ROCKY

GaDaH was contacted by Houston Humane Society to see if we could help them with some German Shepherds that they had turned in as owner surrenders. They had lots of interest from people to adopt, but they wanted them to be back-yard/guard dogs.

ROCKY was an owner surrender with his brother SPIKE because her owners could no longer care for them. They said they were bought from a breeder, however, had no papers.

ROCKY is neutered, rabies, up to date on vaccines, de-wormed, micro-chipped and tested NEGATIVE for heart-worm disease. ROCKY weighs approximately 71 pounds. His given date of birth is 24 October 2012.

ROCKY is the big brother to SPIKE and both boys are good buddies. ROCKY can be more alpha than SPIKE but not in an aggressive way. ROCKY is great with the other dogs, he is confident, but not imposing.

ROCKY is a lovely boy, he is affectionate, but it is clear it is not something he has been used to and was initially unsure when you go to stroke his head and cowered a little. But once scratching on his ears he is of course a happy boy.

ROCKY needs an active family who can give him plenty of both physical and mental stimulation. He will benefit from lots of long walks, allowing him to smell and let his mind process everything. He will need a family that can be patient and let him learn to trust completely.

GaDaH is hoping to adopt ROCKY and his brother SPIKE together since they have clearly been through so much together and are bonded, however, we will consider individual adopters to ensure they both get wonderful homes.

ROCKY is available for adoption through Give a Dog a Home, German Shepherd Dog Rescue for an adoption fee of $350. We do allow out of state adoptions, however, the adopting family must cover all transport costs, information can be found on our application page on the website along with the application.
