He apparently loves people and craves affection, now Rocky, a one-year-old German shepherd mix, is looking for a place to call home.
The adorable big pup came to the BC SPCA’s Richmond Animal Shelter just over a month ago as a stray.
And he was quickly won the hearts of shelter staff with his vocal expressions and lovable nature.
He is, shelter staff say, on a “journey to learn basic manners” but he “quickly settles down and enjoys the simple pleasures in life. Snuffle mats and toys are his absolute favourites, providing him with endless entertainment and mental stimulation. These items keep him occupied and content, showcasing his intelligent and curious nature.”
Rocky is still learning how to behave when meeting new people but is making progress and is eager to please his best friends.
However, it’s important to note that Rocky would not do well in a home with cats or small animals.
“His high prey drive makes it essential to ensure their safety. On the other hand, with slow and proper introductions, Rocky could potentially do well with other dogs,” according to the shelter’s adoption page.
“He thrives on socialization and enjoys the company of his fellow canines, but a gradual approach is key to building trust and ensuring harmony.”
If you think you could be Rocky’s new “parents,” go to the BC SPCA’s adoption page for more information on how to meet him.
