Rocco has spent his entire life (8 or so years) as the stud dog in a puppy mill. That lifestyle has taken it's toll on him. Rocco has one ear that is scarred, and permanently bent down. He also had surgery a few months ago to remove his eye. Rocco had horrible tooth decay, and as a result, is missing many teeth on one side of his mouth. Even with all these disadvantages, Rocco is very sweet. He likes his people, and with a 1, 2, 3, will let you pick him up.
Rocco needs a very special home to retire too. He likes other dogs, and wouldn't mind having a friend or two around, as long as they are gentle and don't expect him to run and play. He's never lived with kids, and would be best in an all adult home. Rocco would be a great companion for an older couple or person who doesn't want to have to take daily walks or be terribly active.
Starting off rehabilitating Wolves, Raccoons, and other wild animals, Pet Projects now focuses on the Dogs and Cats that need help in our community. Occasionally squirrels and racoons find their way here for rehabilitation. These wildlife babies are never placed for adoption as pets, and are released into a natural habitat when they are old enough.
As Pet Projects is owned and operated by just one person, phone calls are answered more promptly than emails. Email access is very limited, so you may receive reply message to please call instead. Thanks for your understanding!
