About Rocky
Meet Rocky, he quickly becomes the best friend you never knew you couldn't live without. Rocky loves playing with humans and other dogs, making him a true social butterfly in the canine community.
Rocky thrives on attention and always enjoys learning—especially when treats are involved! His intelligence and playful antics promise a good time every day. Rocky needs plenty of exercise to keep him happy and curb any mischievous tendencies. He's looking for an experienced owner who can offer firm yet loving guidance, which will allow him to flourish and grow.
Rocky is dog-social and would appreciate having another pup for companionship, but due to his boisterous playstyle, ongoing socialization is key. While he's nailed down basic commands, he's still working on perfecting his house-training skills, requiring a consistent routine. Rocky will require mental enrichment as he can become slightly destructive when bored. Gentle and consistent positive reinforcement is the best way to help Rocky respond well to direction.
Medical notes

Adoption details
We run by appointment, preferably all members of the household to come meet the animal you are wanting to adopt.
If you own another dog, you must bring them along to make sure all dogs get along.
As our goal is to adopt animals out from the shelter into loving homes as fast as possible, multiple bookings may be made for the same animal.
We are not able to hold any animals for any reason.
As such, there is a possibility that the animal you may have found a forever home before your appointment. If this is the case we will inform you by phone call as soon as possible.
Appointment Hours:
Mon- 1-4pm
Tues- 1-4pm
Wed- CLOSED
Thurs- 1-4pm
Fri- 1-4pm
Sat- 9am-12:30pm
Sun- CLOSED
Please give the shelter a call on 5334 2075 or email animalshelter@ballarat.vic.gov.au for more information about the animal and our adoption procedures.
Apologies if we do not reply to your enquiry, we are a busy Shelter and get pulled away from the office often.
We appreciate you wanting to adopt! Please do not let this discourage you from adopting in the future!
This pet has been adopted and found love with its new family.
