Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Are you looking for a big sweet boy to add to your family? Well look no further as Rocco is here! This big boy just loves to be around people he is familiar with and just wants to be loved. He does have a goofy side and will pounce on his toys when playing. He can't wait to find his fur-ever home where he can love on his people all day.
**Rocco has a discounted adoption fee to help find him his furrever home! Please note that applicants are still required to follow our adoption process and meet the requirements of this pet in order to be approved to adopt**
~ Rocco is looking for an active home that will be able to bring him on lots of adventures ~ Rocco is looking for a single person, couple, or family of adults that will be able to go slow with him as he can be fearful / nervous ~ Rocco would do best in a house type home rather than an apartment as he does like to sing ~ He will need to be signed up for training prior to going into his fur-ever home to ensure he works on his confidence
Explanation of Behaviours: - A very active dog that will need plenty of exercise, training, stimulation and enrichment daily to set him up for success. - Rocco has shown to be nervous and fearful of new people, in new situations and in new environments. His new family will need to work with him on slowly and properly desensitizing him to the world around him as well as with meeting new people. - Rocco has shown to be reactive to people out of fear, discomfort and frustration. He specifically has shown this while in his kennel through a barrier. - Once Rocco is comfortable with somebody he can become very jump and mouthy during play and when excited. - Rocco has shown to have some sound sensitivity. - Rocco can be touch sensitive especially with new people. Rocco will need slow and proper training working on desensitizing him to touch and needs slow introductions to people.
This dog would benefit from: - Active home - A home of all adults - No apartments - Lots of training and socialization - Lots of time and attention - A patient family
Training needs/behaviours that need to be worked with for this dog: - Basic Training - Basic Manners ( Jumping up and mouthing) - Work on reactivity - Socialization / Desensitizing - Confidence Building
**For more information on any behaviours stated above, please check out our behaviour fact sheet: https://kwsphumane.ca/BehavioursandDefinitions
**Please remember that animals are coming back from foster care to the centres for their meet and greets. They will be experiencing a new environment and meeting new people, which means they may not exhibit the same behaviours they did in their foster videos or while in foster care.

Come into the Centre and if you see a pet you like, you are able to do a "Meet and Greet" with that pet. Spend some time in alone with the pet or take a dog out for a short walk. If you are still interested in adopting the pet you can meet with one of our Adoption Counsellors who will have you fill out and application and will ask you some questions about the environment in which you live. If you seem like a wonderful match and your envirnoment meets the needs of the pet then your application should be approved!
