Meet Rocco! If you're searching for a social, fun-loving partner-in-crime with boundless enthusiasm for life, Rocco is your guy Dog-Social Playmate: Rocco loves playing with other dogs here at the shelter! Because he's a high-energy player, we recommend a meet-and-greet with any resident dogs first to make sure they're the perfect play style match. Food-Motivated Learner: Rocco didn't get much guidance or enrichment in the past, so he's starting fresh on basic training. The great news? He is extremely food-motivated, which will make learning new manners a fun and rewarding bonding experience! Energy & Stamina: He's a true "bottle rocket" of energy who thrives on physical and mental exercise, but don't worry-after a great play session or long run, he tires out fast and is ready to relax. World-Class Cuddler: Once his energy is burned off, Rocco transforms into a total cuddle bug who loves nothing more than piling onto the couch next to you. Social & Loving: Rocco genuinely loves everyone he meets! Because he can get a little mouthy and overly enthusiastic when excited, we recommend a home with kids ages 12 and up who can comfortably enjoy his playful vibe. If you're ready for endless smiles, tail wags, and a loving best friend, come meet Rocco today! Ready to Adopt?
