Why I need a new home

Does not get along with other pet

My story

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


Rocco is about 1.5 yrs old. He was a court case/ removed from a neglectful home. He spent 4 months at the Dekalb County Animal Shelter. We adopted him with the understanding that he was dog and kid friendly. However we were not sure if he was good with cats. Unfortunately, after 4 months of trying to desensitize him from our 3 cats, including training sessions in home and on site thru K-9 pHD, we have realized that we are unable to remove the prey drive out of him. He is otherwise very sweet. He is also high energy. He would be a great fit for someone with another dog (although we have struggled finding him a playmate that can handle his level of enthusiasm), a yard and kids to play with.
