✨ Meet Rocco! ✨ This charming little character is approximately 4 years old, weighing in at a delightful under 15 lbs, and he's got that adorable floofy mix of terrier and poodle—we're just guessing, but can you blame us? 😄 When Rocco first meets new people, he puts on a bit of a tough act, barking like a mini bodyguard! But don’t be fooled; once he bonds with you, he’s an absolute cuddle bug who adores outdoor walks and road trips with his favorite humans. 🚙🌼 Now, Rocco has his quirks—he prefers dining solo and thrives best in a calm adult home. He’ll let you know when he’s ready for some snuggles, so patience is key! 🧘‍♂️ As for his interactions with other dogs? Well, let’s just say he’s got a vocal strategy for dealing with them—he barks to keep them at bay before they can scare him off. But don’t worry, he has a heart full of love waiting to blossom once he warms up! ❤️ Oh, and medically? Rocco’s got a bit of a complicated backstory. His previous owners never took him to the vet, even when he suffered a severe back injury, leaving him temporarily paralyzed. Thankfully, with some rest, he bounced back—mostly. However, he still experiences some wobbliness in his hind legs, so he prefers to walk on softer surfaces like grass to feel secure. 🏞️ It’s essential for him to avoid jumping on and off furniture and climbing stairs to keep his back safe. 💔 He’s also dealt with some gastrointestinal issues that led to a diagnosis of IBD, but he’s doing remarkably well thanks to a strict prescription diet and medication! This little dude may not be easy to care for, but let me tell you, the bond you will form with Rocco is profoundly meaningful—it’s like finding a hidden treasure! 💖 So if you think you’re the special person who can devote time and love to this quirky pup, you simply must submit your application to meet him through the Buddy App! Rocco is waiting for that exceptional connection. 🌟 🏷️ Primary Color: White 🏷️ Secondary Color: Grey 🔔 Age: 4 years, 6 months 💼 This animal has been neutered!
