About Rocco

Rocco is a certified good boy, and he aims to win your heart in the simplest way possible. Around 3 years old and weighing in at about 50 lbs, he may be a mixed breed, but his desire to be a lapdog is crystal clear. At his size, Rocco insists he's meant to curl up right in your lap, no matter what the vet might say about his weight. With captivating eyes that seem to look right into your soul, Rocco is all about affection, toys, and getting involved in everything happening around him. He’s eager for playtime with other dogs and walks nicely on a leash, never dragging you behind. Although his affection for cats is apparent, they typically make a quick exit when they see him coming, leaving their relationship as an ongoing negotiation. Rocco is fully vetted, vaccinated, neutered, and up to date on all flea, tick, and heartworm prevention. While he might be a bit of a mystery when it comes to kids, he has shown no aggression towards anyone at the shelter. It’s clear that Rocco just needs one person willing to give him a chance to show what a lover he truly is. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
