Please welcome Rocky 
This handsome youngster has only recently arrived at the Home, and he is still a little unsettled, so we kept our date short and sweet.
Rocky is only a year old, and he's a little on the slender side. Rocky is a young adolescent and has some growing and filling out to do. He was verrrrrry eager to taste our treats and we're not sure whether his rather casual disregard for fingers was because he was hungry, or because he hasn't fully grasped the concept of gentle manners. So we were sure to dispense Rocky's tit-bits on the floor, rather than from our hands
The staff will prefer a breed experienced home for Rocky. Northern breeds are definitely not the dog for a first time pet owner. They need lots of exercise, and most responsible northern breed owners never let them off-lead, as they have been genetically engineered to rise with the sun, find the horizon, and keep running! Huskies are also known to have a high prey drive, so homes with small furries are probably not a good idea.
For more information please phone the Dogs' Home: 029 2071 1243 or visit Cardiff Dogs' Home, Westpoint Industrial Estate, Penarth Road, open 7 days a week, 10.30 - 4pm.

But I don't think it was...
My partner did make sure he didn't let Rocky pull him around too much though, as he needs a bit of discipline he's missed out on in his puppy-hood. I am sure no one stopped him from climbing up furniture, for example, because as soon as we reached the tables & benches in the park his first step was to jump straight onto the table and look majestic in the sun.
While it was funny for us, I am sure it will be a challenge to overcome at home. Rocky has the potential to find his inner silly Husky spirit, but at the moment he just feels a bit distanced & non-socialised. The right person will definitely be able to socialise & teach him the basics though! Rocky is so young! If you are at a point in your life where you have the time to bring up a young Husky from his first years, you will be in for a treat! I don't think it's necessary to even mention how gorgeous he is too...
