𝗩𝗼𝗹𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗿 𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗲𝘀: Rocky is SO handsome- tall, lean with a shiny fawn coat. He was laying on his bed when I came to see him, looking pretty sad but quickly got up and came to see me. He perked up and leashed very easily, walking out on a very loose leash and greeting all the dogs with a wagging tail as he walked past the kennels. He is well behaved, and his decent shelter notes reflect that, as well as the fact that he?s been here for 2 weeks. He got along well with Sonny, and seemed mildly curious and friendly with the dogs he met. He was out in the runs for a while and ended up laying down underneath the table to get some shade, nice and relaxed with his back to Sonny. He loved treats, took them with a gentle mouth and also leaned onto me to get some pats, very sweet. I brought Nigel into the next run, and they did not get along, it was the only dog I saw Rocko not like. I believe Nigel started growling and Rocko started growling back. Maybe slower introductions with males would be best, although he got along fine with Sonny. Plea: Rocko A1878377 was found as a stray, he is a good boy, heartworm negative. In the kennel and in the runs, he is a vocal boy. He has a microchip but the owner has not made contact with us.
