My story

Name: Rocco (20241016-22)Age: 3 years Weight: approx. 40lbsGender: MaleSpayed/Neutered: YesBreed: Aussie mixColour: MerleNeck size (for collar):Height (from top of head):Length (from nose to base of tail):Crate size recommended:Good with women: yes Good with men: yes Good with kids: yesGood with other dogs: yesGood with cats: not sure House trained: yes, as long as he is on a schedule. Crate trained: yesEnergy level: mediumCan be handled/touched: yes Barker: only when he needs to go pottyFlight risk: possibly in the beginning Food aggressive: no, not with humans but fed separate from other pups Walks on leash: yes Leash reactive: no Destructive: noRides well in car: yes Needs a home with a yard: preferredNeeds a home with another dog: no but loved dogs Can live in an apartment: basement apartment or townhome would be fineAdditional info: This is Rocco. He's been here since February 5th. He is super sweet and super loving. He absolutely LOVESSS going for walks and being outside. He'd run around all day if he could. But unfortunately here he doesn't get the chance to do that as much as he could in a forever home. He is potty trained as long as you take him out on a schedule. He has never ever pooped in my house only pee accidents because I couldn't get him out quick enough. He loves to play with other dogs, but I like to feed him separately from the others as he doesnt like to share his food. We are working on this and he is learning quickly that he has a constant food source and doesnt need to protect his food from others. He is amazing in his crate and is overall just a happy go lucky boy. Please visit our website niagaradogrescue.com to learn more about this amazing pet and to see other available dogs.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Rocco (20241016-22), please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
