Meet Rocky!
Rocky is a boy with a big personality just waiting to shine! He can be a little shy when meeting new people, but with patience and slow introductions, his silly, playful, and affectionate side starts to come out. Once he feels comfortable, Rocky's fun-loving personality really shines!
Rocky is a high-energy guy who needs an active home ready to keep both his body and mind busy. He'll benefit from plenty of exercise, enrichment, and activities that tap into his natural breed instincts. He's also working on his manners and impulse control, as he can get jumpy and mouthy when excited.
Rocky may also show resource-guarding behaviours in unfamiliar environments, so he'll need an adopter who understands the importance of giving him space, managing resources appropriately, and helping him feel safe through positive reinforcement.
Rocky is looking for a patient, committed family who will give him time to settle in, provide structure and enrichment, and help him continue learning. In return, you'll get a goofy, affectionate companion with plenty of personality to share!

At HSKWSP we do not assign our dogs or cats with a breed as we cannot guarantee the specific breed that they are. All dogs are labelled as small, medium and large breed and cats are labelled as DSH, DMH and DLH based on their characteristics.
***NOTE*** Please remember that animals are coming back from foster care to the centres for their meet and greets. They will be experiencing a new environment and meeting new people, which means they may not exhibit the same behaviours they did in their foster videos or while in foster care.
