My story

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

Erlyn Lavery

Rocco is a soft-hearted and loving puppy. He will welcome you with bright brown eyes that see into your soul, the biggest goofy smile, and with a tail that wags like he is salsa dancing. He loves to play fetch and tug-of-war, and is the only dog that I know who will keep himself entertained with a tennis ball, throwing it up and bouncing it as if he invented his own little game. His fur may be short, but it feels super soft as you pet him and rub his belly. He learns quickly and has mastered commands such as "sit, down, paw, stay, come, and bring it (when playing fetch)." He is comfortable around other dogs, cats, and people, and he will likely extend a curious sniff or lick at first he will share chew toys and play cordially. He loves going on walks and tolerates a "gentle leader" leash well, and is well-behaved at passing cars or other dog-walkers. He is potty-trained and will either ring a bell or scratch at the door to let you know he has to go outside, and he is crate trained as long as you offer him a little treat to go in. All-in-all, Rocco will be an outstanding and devoted best-friend, and we should all be lucky enough to spend time with him. I know I am.

Rocco is a good boy, over a year old, neutered, and vetted.  Rocco is 65 lbs. He rarely bark, house and crate trained, and  confident enough to explore, happy to greet new people and kids with kisses, but also like to stick by his owners side.  He has been with small cats, but will chase if cats run.
