Rocky's Story: Rocky came from a neglected background: He lived with an alcoholic and then was taken in by his last family at the age of five months. Rocky was excellent with the family's young children, but bit a running man whilst 'guarding' them. Rescue Remedies offered a Rescue place, saving his life. Rocky is neutered, chipped and fully vaccinated. Rocky was now in boarding kennels near Guildford whilst awaiting his new family.
Rocky has a few fear issues that are still present if he smells alcohol on men, or if there are quick threatening movements from men Rocky does not know. With the help of our Volunteers, Rocky is maturing and working his way through these issues. Rocky lived with small children (five and seven) and regularly visiting toddlers. Rocky bit a man who passed him whilst running down a stairwell past 'Rocky's' children. Rocky was booked in to be put to sleep for this protective behaviour, but we saved him. We are looking for a quiet, stable home for Rocky.
If you are interested in rehoming one of our dogs, please complete our ONLINE HOMING QUESTIONNAIRE. It is always the first step in our rehoming process. Upon application, you must be ready to take in your new dog within seven days. For more detailed information, please see our Homing Process.
Please support our work and help our long stay dogs: Our minimum adoption donation is £175. This supports our continuing rescue work and is non-refundable. We exist solely due to the goodwill and donations of our supporters and volunteers. Our dogs need supportive families who will offer them patience, time and tolerance whilst they settle in their new homes. Our Rescue offers all our dogs back-up for life.
Please note: Dog laws have changed, with zero public tolerance and prejudice against bull breeds and terriers. Our Rescue asks new owners to keep their dog on a lead in public spaces and manage and support its encounters with new dogs and people, so as not to place the dog's life at risk. Destruction and Control Orders are commonplace nowadays.
Rocky's progress through our Rescue is below.
We work with our dogs, who often reveal a different picture and positive skills as they build trust.
Original Referral information:
We were asked to save Rocky who was booked in to be put to sleep on the 5th July. Instead his owner brought him into our care for homing
