Pet of the Month
Meet Rockwell
Rockwell is always ready to rock and roll! This spunky puppy loves to play and be active. At times when he can’t be running around, he enjoys mental stimulation in the form of puzzle feeders, snuffle mats, and kongs. Being a puppy, Rockwell naturally still needs a lot of training. Luckily, he is very food motivated and is willing to go wherever the treats are.
