Please contact Bill Hahn (BillH@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.sweet boy ready to play! ROCCO NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!! Name: Rocco Best Guess for Breed: Lab/Retriever mix Best Guess for Age: 1 year as of April 2024 SEX: Male Approximate Weight: 35 lbs Gets Along With: Other dogs! We haven't seen Rocco with kids but he can be tested. Rocco currently lives with cats in his foster home. Currently Living at: DC area foster home Check out this video of Rocco: https://youtube.com/shorts/Bjr9fAbgNeA. Special adoption considerations: When Rocco arrived in the shelter, he was pretty nervous and scared. We think Rocco would do best with either a resident dog or a family who live in a quiet environment and can make sure he can go on walks regularly with other dogs, visit the dog park, or go to doggie daycare to continue to build confidence. Rocco is Looking For: His forever family! This young boy hasn't seen nearly enough of the world yet and is eager to have his own humans to explore it with! Long sniffy walks - romps in the park - all the adventures they can dream up - THAT is his ultimate goal. Right now, though, he can be kinda nervous in new environments and needs extra patient and loving adopters who will help show him all those new places at his pace. (He's young too, so definitely wants plenty of activity.) Seeing other dogs around will help as well -they will show him how to dog! Obedience school will help build his braves too. The shelter says he's such a happy, joyful young boy - he's got that super excited 'I love you!' energy in his body whenever he meets people he knows already. He really wants to have his own humans and know he is safe and loved and under his own roof. In exchange he has SO many happy tail wags, adoring gazes, and joyful leaps - and so much loyal companionship - to offer. What do you say? Is Rocco the active companion you see by your side? What My Foster Says About Me: He loves to play with the water hose. He is VERY VERY food motivated and loves all kinds of treats. Loves to play with toys, loves tug of war and will cuddle if you call him over. He loves to sniff everything inside and outside and he goes in a crate when we sleep. Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken. All of our dogs are working on their crate training.
