Rocky - Black Labrador Retriever and Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler Dog for Adoption in Rifle, Colorado

I'm Rocky, the happiest black lab blue heeler mix you'll ever meet! My tail wags so fast, I could take off like a helicopter. Humans are the best thing in the world, and I can't wait to jump up and give them sloppy kisses. When they say "sit," I'm right there, ready to impress with my obedience. But those furry creatures with pointy ears and whiskers? Cats! Ugh, I can't stand them. Give me a ball to chase, and I'm in doggy heaven! Im looking for a home with someone who can keep up with my high energy lifestyle!
