Pound Paws Rescue 💜🐾
* Update - on hold for a new home!
Rocky is a gorgeous, affectionate 20 month old Huntaway x Collie looking for his second chance at a happy-ever-after! Fostered at Little River.
Rocky originally came into our care as a 3-month-old pup who was surrendered off a farm with his 9 siblings. Right from the get-go Rocky was friendly, cheeky, playful pup who flourished in foster care.
He found the perfect home on a farm as a pet, where he was going to learn to do a bit of sheep work. Tragically Rocky's wonderful owner suffered a serious health diagnosis and had to surrender him back to us a year later, knowing he could no longer offer Rocky the life he deserved.
Rocky is currently fostered on a lifestyle block where he has lots of room to run. He is well socialised with other dogs and great with cats, chickens, pigs and people!
He is perfectly crate trained and sleeps inside, has beautiful leash walking manners, good basic commands, and loves to ride in the truck!
All Rocky wants is an owner to adore and go on adventures with! He would make a dream addition to an active owner/couple or family with older children. Rocky needs lots of exercise, but is otherwise happy to snooze on the couch or nap at your feet between runs. He could be happy as an only dog provided he had opportunities to socialise with other playful dogs or attend day care regularly. Must be rural as Rocky has a big guard bark and can bark out of excitement (he is a Huntaway after all!)
Rocky comes with lifetime access to Little River Dog stay for day care and overnight boarding.
