My story

Calling all dog lovers! Come meet Rocko! Rocko is a loving and playful neutered male, medium mixed breed - likely Australian shepherd in his mix. 3-4 years old. He has a beautiful color and coat. This handsome boy is also a very smart dog! He will aim to please and listens to commands! Some commands Rocko is really good at are Sit, Down, Lay down, Give paw, Wait, stay, and Up When he sees the leash he springs up high into the air with joy! Rocko has big energy and would be great in a home where he receives a lot of attention and love and plenty of walks or time to run in the yard. He would return that love in abundance. Rocko loves to cuddle and gives free kisses!! He has strong recall and responds well to training with treats. He responds well to a strong No or Leave it if he gets rambunctious. He is playful and well behaved with other dogs. He needs an owner who will properly introduce him to other dogs. It could take few minutes of correction and patience depending on the dog he's meeting. He has been in a foster home with several other dogs and fits right into the pack once introduced. Rocko loves his crate and easily goes in it to sleep. He is housebroken and can be left at home while you're out of the house or at work all day. He is not destructive when he is left out of the crate. Rocko is currently being fostered in southwestern CT. Rocko is a dream dog for someone who is looking for a sweet and active companion to go on adventures with. Rocko is fully vetted, neutered, micro chipped, and ready to go home with YOU! If you can open your heart & home to dear Rocko, please contact Brittany with Pound_Puppy_Refuge IG: @Pound_Puppy_Refuge call/text: 203-520-7572 Apply to adopt Rocko at AmsterDog.org/application. Thanks for caring about a pet in need!

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Rocko, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
