About Rocco

Meet Rocco. This 4-month-old Labrador/Hound mix exudes sweetness and gentleness. While he's a bit shy and timid at first, he quickly seeks refuge in your arms once he feels safe. On his very first day in foster care, Rocco nestled up to his foster mom and drifted off to dreamland, clearly content in her embrace. He enjoys playful moments with his brother and foster sisters, but just as quickly, he shifts to nap mode after about 20 minutes of fun. When he lets loose, Rocco's hound side comes out with an adorable, long bark that'll make you smile. Currently, he is fostered in New Port Richey, alongside his brother Nico. Rocco craves patience, security, and love from his future family. In return, he will give all of his heart—and probably a few nap times in your arms too. Start your journey together! Apply now.
