Australian Kelpie and Shepherd Dogs Available for Adoption

Rocky is a phenomenal dog and we just can't say enough about him to describe how awesome he is, but we will try:

Rocky's story is a sad one. He started out as a street pup in Egypt where dogs are not treated very well. Yes, Egypt! While he may have had a rough start, like most of God's creatures, he has proven how very resilient he is. Rocky is super friendly, he is trusting, incredibly playful and inspiringly HAPPY!! He's got a crooked paw due to a fracture he suffered while being on the streets, but that just gives him more character

Rocky is incredibly smart and he's a very quick learner. He is such a loving dog, especially once he fully trusts you. He is super duper playful, and when you're too busy to keep him entertained, he entertains himself by throwing his toys around. It's really adorable! Rocky is also very polite. He actually waits for you to give him a pat on the head or an "Okay" before he eats. He prefers lounging on rugs as opposed to jumping on your couch, and, oftentimes, he can be found napping right in his open crate. He responds to his name and he is thrilled to come when you call him, especially if it means going out for a stroll or a ride in the car or truck! Oh!!! And he is an EXCELLENT security guard!

The IDEAL home for Rocky would be with a human(s) who is dedicated to making Rocky, and his needs, a priority.. The IDEAL home will have a lot of space for him to play inside and a fenced-in yard, preferably 5ft or higher, as he has proven to be quite the acrobat/jumper. However, Rocky LOVES to go for walks, so the IDEAL home would be with people who can take him for walks often. Lastly, Rocky would do best in a home with no other pets or young children.

Rocky still needs some discipline, so it is important that he have an experienced adopter familiar with dog training and all that it entails.

He will absolutely thrive with lots of time and attention dedicated to him.
This boy deserves all the love life has to offer because he is truly a special guy who has been given a wonderful opportunity at the good life, and we think he knows it cause he's literally always smiling!!

Rocky is approximately 1-2 yrs old and weighs about 45 lbs. He is neutered, up to date with vaccines and is a very healthy baby boy!!
