Handsome Rocky is an 11-month-old, 50-pound playful pup with plenty of love and energy to spare! Rocky is a treat-motivated boy who knows his basic training cues, has good house manners, and is already crate trained. He is pretty gentle about taking treats, and his enthusiasm should make it easy to teach him engaging new tricks and games. This fun dog is known to greet everyone with friendly tail wags and has lived with a cat in his previous home. Rocky would be a wonderful companion for outdoor excursions and would love to play tug-of-war with his new friends.
