Rocco - Adopted!

Miniature Pinscher, Chihuahua [Mix]

Small Young Male Dog Pet ID: Chocolate MinPin!

I've been adopted! See more pets like me.

More About Rocco

Rocco is an adorable, coltish chocolate MinPin mix. We're not sure exactly what he's mixed with-- he's got the long muzzle and body of a Dachshund (but he's tall) has the Minpin ears and color, but a curly tail like a Pug! Whatever he is, he's an adorable, loveable little mutt with big brown soulful eyes, floppy ears and the cutest pink nose. We like to call him Batman, because he almost looks like he's wearing a mask.

Rocco can be a bit aggressive at first, but once he gets to know you, he's a total love! He has a lot of energy and will hug you with his two front legs and nuzzle your face instead of giving a kiss, look deep into your eyes, snuggle on your knee and wiggle his body to make you laugh.

Rocco is about 2 years old, weighs 10 pounds, and would do best in a home with either a submissive dog or where he is the only dog.

Rocco needs someone with Chi or MinPin experience as he's very Alpha and strong willed (he's still a very energetic puppy and needs a firm but tender hand).

To adopt Rocco, please fill out an application at www.waggytailrescue.com and email it tojenni@waggytailrescue.com.
