Rocko - ADOPTION PENDING!!

Description

This gorgeous brindle boy is on his way to his Minnesota foster home on 4/11.  We are so thankful to his temporary Kentucky foster home for keeping him safe and happy until transport.Rocko's owner passed away and family could not keep him.  We were told that he is good with other dogs his size and also formerly lived with an older cat.  He has been the SWEETEST boy in his temp foster home and has gotten along with all dogs and cats there.  He also has done very well with kids and no jumping on them.  Rocko is housebroken and he is fully vetted.  4/24 UPDATE.....Hi, my name is Rocko and I am 5 years old but my foster mom says I act younger as I love love LOVE to play with toys, be where the family is at and play/run with other dogs!  I do have energy, so my foster mom has been taking me on 2 walks a day to help with this, otherwise I take it out on toys.  She says I need tough toys as I love to chew them and play tug of war.  I don’t chew on anything else in the house though.  I have visited the dogs next door and love running with them in their fenced in yard.  My foster mom has a cat, that obviously doesn’t care for me when I try to sniff him, so I leave him alone.  I do well in the kennel and dog beds but prefer to sleep with my humans and sit on the couch with them. Foster mom here: Rocko is doing great in our home. He loves to be around people and will follow us from room to room, so we are in sight.  He is a grazer when it comes to food but is finally starting to eat 2 meals/day.  He is learning to walk well on his leash and sit when we put the prong collar. He loves to drink from water bottles and faucet spigots. He would do well in a home with kids over 6 and another dog as he is always looking to play and interact. However, he is fine being the solo dog as long as there are plenty of toys. He would benefit from a fenced in yard so he can run and get some of his energy out.  If you do not have a fenced in yard, several walks are recommended.  Overall, he is a great boy who is very smart and learning commands and boundaries already!
