Hi I'm Rocco, I am looking for my new forever best friend. My carer says I'm a pretty chilled dude, but I would like to be your only favourite fur friend, other dogs in the home can make me anxious and reactive.
I like to go for long walks, even though I'm not very fit. And I like to be the leader, so some extra leash training will be good. I can use the doggy door, sit before my meal and have great food manners.
I like to know where you are and check on you regularly. I'm hoping you will always be there, and would suit someone who is home a lot.
I'm not sure what to do with toys, but I have been known to throw my bone up and try to catch it and kick it around. I'm good when I have a bath, I love the body massage.
Things you need to know:
I have had many homes and carers, so I may be a little anxious when I first come home with you. I may become a bit protective of you, because I want you to be my person - so I will need an adopter who lets me know what behaviours are ok and not ok, but also respects my boundaries and doesn’t plunge me into situations where I’m likely to be reactive. I’m not the sort of dog that will let just anyone pat me, I need to know you and be comfortable with you. I would love it if I can be inside with you, but I manage by myself if you have to work (especially if you leave me a bone).
I am looking for a home where my people will understand that I need time to settle in.
Rocco is $350 to adopt and comes desexed, microchipped, C5 vaccinated, heartworm tested (negative), and given flea/tick/worm prevention.
