About Rocko (D3137)
Rocko is an amazing dog with capital p Potential! He’ll make you laugh, he’ll make you feel special and he’ll make you proud. A champion on the lead, and verbally responsive off lead, Rocko is quick to train due to his intelligence, desire to please and his love of food! When his carer leaves the house, he sits and stays as she’s leaving the yard, even while the gates are open. He loves his trips to the park and beach and plays well with other unknown dogs. His foster mother says he is a beautiful soul who loves affection. When she sits down, he immediately comes over and puts his head on her lap.
He has the true Blue Heeler disposition of being active and intelligent. So what he will need from you to be a brilliant pet is consistency in providing a lot of human company, enrichment activities, lots of exercise and training. Like many heelers he has a tendency to protect his territory by barking so would make a fabulous watch dog. But, just for fun, he also loves to bark at birds and motorbikes. He would make an awesome site supervisor (aka tradie’s dog) or be great for a family with older children or indeed suit anyone who enjoys putting the time into a working dog breed.
He loves water and chew toys. He’ll put his whole head under the surface in a bucket of water. He loves sitting in the shell pool, playing in it and best of all, splashing water from the shell pool all over himself. If you turn the hose on, he’ll jump into the spray with his mouth open, trying to catch it.
Rocko is desexed, microchipped, up to date with vaccinations and toilet trained.
Like to adopt but think he’s too far away? For a reasonable cost we can fly him almost anywhere in WA or interstate thanks to our sponsors at QANTAS Air Freight and the Toll Group.
You can feel safe to adopt long distance because our animals come with a “lifetime guarantee” so if for any reason they are no longer able to stay in your care, we will take them back without hesitation.
If you think you’re the one to bring out Rocko’s best and reap the rewards, call SAFE Karratha today on (08) 9185 4634.
This pet has been adopted and found love with its new family.
