My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

****Foster to Adopt is an option****

Meet Rocco aka Chunky Monkey!

Rocco is looking for love! He loves human touch,  whether it be a belly rub or a foot to lie on. He is very smart and trainable, food-motivated and people pleasing. He enjoys his quiet time in his crate and goes in eagerly when he needs a rest. He loves relaxing music, which instantly calms him when he gets excited. Surprisingly, he does not bark or get agitated at the garbage truck outside, dogs passing by or the doorbell ringing. He was quite calm when repairmen were inside the house.
Rocco seems to tolerate and enjoy all foods and is best fed out of a big deep bowl. He is quite the sloppy eater and drinker! He is completely house-trained and can go for long periods without a mishap. He is a chewer but can be distracted and redirected to appropriate chew toys. Thankfully, he does not chew on any toy or bedding in his crate! 
He is friendly toward all the human residents in our home, but now that he's recovered from the knee surgery, he needs a home with active residents who can show him some fun! 

Rocco wants to share his rescue story with you:
A while back, I was homeless and wandering the streets of LA when I got hit by a car and ended up in a scary shelter, where I sat for a whole month with a severely fractured leg. That’s when my friends at OPR came to my rescue and got me the expensive surgery I desperately needed. I've recovered nicely   and now I hope to find a foster or foster-to-adopt home who is ready to take me out on adventures and show me some fun!  I’m a very sweet young boy who gets along with cats, dogs of all sizes, and all humans. I love belly rubs, tug of war games, and giving kisses.   

If you want to meet me, please contact OPR.
