Rocko Richie

My story

Why Rescue? Because Every Dog Deserves a Second Chance When you adopt a rescue dog, you’re not just saving a life but changing it forever. Rocko Richie is living proof of why second chances matter. Rescued from an overcrowded shelter in Mississippi, Rocko was at risk simply because there wasn’t enough space. But today, he’s safe… and waiting for someone to show him what forever really feels like. Rocko is: Gentle and calm Friendly with people and other dogs A little shy at first, but full of quiet love He’s the kind of dog who doesn’t ask for much—just kindness, patience, and a place to belong. In return, he’ll give you loyalty, gratitude, and a bond that only a rescue dog can offer. All dogs will be altered, microchipped, and receive age-appropriate vaccines prior to adoption.
