About Rocky
PLEASE NOTE: Due to COVID-19 and travel being restricted, I am only allowed to be adopted in NSW or ACT.
My name is Rocky and I am an eleven month old German Shepherd. In my short life I have have had several homes, unfortunately the last home haven't owned a German Shepherd before and didn't realise how much energy I would have. So I am currently with with a foster carer on acreage and having fun running around the garden and trying to chase the birds.
Being a young dog I have a lot of energy so am looking for a home with an energetic person or couple, or a home with teenage children, who have recently had a German Shepherd and understand how much time I need.
I will need a home where I be an integral family member and where I can continue with my lead and basic obedience training.
I have been living on my own so don't know if I would be suitable as a companion for a young female German Shepherd or large breed dog. I haven't been near cats but as I like to chase birds I don't think I can go to a home with cats, pocket pets or small dogs.
Intelligence, loyalty, love and companionship is what I will give in abundance when I connect and builds that trust with my new owner.
If you understand the nature of the German Shepherd, have recently owned a German Shepherd, and are looking for a companion dog then please consider me.
If you think you can give me a new home please contact us by selecting "Enquire about this Pet".
Medical notes
Rocky is microchipped and vaccinated and will be desexed before going to his new home.
Adoption details
We have an Adoptions Manager who screens all prospective candidates as to their suitability to adopt a German Shepherd Dog.
We try to contact every one by phone but if that isn't successful we will email our application form to you, which needs to be completed and returned, or you can call us back and we can chat and complete for you. We will also ask you to provide photos of your yard and fencing to enable us to see where the dog will be kept and that they have areas of shade and shelter.
All our dogs are ready to go to their new home, so when you enquire about a dog you must be in a position to take them into your home. We are unable to hold a dog while you fix your fences or go on holiday, etc.
The successful candidate who adopts one of our dogs is provided with an information kit, ongoing support, training and advice on all aspects of feeding, training and general assistance to ensure both the new owner and our rescued dog settle into their home.
