Name: Rocky
Breed: American Eskimo
Age: 4 years
Weight: 20 lbs
Before OMD: Surrendered to a local animal control due to a change in his owners living situation.
Energy Level: Zero or 100. Theres really no in between! Hes either happily lounging around doing absolutely nothing or zooming through the house like a lunatic, usually convincing his foster pittie brother to join in the fun.
What We Love Most: His larger-than-life personality! Hes incredibly loyal, smart, funny, and absolutely full of character. Even his trainer couldnt help but say, I love this dog.
What He Loves Most: Food! If its edible, hes interested. He also loves playtime, adventures, and hanging out with his people.
Working On: Hes a smart guy who sometimes thinks he knows best. He doesnt always take correction well and, if you give him an inch, hell happily take a mile. Hell thrive with an adopter who provides consistent boundaries, structure, and continued training. He has also shown resource guarding around food, so hell need a quiet space to enjoy his meals.
Dogs: Maybe. He happily lives with his foster Pittie brother, but he has been overly dominant with certain small dogs. Slow, appropriate introductions, and boundaries, are important.
Cats: Likely okay, but not formally tested.
Kids: No, 16+ only
House Trained: Mostly... when he feels like it. A consistent routine will help him continue to improve.
Crate Trained: Yes! He crates well but may occasionally voice his opinion about it.
A Few More Things: Hes typically social, happy, and eager to meet new people. While hes friendly, he isnt your typical easy first dog. Hell do best with someone who appreciates the breeds quirks and will provide the leadership he needs. In return, youll get a loyal, entertaining, fluffy best friend with a whole lot of personality.
