ROCKO

My story

URGENT: Rocko Needs You!Meet Rocko, an 11-month-old pit mix who is currently at risk and urgently needs your help! This sweet boy is feeling the weight of kennel stress, and his heart aches for the warmth and love of a forever home. Shelters can be daunting places for animals, and while Rocko waits for his second chance, he’s dreaming of a life filled with cuddles, playtime, and companionship. He’s still in his learning stages and would thrive with a little guidance and some consistent human interaction. Rocko prefers calm canine friends, as energetic pups can be overwhelming for him. He simply wants a space where he can blossom and be himself. Rocko had a day of pampering and love! He showed his true colors outside the shelter—full of joy and affection.------------------------- Here`s a recap of his day out: Oh my goodness, Rocko is a bundle of joy and oh-so-sweet! He hops right into the kennel, settling down quietly without a peep. Rocko is calm and confident during bath time and even let me dremel his nails with ease. He’s definitely in his chewing phase, playfully grabbing a sneaker and bouncing around with it! With some toys of his own, he’ll learn what’s okay to chew.He walks great on a leash, frequently checking in with his handler. My 13-year-old took him for a run, and it was heartwarming to watch Rocko look back for guidance. He is full of puppy energy. Just Imagine watching your kiddo take him for a run; their bond will surely fill your heart with joy! Rocko`s youthful exuberance means he might accidentally knock over little ones in his quest for love and snuggles, so he’d do best in a home with older kids who can handle his playful nature. He loves people, especially kids, wiggling with joy when he sees them. Rocko knows how to sit and takes treats gently, and he adores cuddling in your lap for snuggles. He might be fine with a cat, but supervision is a must due to his playful nature.We had such a blast with our handsome Rocko!
