About Roco

Meet Roco! This lively guy is bound to keep his future family laughing and on their toes. Recently rescued from a rural shelter alongside his brother Carmin, Roco is a large mixed-breed puppy, currently about 4 months old and around 30 pounds. There's a good chance he's going to grow even bigger! Roco is the energetic one, thriving on squeaky toys, treat puzzles, and any chewable item in sight. He's smart and very food motivated, which should help with training. Despite his busy nature, he's a sensitive pup who takes a little time to warm up to new people. When he first arrived in foster care, he was hesitant about interactions, but he quickly learned that humans can be great. That said, he's a bit of a barker when excited, which makes him a better fit for homes with space rather than apartments. Roco is progressing well with crate training and is making strides in potty training, so his new family should be prepared to help him along that journey. Roco will thrive in an environment that offers patience and support as he builds his confidence. Once he feels safe, expect a wonderful mix of fun, energy, and personality. If you enjoy goofy dogs that keep things lively, Roco could be the right match for you! Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
