My story

Meet Rocco — Your New Best Friend (and Professional Goofball)! 🎉 If you’re looking for a happy, playful, snuggly pup with a big personality and an even bigger heart, Rocco is your guy! This sweet boy is equal parts cuddle buddy and playtime pro, and he’s always ready to bring the fun. Rocco loves walks, naps, play sessions with dog friends, and treats (especially treats). He’s fully housetrained, walks calmly and confidently on leash, and does great out and about—dog parks included! Car rides? He’s excited and curious, ready for his next adventure. At home, Rocco is an affection machine. He seeks out pets, leans in for cuddles, and is happiest when he’s close to his people. He’s also great with kids and enjoys gentle, positive attention. Crates aren’t really his thing, but he does just fine using a baby gate and settles in nicely. Rocco would love a home with another playful dog around his age—he enjoys having a buddy to romp around with. He’s had a bit of goofy humping behavior in the past, but that has already improved with time and structure. Like many dogs, Rocco has a few quirks that make him uniquely him. He may bark when someone knocks or when he hears activity outside (he takes his neighborhood watch duties seriously), and he has some food guarding, so being fed separately and having a confident, dog-savvy adopter will help him shine. ✨ Rocco’s highlights: 🐾 Good with dogs 🏡 Housetrained 🧡 Super affectionate & snuggly 🎾 Playful, goofy, and fun 🚶 Calm on leash & loves walks 🗣️ Chatty, communicative, and full of personality If you want a dog who will make you laugh, keep you company, and happily curl up beside you after a day of play, Rocco is ready to be your forever plus-one. Come meet him—you might just fall in love 💙🐾

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