My personality

Why I need a new home

Fostered

My story

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

Hello! My name is Rocco. I was rescued from behind a fast food stop. I was in a bad way medically from not being taken care of very well. My foster mom found me and could not leave me behind once I showed her how sweet I was. She brought me home and fostered me for over a WHOLE year until I was in much better health. Unfortunately, my foster mom has 2 other big dogs that she loves as much as me. So as a family we are looking for a great loving home for Rocco. Rocco is a darling dog, he does not quite know his size (102 lbs), plays fetch/tug-of-war, drinks and eats like a medium sized dog, will catch mice who intrude on his space, great personality for an animal, and he just WANTS to be LOVED. He loses out on some attention because of the others. We are looking for good people who understand he has been through some bad stuff. Please feel free to contact w/ any questions. REALLY want a good home ASAP and willing to get him there, wherever “there” may be.
