Meet Rocky, a seven and a half year old German Shepherd weighing 93 pounds.

German Shepherd lovers will fall head over heels with this distinguished older gentleman. Rocky's story actually starts with us in 2018 when he was brought in by animal control after he had been left outside for over 48 hours without food, water or shelter. He was then adopted out to what we thought was his forever home but it turns out he had been rehoming two years ago and then his new owners reached out to us needing to rehome him due to landlord issues. For the last two years he has been living as an outdoor dog, allowed in their garage when it got colder. With his age we would love for him to transition to a dog that is allowed inside, and we are sure he would enjoy that as well. He has been inside with us in his kennel and has been doing well. He loves his squeaky toys and treats, just watch your fingers when he enthusiastically grabs them. Rocky would do best in a home with no cats as he tends to focus a little too much on them. He is a big boy but he has matured so beautifully and we are sure he will steal your heart.

Did you know YHS lets local community members FOSTER TO ADOPT?
That's where you and the pet make sure you're a good fit for one another by having a fun sleepover prior to finalizing your adoption. It's a win-win for everyone! Just ask our front desk staff about how it works.
