My story

Meet Rocko: Your Future Retired Bodyguard At 80 pounds of pure German Shepherd glory, Rocko is a 6-year-old gentleman looking for a retirement home where he can finally kick up his paws and relax in style. He’s housebroken, heartbreakingly handsome, and has loved everyone he’s met at the shelter. He’s basically that gruff-but-lovable grandpa who secretly cries during commercials and just wants someone to share snacks with. Rocko is looking for a calm home—no little kids running around, please. Older kids who understand the vibe of “don’t poke the bear while he’s napping” are just fine. He's earned his peace and quiet, and we fully support his dream of napping in sunbeams and judging squirrels from a comfy couch. July 24, 2025, 9:10 am

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.
