Rocco

Rocco is looking for an experienced and active owner who has had a large strong dog in the past. He would like access to his own private garden so he can enjoy some time outdoors in a safe area, and will need a home where he will have a company most of the time. Rocco may be able to live with older teenagers but needs to be the only pet in his home.

Rocco is a sweet and loving boy with the most beautiful smiley face. He has a lot of love to give and is very affectionate with those he knows best and thinks he is a big lap dog at times! He can be nervous, especially around new people and unknown dogs, so will require a dedicated owner who can commit to the continuing work on his socialisation and basic training. Rocco is very clever and so eager to please; he is working hard on his good manners and loves his training sessions, particularly when they involve him getting tasty treats.

He is full of energy and enjoys running around the paddock chasing a ball or getting the sand in between his toes on the beach. He would thoroughly enjoy hill walking where he can put his nose to good use, and he loves doing enrichment games that involve treats or a squeaky toy. Whilst Rocco can make doggy friends when introductions are managed well, he has shown some reactivity to other dogs in the past.

Rocco may need some work because he’s not had the best start, but he will bring a lot of joy in his new home and will be a very rewarding pet for a committed owner.
