Rockie
American Staffordshire Terrier · Male · Adult · 5 years
Rockie is looking for a calm, understanding home where he can settle at his own pace and receive lots of love and care. He can potentially be left for short periods, but this will need to be introduced and built up very gradually. Rockie would benefit from living with another dog who could help him build confidence. He can live with secondary school-aged children who will not overwhelm him and understand that he can be a worried boy in unfamiliar situations. Rockie loves playing with his toys, especially Tug. With the right family, time and patience, Rockie has every opportunity to blossom into a wonderful companion. Rockie is a lovely 5-year-old Staffordshire Bull Terrier x Jack Russell who is currently enjoying life in foster care. He is a gentle and affectionate boy who can feel a little unsettled when faced with change and may take some time to adjust to new surroundings. He would therefore thrive in a calm, patient home with a consistent routine. His new family will need to give him plenty of time, patience and reassurance while he adjusts to his new surroundings. It may take him a week or so to truly feel comfortable but sitting with him and offering gentle reassurance and head strokes help to make him feel safe. Rockie is happy to meet new people and, once he gets to know you, he can be very affectionate. He enjoys exploring new places on walks, although he may need some time to build his confidence before fully enjoying new adventures. He is happy wearing his harness and receiving fuss, but his confidence is still growing.
