Owner Info: Rocky is a young lab/pit mix who is currently being fostered by a rescue but he needs someone knowledgeable about blind dogs who can help him adjust. He has been with the rescue about two and a half years and has been in two different foster homes but neither has been a good fit. Rocky was rescued from the county animal control and they found him wandering the streets.

Rocky is an indoor dog confined to one area of the house. He is micro-chipped. He is house-broken and leash-trained. He has not had formal training but he knows the commands, sit and shake hands. He is outgoing and good with men, women, and teenagers. Rocky is not possessive of toys, treats, or food and has never shown aggression towards people. However, if another dog bumps or runs into him, Rocky will “grump” at him. The rescue says this is what he needs help with. The rescue also says that Rocky has adapted well to new surroundings when he has been moved.
