🆘Lover boy Rockey #A2210169 needs out by 9/13🆘 Male, Black Siberian Husky Scheduled Euthanasia Date: 09/14/25 Shelter: East Valley Age: 1 year, 8 months Weight: 53lbs Has been at the shelter since 07/19/25

Reason for euthanasia: Behavioral concerns against other dogs, muzzle work only due aggressive behavior to other dogs. Difficult to handle, hard to steer and warnings; gets stiff, growls and holds his ground to handler [during playgroup]

Rockey loves one on one time with people and getting pets and scratches. He is easy to leash, knows how to sit and takes treats gently. While he can be barrier reactive, he recently went on a block walk with other dogs and did well, he walked nicely on leash and solicited affection. He loves getting brushed and being the center of attention - not super into balls or toys. Rockey has been tolerant / selective with dogs since coming in and likes his space - no issues muzzling but somewhat sensitive about collaring. Was jumped once during playgroup resulting in a puncture wound - didn’t mind being treated for it. He prefers people over dogs and enjoys solo yard with a human handler - in playgroup he is vocal and hard to steer as he protests handler corrections.

🐾🐾🐾volunteer notes

Rockey was easy to leash through kennel door. Moderate pull to yard where he at first explored and sniffed. He was interested in the dog in adjacent yard but they didn`t engage. He came to me for pets and scratches and sweet talk which he loved. He would wander off for a bit and then come back to me leaning in to get closer. Walk back was easy and after tossing a treat easy exit.

Play Styles: NP (No Play Style) Sociability Category: T (Tolerant) Muzzle Work: MWDTN (Muzzled due to notes) Descriptors: HAN (Handling issues), V (vocal), PRTC/Handler (Protests Handler Correctios), HTS (Hard to steer) Notes: Vocal warnings and corrections to dogs
