Hey! This is my dog, Rocko.
I adopted Rocko back in 2012 from the Animal Humane Society. He was a
"forget-me-not" that was at the shelter for
about 90+ days. The volunteers said that he was too energetic for most
to handle and have been in two different homes at this point.
There was just something about this boy. We played with him for hours,
until the volunteer told us we had about 30min until closing time. There
was just no way we were going to have him spend another night in a
shelter.
My boyfriend and sped to the pet store to pick up a collar, leash and
some essentials and went back before closing to pick him up.
The rest is history - This American Staffordshire + English Springer
Spaniel + Pug mix was going to be ours. โฅ๏ธ
๐This gal is Leeloo.
Leeloo is a purebred Australian Cattle Dog - More specifically, a
Blue Heeler. I adopted her back in 2021, in the height of the
Pandemic. My boyfriend was in love with the dog from the movie "Mad
Max" and when we saw her on the shelter's website, we had to make an
appointment to see her!
At first she was oblivious to us because her foster mom had a ball
in her hand. Leeloo is OBSESSED with the ball. She
will not taker her eyes off of it. Leeloo also wasn't fond of Rocko
at first so we didn't think it would workout...
Thankfully, she warmed up and is now good pals with Rocko. Their
play style is so similar and it makes me laugh. She's a handful, but
on those good days, it's so worth all of the training and
heartaches!
