Hi everyone, my name is Rocky
Meet Rocky, a sweet and playful young dog bursting with energy! Rocky is a delightful companion who would make a fantastic addition to any family. He thrives on daily activity and mental stimulation, making him a great fit for an active household that can keep up with his lively spirit.
Rocky is still working on building his confidence, so he would benefit from a patient and loving family willing to help him grow into the best version of himself. He is eager to learn and enjoys being mentally challenged, making training sessions a great bonding experience.
Rocky can happily go to a home with another dog, provided the other dog is well-rounded and knows how to interact and play appropriately. He would thrive with a canine companion who can help him learn the ropes and build his confidence in social situations.
If you’re looking for a fun-loving and energetic dog who will keep you on your toes and fill your home with joy, Rocky might just be the perfect match for you!
Adopting an animal
Adopting an animal is a rewarding experience that will last a lifetime. But before you adopt a pet please take some time to consider the commitment you are about to make. Sometimes the excitement of pet ownership can overshadow factors that should be considered before adoption.
Adopting a shelter pet is a lifelong decision that will have a major impact to your normal, everyday life. Please remember that a cat or dog can live for up to 20 years and they will rely only on you for their wellbeing for their entire life.
- Do I have time to exercise the dog every day?
- Do I have time for puppy pre-school and time to socialise a puppy?
- Do I have at least an hour every day to spend with my cat?
- Do I have time for obedience training?
- If renting, does the landlord permit pets?
- Is the backyard big enough and is the fencing secure?
- Does the whole family want a pet?
- Will the pet be allowed inside?
- Will I have to move interstate or overseas in the foreseeable future?
- Will I have to move to another rental property where the landlord may not allow pets.
Pets are a lifelong monetary commitment, you will need to factor in:
- Weekly animal food bills and necessities
- Yearly council registration
- Monthly medications like heart worm/intestinal worm and flea treatments
- Annual vet visits for vaccinations and check ups
- Unexpected vet bills due to accidents or medical conditions
- Ongoing grooming
- Boarding fees for human holidays
- Enrichment like training, toys etc
