This little man is the last of his litter! Rocket Dog Rescue saved a mama dog and her 5 puppies from a local shelter and we have been lucky to find great homes quickly! Hollywood is doing great in foster while he waits for his forever home.
We estimate him to be a pit bull mix and expect him to be around 50 pounds when full grown. Hollywood is almost 4 months old and his sweet & playful personality has been a joy to watch develop!
Hollywood would love a home that’s committed to being with him most of the time, especially for the next several months while he’s still learning how to be a good boy. He would love to have a doggie buddy at home to play with and learn from.
Before you submit your application for one of our cute, button faces please take a moment to read and think about the following:
- Training your puppy: When it comes to any puppy, think about what the dog is being encouraged to do now and ask yourself if this will be wanted behavior when the puppy is bigger and stronger. So while it may be adorable when a tiny puppy jumps up on people for attention, climbs up onto the couch and gnaws on people’s hands, that behavior isn’t so cute when the puppy is adult size, with adult teeth.
- Plan to take basic training classes with your new dog. A class builds the skills for the dog and creates lasting bonds with his or her new family
- Socializing: Have puppies meet as many nice people and other animals as possible to learn and keep great social skills. Protect them from bad experiences. Fear causes many dogs to become defensive, and defensive behavior is seen as aggression.
Hollywood, wants to know: Are you ready for a full time job with me? Are you committed to cleaning, training and socializing me for the rest of my life? If you are ready for puppyhood (like seriously, being home every 2-3 hours), I would love to meet you. Please fill out an application and a volunteer will contact you. (MM/KF)
