  Rocky's Story

  
  Mouse over image to ZOOM!

  Rocky. Rocky is a thoughtful and happy pup. He is a Pit Bull.

  
  He goes nuts for getting wet and really doesn't like tractors. Rocky is a dedicated companion to humans (even though he sometimes growls at the T.V. for no reason whatsoever).
  

  Sadly, Rocky was abandoned by a breeder. Rocky now lives with the other Shelter Pups while waiting for a nice human to love him.

  But Rocky, like all dogs, does not dwell on the past. He lives in the present and wags his tail for the future. Rocky is a friendly, medium energy dog. Rocky's warm and friendly nature makes him the ultimate companion. Rocky is a very sloppy eater and he'll be best in a home where he can get to spend plenty of time with humans.
  
  He is already house broken and knows tons of tricks!

  Things You Should Know
  Before Adopting Rocky

  
  Rocky is a friendly, medium energy Pit Bull. Be ready for action. Also, each dog breed has certain traits. Knowing a little bit about your pup's individual personality and breed personality will give you some clues about how to care for your pup.
  
  There's a whole lot of Pit Bull in this Shelter Pup!
  
  Friendliness: Pit Bulls may look brawny and tough but they are actually very good natured and sweet companions. This breed was specifically bred for patience and acceptance, making this pup a polite playmate. Make sure your Pit Bull meets lots of new dogs so he doesn't become too shy.
  
  Grooming: The Pit Bull's extremely short coat is very low maintaince but also make Pit Bulls sensitive to cold weather. Brush your pup every week and provide a warm jacket while playing in the snow.
  
  Exercise: A Pit Bull may look active and powerful but they only need moderate daily activity to stay healthy. A daily walk on a leash or short romp in the backyard will keep a Pit Bull happy and fit. Young Pit Bulls like to jump so obedience training is very important.
