Rocko ~ 2 year old Kelpie x (on trial 27/3/19)

Hi my name is Rocko, I am a 2 year old Kelpie cross who is looking for my new forever home. I am a lovable dog who will lick you to death if you let me.

I am very energetic but love nothing more than cuddling up to you on the lounge.

I will need plenty of walking and play time to wear me out but have not yet mastered the art of playing fetch with the ball. I am learning commands of sit, drop, stay and come when my name is called but will need more training.

I can be timid at first and spooked with loud noises. I would prefer a family where someone is home often as I do suffer from separation anxiety, especially at bed time. But with patience and training this will improve.

At the moment I would rather sleep on the end of your bed but my foster family are trying to get me to sleep on my own bed.

I am a good traveller in the car and will fall asleep on your lap if you let me. I am house trained and will stay outside if you are home but would prefer to be inside with the family. I am good with kids and friendly with other friendly dogs.
