About Rocky *On Trial in His New Home*
*ROCKY IS CURRENTLY TRIALING HIS NEW HOME - NO MORE ENQUIRIES/APPLICATIONS PLEASE* Hi everyone - my name is Rocky! Apparently there was a film made about me years ago with some bloke named Sly in it ... it was the story of someone who got a second chance to do wonderful things, just like me! I am much better looking than Sly though, in my own opinion of course - and I bounce around on my toes more than he did! Actually, I am pretty bouncy all of the time - nothing beats bouncing .... other than pats or cuddles, oh - and yes, there is cheese and chicken necks – mmmmm!
I am mainly rotti apparently, but have a bit of staffy in me - whatever that means. I'm gorgeous anyway - just look at my eyes! I am only a young bloke - around 7 or 8 months, but I am going to be a big fella when I grow up - my foster mum says my feet are the size of dinner plates! I can't see the problem - you know what they say about big feet ..... yep - big heart!
I am living on a huge farm in North West Victoria with lots of dogs and other critters. I love them all and have a ball playing with the other dogs - but decided in my old home that cats were really only good for one thing - chasing! Kids are great too - they give good cuddles and like getting dirty with me, but as I am growing and quite strong I think I would be best in a house with older, sturdier kids who don't fall over when I bounce at them. It happens - I still haven't quite got the hang of my size yet - and please don't laugh when I try and crawl onto your lap for a snuggle, I can't possibly be as big as you think!
I would be a very loyal and loving dog to have in your family, and if you need someone to give a big deep bark when someone knocks on your door or pulls up in a car I am happy to help out with that too.
When I first meet new people I am a bit nervous - I'm not being rude, I like to check them out to make sure they aren't going to hurt me - but within a couple of minutes we will be best mates (I'm not very keen on that place they call the vet though ... it makes me very nervous!)
By the way - I am very clever and learn things quickly and have lovely manners - I have even graduated from Puppy School (but think that it would be a good idea if I had some more training, especially on a lead as I just want to GO ...) I am very good at sitting, particularly if there is food anywhere around. And I sleep inside with my other doggy friends and haven't had one accident yet. I'm not an inside dog during the day though - I love having some space to sniff and wander around in, and a daily run with my person would be ideal, if that's ok with you! I'm very happy if you want to go for a drive in the car with me as well (I'd prefer it wasn't to the vet though!) as the car is fun and I am a very good boy in the car (I'm a very good boy most of the time, but I do have my puppy moments ...hey - I'm a puppy, that's why!)
My foster family are great, but I'd love to have furever people of my own - do you think I would fit into your family? Let's see! We can bounce together!!
Love .... Rocky x

Adoption details
Please Note: SARG and our animals for adoption are located in Mildura in North-West Victoria.
Our adoption process commences with completing an Application form which you'll find at: www.sarg.net.au
The Application is then reviewed, references checked and a yard check done, then, if there are no issues, a meet and greet is organised. If all goes well the last stage is a 28 day home-trial to make sure that everyone is happy.
If the trial is successful our “stray” is then officially considered adopted and the microchip transferred into the new owners name.
If anything goes wrong SARG will always take back one of our animals :)
