169316 Rocco

My story

WHAT A SMILE -- WHAT A BOY! ROCCO - 7 years old, 59 pounds, house trained, playful, scared of cats ROCCO is a sweet, happy and playful boy who was surrendered when his family was moving and could not take him along. Although he had been with this family 6 years, almost his whole life, he is not letting this change of plans bring him down. He is ready to run and play, get treats and go for walks which he is used to going several times daily. This being said, we are also told Rocco sleeps a lot and is very easy going at home. He likes to poop in bushes (SILLY) and loves to cuddle. Rocco plays with toys of all kinds, plush, squeaky, tug and balls. In the yard when we met, he found a tennis ball and that was it!  LOL He ran around and around with that tennis ball. I traded him a treat for the ball when I wanted to throw it for him.  Rocco is dog social but only if given slow introductions. He will not start a fight but will finish it if provoked. He is terrified of cats, is friendly and playful with children but has not lived with them. Rocco is picky with his food and will only eat if there is freeze dried kibble on top. There you go. One last little tidbit about our boy, Rocco, is that he has killed a goose. The goose was hissing at him first which was fine. When the goose started coming after him, Rocco reacted.  Rocco is currently in our medium dog adoption kennel so come out to meet him!Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.July 15, 2025, 2:58 pm
