My name is Rocco!

Meet Rocco!

Rocco is a 4 month old hound mix who was pulled as part of "Angel Retreat's ACCT's of love program. With this program we use funds raised by generous donors to pull dogs from a very high volume, under funded, and under staffed urban kill shelter in our local area. Rocco was scheduled to be euthanized, but we were able to step in and give her a chance at a happy ending.

Sadly, many dogs just as sweet as Rocco are not as lucky and euthanized daily. If you don't understand, please take a trip to any high kill city shelter and see just how many AMAZING dogs are dying every single day, due to no other reason than lack of homes. If you adopt from a smaller rescue such as ours, you are still helping save these kinds of dogs by opening up a space at our rescue to be able to pull them and find them a loving home in whatever amount of time it takes.

Rocco was originally found tied to a pole in Philadelphia where he was abandoned and left to fight for himself. He is a very silly boy and loves to give kisses, and snuggle with anyone willing to sit with him. He will make a wonderful dog for any family looking for a lover!
