with regular exercise. With a wonderful balance of playfulness and relaxation, Rocky is an easygoing guy. He loves to play but is just as happy to lounge and relax by your side. Rocky is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, and ready to join a loving family! He is approximately 1.5- 2 years old, and is a mix of many breeds. Located in Arkansas, but transport is available. Adopter must be able to pick up or arrange for someone to pick up for them at one of the following times/locations.
