ROCKY NEEDS a Forever Home!
This sweet and happy big guy loves to play fetch, or at least walk around wagging his tail with a ball in his mouth. ROCKY is always overlooked at the shelter and we don’t know why. ROCKY is a black lab mix but he's definitely not all lab.  Maybe greyhound or something else that's tall and skinny and very short-haired.  He'd love to be a desert hiking buddy but once he has had a little exercise, he is just as happy laying on a couch. ROCKY loves affection, does not jump up on people, and would be happy to join a family with another dog.  He has been at the shelter for 8 months and is desperate for a home of his own! AAS is open M-F from 10am to 6pm (closed 1-2pm), located on the east side of Alpine on Old Marathon Road. ROCKY (and all) AAS animals are on Petfinder at: https://www.petfinder.com/petdetail/31196679/    For more info email: heatherthemule@gmail.com
