About this Dog
Rocky was born June 23, 2015 and weighs about 100 lbs. Rocky is with us because his humans moved to a condo in Florida that does not allow his breed. Rocky is your typical Rottie and bonds intensely with his humans and would like for his new humans to be around more often than not. When Rocky was dropped off we were greeted with big (docked) tail wags and kisses. He needed vaccines and a bath upon arrival and he was wonderful with us for both, the nail trim was somewhat of a challenge and now that he is actively running around and swimming they are in good condition. Rocky has been good with other dogs here and if he goes to a home with another dog Rocky will likely be the alpha and a dog medium to his size would be preferred - he's just a lug. He is house trained and travels well in the car. He is also good on leash, but is strong if he decides to go in a different direction than you. He is the kind of guy that will hang with you when you are doing your outside chores. He has been fine meeting children but we wish to place him in an adult/teen home since he would most likely be protective of his home/family to strangers. When Rocky arrived he was out of shape and showed his age and after a few months here he looks amazing, is a wonderful weight, and if we didn't know better we might guess him to be about 7-8 years old! A couple years ago he weighed almost 150 lbs. - life style makes such a difference! Vet notes indicate there are two masses ventral thorax - 1 cm in size each that are cyst like and lipoma like. They were not tested and we do not have the funds at this time to get them tested. There is a scar on one eye lid and there are scars up and down (mostly the front) of all of his legs from chewing. The owners noted boredom, we are leaning in the boredom/stress direction. He was chewing on them some upon arrival, but we haven't noticed it lately now that we are getting him out for fun activities and socialization. He does have some nuclear sclerosis (old age cloudiness) in his eyes that is not bothering him at this time. Upon arrival he had an ugly skin tag like thing under one eye that magically fell off during his antics here. There was no blood so it was not attached very well. Whew! There are notes that he didn't care for the vet and his young, adult, "sister" was not able/willing to handle him and we saw normal protective instincts when he went to our vet and someone walked up and stuck their head in the truck when he was loose....probably not the best thing to do but everyone was fine. So, he is a normal Rottie....as he should be. The Rocky we have with us now, after a few months, is happy, loving, well adjusted, and is in great physical condition and no longer has the shattered heart he came to us with. Although he does need a forever home and, hopefully, that will be the last adjustment for him. Oh, he has amazing balance and loved to Kayak and he is a good swimmer and will do about anything for a squeaky toy! As you can tell we have grown to love him and have enjoyed his stay, but he would like more human attention than he gets here with so many others. Thank you for reading all this, if he is for you we would love to hear from you! The Adoption Fee for this dog is $__300.00__. Adoptions fees vary based on adoptability.

Adopt Rocky Conklin and Receive Dogecoin
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Rocky Conklin's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised. Dogecoin is digital currency that can be exchanged for cash, traded, or held as an investment (see the "What is Dogecoin" section below).
0.0 DOGE is Rocky Conklin's current Dogecoin balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the Dogecoin. If you adopted the Rocky Conklin, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Rocky Conklin's Dogecoin here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the Dogecoin by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the Dogecoin. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Rocky Conklin was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Rocky Conklin’s Dogecoin balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
"The fun and friendly internet currency."
Dogecoin sets itself apart from other digital currencies with an amazing, vibrant community made up of friendly folks just like you. Dogecoin is a decentralized, peer-to-peer digital currency that enables you to easily send money online.
Learn more about it on youtube or at dogecoin.com.
We want the Rocky Conklin’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Rocky Conklin’s balance will remain in our general Dogecoin fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
