Rocky II is Adopted

 

Meet Rocky! He is our foster dog through Northeast Boston Terrier Rescue.

Rocky was our foster for the summer after he was surrendered by his owner of seven years.  He was the first vegetarian dog I have ever met!  Rocky's owner went through tough times and Rocky acted out.  Maria in CT was so kind to take him into her home and care for him.  When my former foster Jack Flash was adopted, Rocky was transported from CT to Philly and he stayed with my husband and I for the summer since we don't have a dog and Rock is no-dogs. 

Rocky seemed very anxious at first so we just "let him be" for awhile and stuck to the schedule that Maria had created for him.  I spent hours playing ball with him every morning and night since he had a lot of pent-up anxiety and lots of energy.   Each week we could see the layers peel back as Rocky became a calm, relaxed, playful, obedient, and affectionate dog.  My husband and I agreed a long time ago that we wouldn't let a dog sleep in our bed, but one morning we woke up and Rocky was at the foot of the bed UNDER the covers - and got there without waking us up!  We cracked up and that was that - Rocky was there to stay.  He trained us as much as we trained him :)  He gave us a lot of good laughs over the past few months with his funny personality and little quirks. 

We absolutely love Rocky and he was adopted into a wonderful home. They promised me multiple times that they would give Rocky the best home.  We will miss him, but we feel that he is exactly where he belongs.  They already texted me a photo of him and said that they are playing ball.  Sounds like Rocky is settling in already.

Thank you to Maria for caring for him and giving me so much support with Rocky! And thank you Lisa for transporting Rocky!! 

He is a funny dog with a big personality. We have loved our time with him and will miss him greatly.
