Meet Rocky The Rottweiler
Rocky is the greatest boy! So sweet and full of love to give
He weighed in at 32.5 kg / 71 pounds at his neuter in December. He is estimated to be about 5 years old.
Rocky, along with 3 females; Salt, Baby Face and Betsy (in their own profile), and 3 males; Reaper, Dasher and Rudolf, joined Mattie's Place November 17th when they were transferred into our care from another rescue that was in way over their heads and made many, many, many errors with the dogs in their care.
The dogs lived in a structure that had no temperature control, drainage, or acceptable outdoor use space. They spent 24 hours a day kennelled outside of sporadic breaks - but it didn't happen daily or anywhere near often enough.
All I can say is I'm so thankful they were transferred into our care so we could give them a bright future.
They were covered in urine and feces on intake so they were all professionally groomed and did amazing and were so tolerant!
They also required multiple vetting appointments and did not give any concern to the manipulations required to complete the tasks.
Rocky and all the others from this situation have all been very sweet and gentle dogs and have not given any indication to vets, groomers, trainers, handlers or kennel attendants or foster of any behaviour concerns.
An ideal home for Rocky is a home with a fenced in backyard. An adult only home as I've not tested him with kids. No other pets under 60 pounds as he hasn't been tested with small animals. A home committed to working with a professional trainer or comes with a lot of previous dog experience.
Rocky will bring joy to your life every single day. He's truly the gentlest boy. He just needs to find an adopter willing to give him a chance at having a person or people to call his own, that will remain committed and loyal to him, as he will be to you.
