About Rocky
Please go to www.foreverfriends.org.au / adopt to submit an Expression of Interest to Adopt Rocky.
Rocky is an energetic young man, having turned ONE year old this month.
In the past few months he has undergone surgery on a deformed leg to give it strength and stability. The surgery had been a great success and Rocky is now ready for his forever home.
When he first came to rescue he had very few skills, but he has proven to be very intelligent and willing to learn. Rocky is a very smart young man, he is food motivated and is eager to please. During his time at his foster carer’s home he has learned so much. He has been housetrained, learned to sit on command, has been crate trained, waiting until command given to eat, go to bed, walk nicely on a lead.
He lived with a small grumpy dog and a cat and knew to respect their space. He has become good buddies with his foster carer's own dog (that’s the tan dog in the photos). They sleep together, eat together and play together. Rocky is able to form strong bonds with other friends. At night he takes himself into his crate for bedtime, He has good manners inside the house and despite being a big boy at 44kg he seems to know his size and his very gentle and just wants to sit on your couch.
Rocky loves jumping in the car and loves being a part of the family. In his down time he is happy to chill on the couch, relax in his crate or on your bed if you let him. He carries his toys around in his mouth and takes them to his bed.
Rocky is looking for his forever home. Do you fit the criteria?
His perfect home will be an active family but with slightly older children due to Rocky’s size (he might bump them over). You will have a confident dog who would like an energetic buddy.
He has lived with a cat, he was okay but intrigued by it but would be happy to live with no cats.
It has been a long journey for Rocky, but now it is time to find him a forever home.
Medical notes
Forever Friends Animal Rescue gave Rocky the necessary surgery for his leg on 11 October 2018. His foster carers have given him the best round the clock care to ensure his operation was a success. Latest Xrays on 8 December show bony healing and confirm that Rocky is recovering beautifully, and he will be ready to go to a new home on 5 January 2019.
Because of the success of this surgery he only needs one more check-up, so his new family will need to be able to take him to SAH Vet Hospital in Cheltenham for follow up Xrays in February 2019 to re-check his progress, and confirm all is well. FFAR will pay for that visit.
