Rocky - Australian Shepherd Dog for Adoption in Coarsegold, California

We named this guy Rocky. He was surrendered to a shelter under false pretenses as a stray. We know he had an owner, cause he was brushed and had good manners up until the owner turned him over to shelter staff. This poor confused boy got very upset. So upset he wouldn't let shelter staff touch him. They were going to euthanize him, but we got him out just in time. And let me tell you-he is so gentle and sweet and loves all the dogs in the rescue. Hes so good hearted!! He needs a home. We are working on getting him neutered. He's not reactive at all nor is he anxious. He's just curious and happy and wants to be loved. He loves other dogs a little too much that sometimes they have to give him a warning to go away. Too bad we don't know his history. We are guessing he is 3 or 4. Apply at Diggs4dogs.com. He's chipped. We will get him neutered. Linda
