Rocky ~ German Shepherd X (on trial 12/10/19)

Hi my name is Rocky! I’m 3 and 1/2 years old and a rather strapping young lad. My papers say I’m a German Shepard cross, but I’m a real mixed bag. I’m a medium sized boy, at a guess around 30kg.

Dog Rescue Newcastle are helping my current owner find an amazing new family for me. One that has a bit more time for me, that loves to go for walks as much as I do and one that would love to socialise me with other dogs.

I get along well with other dogs. I currently live on my own, so could stay an only dog as long as I get lots of opportunities to play with other dogs as I am quite the social butterfly. I would also love to go to a family that has another dog that I can play with. My current owner does work full time and I am ok while they are at work, but any new home would need to have lots of time for me when they get home if they work full time. I would be very happy for a daily walk and then to sit by your side for a relaxing evening.

I haven’t been exposed very much to around cats or pocket pets, but I may just want to play with them, so a home without cats or pocket pets would be best.

I know how to sit and drop. A home that is committed to providing me some ongoing training would be ideal. I respond very well to training, particularly when treats are involved. I do pull a little bit during walks, but if I'm walked everyday, I’m sure I wouldn’t be so excited and would improve. Currently I am walked using a halti harness and walk well with that on.

I have been mainly an outside dog, but am welcomed inside at night to sleep and don’t have any accidents. I would need to be allowed to sleep inside in my forever home and would love to be welcomed inside whenever you are home.

I currently live with a child who is over 5, so am fine around kids, but as I am a strong boy that could do with a bit more training, it would be best if any kids in my forever home were over 10. I travel fine in a car and hopefully my new home, would include lots of trips to the park, beach or even a café.

I really am a beautiful boy who would flourish in a home that can give me lots of love and attention.
