Rocky the Dog needs a home

Adopting A Shelter Dog



These dogs come without background histories/ past medical information. We present these dogs as we have observed in relationship to age, size, breed, behavior, housebreaking, crate training, good with children, cats, dogs, and strangers. Dogs may present themselves differently in different environments, therefore The Dog Spot Rescue, their agents, volunteers, can not guarantee behavior, age, size expectations, breed, house Training, destructive behavior tendencies, and/or medical issues. All dogs from shelters have been subjected to pathogens from the shelter level which can materialize into disease in the future.  Each adopter must observe for themselves pre-adoption and make decisions for themselves the suitability of said dog and their tolerance levels for transitional time when adopting a shelter dog.  We ask that each adopter take their time when making the choice to bring home a rescued dog.



Rocky came to us a frightful mess. Ultra thin, scared, big brown eyes looking for love. We gave him time, love, and a place to recover and now he is ready to find HOME. Rocky had a rough beginning but is looking forward not behind. He is great with other dogs here, loves attention, yummy treats (human food leftovers are his favorite) following us. He is learning leash but still in training. Rocky has empathy and understanding for your mood and can give you space when you need it or give you attention. He is such a sweet, tender boy.
Rocky could be a special dog for a special child or adult. He would love a quiet home with lots of attention. He can have dog buddies and siblings or be an only child He rarely barks here and is crate trained. He is excellent in the house with a good routine. He may be bashful upon first meet but will quicky bond. He comes with a 30 day post adopton trial.
Adoption is $375.00 which includes his neuter, shots, rabies, chip, heart worm test, de worming treatment, applied flea medication.
If interested in meeting Rocky, please fill out an on line application at: thedogspot.rescuegroups.org and then contact us by e-mailing at: [email protected] for a meet and greet appointment.

Your Adoption Fee covers the following expenses: Spay/Neuter, DHLPP, Bordatella, Rabies (if age appropriate), De-worming and Frontline/Advantage



Please Note: Shelter/rescue dogs have been exposed to many pathogens such as kennel cough, parasites, diseases and conditions some of which may not have been discovered prior to adoption. Any dog that shows symptoms here at TDS are routinely identified, taken for tests and treatment. Our vet bills can exceed $10,000 a month. However, without symptoms, we may miss a disease, or pre-existing condition or parasite. Consider carefully if you have the tolerance for these possibilities. We consider, you, the adopters, the last leg of the rescue process.
