Brock is a very handsome older dog who has not had the best of life, but we are committed to finding him a home where he will know what living the good life is all about!  Brock has had a taste of good living with his current foster family and it shows.  When he arrived with our rescue, Brock was missing quite a bit of fur and was very sick.  His fur has now grown in nicely and he truly is quite the handsome dog :-)  Brock was also heartworm positive when he arrived.  He has successfully completed his heartworm treatments and has been cured, however, he will need to remain on heartworm preventative for the remainder of his life.  Please keep this in mind if you are wanting to adopt him as this is mandatory.

Brock is a senior dog...probably around 8 years old...but, you would never know it!  He has the energy and stamina of a much younger dog.  His foster family loves to hike and now that Brock is done with his heartworm treatments...he gets to accompany the family on hikes and loves it!!!  They can take him off leash and not have to worry about him running off as he sticks close to them. He does well on a leash, but prefers to be off leash.  Brock is quite the smart dog and no surprise there with him being a shepherd mix!  We are not sure how he is with other dogs and would recommend a meet and greet.  He has been around another young male dog at times and can be snappy.  As for cats....he loves to chase them and is pretty persistant...so, a home without cats may be best!

Brock loves kids of all ages!  He does bark if someone is at the door, but has yet to meet a stranger.  This smart boy is also familiar with commands and some tricks.  He truly is a wonderful dog and even though a senior ...still has time left that he is hoping to share with a loving family!!  Could you be that family?

Brock is neutered and up to date on his vaccines.  If you are interested in this handsome boy, please complete an application on our website at www.worthytails.rescuegroups.org.  For any questions, please send an email to Deb at dbolger@bolgerremodeling.com. 

Thank you for wanting to rescue a dog!
