About Rocco

Meet Rocco, a 2-year-old Pit Bull mix bursting with personality and charm. Weighing in at 70 pounds, Rocco is the perfect combination of strength and sweetness. He’s fond of adventures—hiking, running, or simply hanging out at home, he’s ready for it all, especially if there's cheese involved. Rocco’s journey hasn’t been easy, having been given away by a homeless man before being rescued by a Good Samaritan. Now, he’s looking for a family to call his own. He craves structure and companionship, and he’s great with older kids—though at 70 pounds, his excitement can lead to some enthusiastic jumping. While he gets along well with submissive dogs, Rocco needs a cat-free environment due to his prey drive. This gentle giant is house trained, crate trained, and fully vetted. Rocco doesn’t need fancy surroundings—just a loving home where he can thrive and be appreciated for the incredible dog that he is. Are you ready to bring Rocco into your family?
