Rocco

Description

FOSTER UPDATE: Meet Rocco! Rocco is a handsome, affectionate and cuddly 5-year-old Lab Retriever/Terrier mix looking for a loving forever home after his owner was arrested. We rescued him from Orange County shelter. A few things to know about Rocco: Appears well socialized and gets along with everyone. With a slow/proper introduction, Rocco is doing well with the foster’s yorkie and hound mix dogs as well as their cat. He wants to always be next to you and loves cuddling on the couch or a cushy chair. Goes outside to potty, but is not energetic in the yard.  Loves car rides and travels nicely.  Likes walks but pulls in his eagerness at beginning of a walk. His harness is lessening the pulling.  He needs consistent training and a strong owner. He is intelligent and food motivated, which makes training so much easier. He is learning how to play less roughly and it is best there are no small children in the home that he could knock down when playing. He does well when being crated when his owner is away.. Be prepared for a happy doggie welcome whenever you return home from errands.  Special care: Since Rocco has atopic dermatitis, he will just need a medication called NUMELVI and regular calming baths to keep him comfortable.   But not to worry…this amazing boy sits nicely for his bath, ear cleaning , etc.  He is such a well-behaved dog. Rocco’s ideal home will be one where he is slowly introduced to any pets in the home, no small children, where he can have lots of time spent next to his humans, lots of naps on cushy furniture, an owner who will attend to his dermatitis as well as be willing to refine his play and walking skills.  In return, you will have the most incredibly loving and sweet companion.
