About Rocco
All About Me and My Unique Personality:
Rocco is a playful, affectionate and friendly pup. He does not bark. He is friendly to all visitors and loves to be patted and rubbed. He is great with children.
Rocco had an issue with an existing pug dog when he was first adopted to a family with children. He was great with children but because of the issue with the pug he was returned to Hunter Animal Rescue.
He has been fostered with his Merewether family for 4 weeks. He is fine with other dogs and likes to run and make friends at the Bar Beach off-leash dog area. He is so friendly and attracts other dog owners at the park who like to pat and give him a tummy rub. He is always rolling over for a tummy rub.
My Ideal Home:
A fenced home with an outdoor grassed area. He is happy being an outdoor dog and he does not bark or whine when left alone. He would be best as an only dog as he had an issue with his previous family's pug dog. He is fine socialising with other dogs off the leash at the dog park.
What is Known About My Background:
Rocco was returned from his previous Central Coast family after they had him for 7 months. They said he was a lovely dog and great with the young children who adored him. He was an inside and outside dog. They informed me (his current Foster parent) that he was great with other dogs and he was toiled trained.
An issue developed with the existing pet pug after Rocco returned from a walk. So the family decided to return him.
He has been with his foster family for 3-4 weeks. We have kept him outside and he has been happy with that. He loves two walks a day and playing with other dogs at the dog park. He is loved by all our visitors and he rolls over for a tummy rub and is very affectionate. Like most puppies (now more an adolescent) he is energetic and loves his walks.
We are surprised that he does not bark or whine. He makes a great pet and we have fallen in love with him. We only committed to fostering Rocco and will be happy to seen him go to a new family home where he will bring much joy.
How Do I Interact with Kids, Dogs, Cats and Other Pets:
Rocco is friendly, affectionate and loves people. He is fine with kids who love his looks and he is always eager for a pat and tummy rub. He is fine with other dogs at the off-leash dog park and loves to play and run about. He likes to chase a ball too. We do not know his compatibility with cats or other pets. He had an issue with his previous families existing pug, so he may be better as an only dog.
