My story

Hello world! Meet Willy Nelson, aka Rocky: This young man has had a rocky start in his short life but is turning into a rock-solid dog despite it. Through no apparent fault of his own, Rocky was dumped on the street. He did not have any identification and no one has stepped forward to claim. Someone familiar with the situation claims that they saw his former owners dump him and leave. We are determined to keep that from happening again and would like to help him find a soft permanent place to land forever. This sweet boy has been exposed to young children and other dogs and has interacted with them wonderfully. Rocky has been curious with his foster’s cats but easily redirects with a simple “no”. He has adjusted to a kennel during the day, but prefers to climb in bed to snuggle with the rest of the pack for bed. House training is a work in progress, but Rocky is smart and has been catching on quickly with frequent potty breaks. Since Rocky has been with his foster, they have been working on leash training, and he is learning basic commands. He is a proper, polite gentleman and has naturally great manners. His current foster has a large property and he has had no issues with staying close when off leash. He has shown no possession or food aggression. He is very playful and has lots of energy as he should. Rocky is approximately 7 months old, neutered, heart worm negative, dewormed, up to date on vaccines. If this sounds like the pup for you, please complete an application at https://www.saveastray.org/forms/form?formid=3635 Once the application is approved, a FaceTime will be set up for a virtual meet and greet. Since we are located in Mobile, AL, this will give you the opportunity to see the pet interact with other dogs, people, and see a bit of their personality. Transports leave every week alternating between the NE and the Great Lakes. We use the most animal-friendly transport on the road. Rescue Riders Pet Transport. Thank you for your interest in a Save a Stray pet.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Willie Nelson, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
