Rocko

Meet Rocko - The Adventure-Seeking, Cuddle-Loving Best Mate You've Been Waiting For!

Rocko is the whole package: charming, gentle, playful, and affectionate. With his Harrier x Heeler mix, he carries the best qualities of both breeds - a gorgeous blend of sharp intelligence, loyal companionship, and a love for activity and exploration.

Rocko is a bright, happy soul who quickly bonds with his people. He's incredibly affectionate and will happily curl into you for pats, snuggles, or any moment of gentle reassurance. He's the type of dog who looks at you like you're the best thing he's ever seen - every single day.

Rocko also has an adventurous spark - he adores being out and about, exploring new scents, taking in the world, and enjoying outings with his humans. Whether it's a bush walk, a weekend adventure, or just a wander around the neighbourhood, this boy is always ready to join in!

Rocko gets along beautifully with other dogs. He enjoys friendly play and would make a fantastic companion for another well-matched pup. He's social without being over-the-top, and he reads other dogs' cues politely and calmly. If you already have a resident dog looking for a playmate or a snuggle buddy, Rocko could be the perfect fit.

That said, he's JUST as happy to be someone's one-and-only dog - as long as he has a human bestie to share his adventures (and couch snuggles) with. He's versatile, easygoing, and loves connection of any kind.

To book a meet and greet with Rocko, please phone 5441-2209 or email barcreception@bendigo.vic.gov.au .
