Rocco's Story

Hi, my name is Rocco,<br/><br/>Male - neutered<br/>Basenji Mix<br/>Approx. 2 years old<br/><br/>I'm a pretty friendly guy when it comes to meeting new people. Adults, I'm your new best friend! I'm still on the fence about kids, though-so maybe we can figure that out together?<br/><br/>I eat at a nice, normal pace, savouring every bite like the gourmet meal it is. And speaking of savouring, treats are my ultimate motivator! Want me to sit, stay, or fetch? Just show me a yummy snack, and I'm all ears. I am quite playful with toys too, so if you're ready for some fun, I'm your pup!<br/><br/>I'll admit, my leash skills need a little polish. I might not be the most graceful walker on the block, but hey, that's where you come in! We can work on that together.<br/><br/>When it comes to other four-legged pals, I've got potential! With a little guidance and patience, I'll be ready to mingle with dogs and cats alike. I'm a social butterfly in the making!<br/><br/>I've got the basics down when it comes to obedience, so we're starting off on the right paw! I enter and exit kennels like a pro, but my crate and car ride skills are still a little mysterious. I'm ready for adventures with you, though-let's discover the world together!<br/><br/>So, if you're looking for a pup with a big heart and a playful spirit, I might just be the one for you.

Georgina Animal Shelter and Adoption Centre's Adoption Policy
We at the Georgina Animal Shelter strive to find the best possible outcomes for the homeless cats and dogs that enter our care care. The majority of pets we receive have no known medical or behaviour histories. Each pet is continually assessed throughout its time in our care. All pets receive an individualized animal welfare plan including spaying/neutering, vaccinations, anti-parasitic treatments, nutritional plan and any other medical treatments or behvaiour modifications deemed necessary. Temperament and personality assessments allow us to better match pets with potential adopters. Completing a detailed adoption questionnaire helps to ensure that we are matching perspective adopters with the pet that is best suited to their home environment and lifestyle. We want each adoption to be a success and pride ourselves in providing a transparent and thorough adoption process. To ensure adoption compatibility, follow up calls and/or emails are provided to each adopter to ensure that the transition of their new pet into their home is successful. If you would like to inquire about a pet that is available for adoption, contact us at 1-800-898-8606 or email us at animal-control@georgina.ca to learn more. Adoption Fees: Cats $175 + HST Dogs $300 + HST In addition the purchase of a license is required for all dogs being adopted within the municipalities we serve and for cats residing in the town of Newmarket and Aurora. **Prices vary** Cats: https://www.petfinder.com/pet-search?animal=cat&shelter_id=ON53 Dogs: https://www.petfinder.com/pet-search?animal=dog&shelter_id=ON53 We believe in advocating for responsible pet ownership and the life long commitment of pet adoption. Every pet deserves a safe, warm and loving home.
