Why I need a new home

Behavioral issues

My story

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


We adopted Rocco in January of 2024. He is sweet and loving, has a ton of energy, and unfortunately is unpredictable to us in the way he responds to discipline. He can become hyper-focused. When attempts are made to redirect, he sometimes responds aggressively. He has bitten my wife on several occasions. He does not respond to me in this manner. However, because of this unpredictable nature, we are not able to keep Rocco as we have a grandchild who is less than a year old and we cannot trust Rocco to be around him. I would love for Rocco to have a home with an owner who is able to train him properly and is able to give him the proper amount of exercise and discipline that he needs in order to live a happy life. Our lifestyle is not one that allows for us to manage his high degree of energy, nor are we able to predict his reactions. For this reason, I am seeking to rehome Rocco as soon as possible.
