My story

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

Hi! I’m Rocco. I’m looking for a ROCC solid partner for life.

About me: Thanks for clicking on my profile! I am about 6 years old and a very good boy. DAS picked me up as a stray. In my kennel there, I offered my awesome squeaky toys to so many people as they walked by. Luckily, my foster person saw me there and recognized how smart and sweet I am. She offered to give me a place to live until I could find you – my perfect pal!

She says I am ROCC solid at house training. I guess that’s because I never have accidents in the house and I’ll let you know when I need to go out.

Favorite Actor: Dwayne ‘The ROCC’ Johnson. Because we both look like big muscular baddies, but…SURPRISE…we’re actually gentle softies at heart. And we’re both pretty funny guys sometimes.

Favorite way to ROCC out: Oh wow, I love chasing a ball and bringing it back. Not to brag, but I know drop, sit, and stay which make fetch awesome. I also know shake and ‘kennel up.’ I’ve heard my foster person call me ‘medium energy’. I don’t know what this means because I’m all high energy when we’re playing, but totally crashed when it’s time to rest. I sleep like a ROCC all night.

Nickname: My foster person calls me BLOCC head because when I do my happy smile, my head looks like one big square! I’m pretty sure she means it as a joke because she also says I’m super smart and learn things quickly. I can’t help it, I’m an observant kind of guy. And I am so eager to make you happy.

Favorite form of transportation: I love to go on a nice WOCC and I do great on a leash. Do you jog? Because I bet I’d love that. But I also like a good ride in the car. Turn up those jams!

Other people/dogs: Look, I love anyone who wants to pay attention to me! I’m not scared when new people approach me. I love playing with other dogs and while I have a rough and vocal play style, it’s not like I’ve sent anyone to the DOCC. I take clues from my foster brother about when needs a break or doesn’t want to give up a toy. And this is a real sacrifice because man do I love toys! Could we get a ton, please?

Kids/Cats: I’m also totally cool with kids, but they should LOCC up their stuffed animals, because I will definitely collect all those for myself. And when I’m happy my big ole tail gets to swinging! I hope I don’t KNOCC over any very small people, it’s happened before. I’m not sure how I feel about cats yet since I haven’t seen any in a whil
