Rocco

My story

Rocco's Story Meet Rocco. He came to my house last week for an evaluation.... and I liked him so much I asked if he could spend the weekend while I got to know him a little better. He's a big lug of a guy with an even bigger heart. Rocco is a calm guy, nervous at first in a new environment, but tries his best. He loves to plop his bum right into the lap of his person, snuggle on the couch, and keep watch out of the window. He is a quiet guy. Sometimes off to himself, sometimes joining folks on the couch. I suspect he will be fine with cats, but since each cat is an individual, a meet and greet would be critical. He walks and hangs out with some other dogs. I have seen no prey drive from Rocco, instead, he has sat and watched the birds and squirrels in my window feeder. We are working on crate training and stairs. At present, stairs are a little too scary for Rocco. Rocco has some allergies that are controlled with over the counter medications. Rocco is a resident of Scituate Shetler where he is a staff and volunteer favorite. Unfortunately he has been there since January, so they asked us to help them get him seen by someone who will want to take him home and love him forever. We are grateful they did, "to know Rocco is to love him". Rocco comes with a Handsome Dan's Rescue Take My Lead grant entitling him to up to $500 in private training and supplies.
