Here's what the humans have to say about me:
This dog's fosterhome is located in: Arnold, California
Rocco is a really special boy. He is about 2 years old, 15" tall, and very fit at 19 lbs. Rocco is very sweet and affectionate. He loves to romp and play with his foster siblings (three dogs and a cat) and really gets along with everyone. Rocco is very smart and obedient, and is learning basic skills with clicker training. He is great on his leash and loves to go on walks and meet new people; he's quite the mellow fellow! Rocco is good with kids ages 7 and up, as long as supervision is provided. He loves to play, cuddle, and give kisses. He is easygoing and doesn't startle easily. He enjoys being with his peson and definitely loves lap time and tummy rubs! Rocco is very close to being 100% housetrained, as long as he is kept on a schedule. He has recently mastered the doggie door. If you are looking for a well-balanced, easy going, smart, and affectionate dog, Rocco is the boy for you! To see more pictures of Rocco, please click here.
OUR ADOPTION FEE is $150 ($175 for puppies younger than 12 months; $200 for American Hairless Terriers).
QUESTIONS ABOUT ADOPTION? Read the "Adoption Process" section below!
IS THIS DOG AVAILABLE? If the bio above doesn't say that there's an adoption pending, then YES! he or she IS available. As soon as we approve an application, we'll post it, so you will NOT get more current info by emailing us to ask if the dog is available. To "get in line" to adopt or get more details, you MUST CLICK HERE to submit an Adoption Application.
QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS DOG? The email address on this page is for website-related issues ONLY. For answers to specific questions about a particular dog, you MUST submit an Adoption Application! That is the only way to access the fosterparent for this particular dog, who is the only person who can answer specifics about this dog's personality or geographic location. (Our dogs are located in private fosterhomes around the state, and we do not provide those addresses on the Internet or to casual inquiries, and you cannot just "drop by" to see a dog without prearranging it with the fosterhome.) Because we are an all-volunteer organization and receive a very high volume of inquiries, we can only respond personally to people who have demonstrated a serious interest in adoption by filling out our application.
