Meet Rocky: Your New Best Friend!

Rocky is a charming Labrador Retriever and German Shepherd mix with a beautiful black and tan coat. Rocky is around 11 years old and weighs 54 pounds. Despite his mature age, he maintains a medium energy level, making him the perfect companion for both play and relaxation.

Rocky has a gentle and loving disposition. He interacts well with other dogs, regardless of their gender, and shows no signs of aggression over food, toys, or other objects. Until recently, he had been owned by an elderly woman His calm nature makes him an ideal pet for families and seniors alike. He has played with and met children, but because he has not lived with children we think children over age 7 would be best.

Rocky does not like cats and is very cat-aggressive, so a cat-free home is a must! All the cats he has met agree.

Rocky is crate-trained and is accustomed to morning and afternoon potty breaks, after which he enjoys a bit of outdoor playtime. He exhibits no separation anxiety and remains calm and clean in his kennel. He does well on the leash with no pulling.

Rocky would thrive with a loving family or a single adult who enjoys playtime and companionship.

Rocky might be the perfect addition to your family if you are looking for a loyal and affectionate companion!
