Rocco

My story

Sweet Rocco, with his giant smile, is ready for adoption. Rocco had a lot of stress at being abandoned by his family: Adopted as a puppy... but left behind when they moved away. His whine was soft and pitiful, his eyes were so sad. His sweet and affectionate nature has stayed intact, however. Thanks to a generous donor, he was placed in boarding, learning good manners so that a new family would love him forever and always keep him safe. But boarding is not a family!!!! He’s spent a year waiting. Learning. Healing. Showing us who he is. And what we know is simple: Rocco wants to be your one and only. Rocco is very affectionate and loves to cuddle. He is crate-trained and never barks or whines while in his crate. Rocco is heartworm negative and on heartworm prevention. Although he gets along with other dogs, he wants to be the alpha male, that's why he should be an only dog. . Even though Rocco learned good manners, he needs an experienced adopter, someone used to this breed Then there was a moment… a real chance. A weekend trial run. He crushed it. He was cuddly, fun, playful, he was p.e.r.f.e.c.t ! But their HOA said no, no pit bulls in their community. So, Rocco is still here. Still waiting. Still hoping. If you’ve ever thought about being someone’s whole world, this is your chance. If you’re looking for an incredible, loyal companion and are open to a one-dog household, Rocco could be your perfect match. *** If you'd like to make this pet part of your family, please fill out an online application today: https://form.jotform.com/230546381070147 ***
