Rocco FH's Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.NEW FOSTER UPDATE:Rocco loves stuffed toys. When we let him out of his crate, he dashes out only to rush back to retrieve his wubby as we call them. Sometimes he sits in his crate with his wubby in his mouth waiting for us. I caught a picture of him even going potty with it in his mouth. Which was hysterical. He doesn’t tear anything. He is so gentle. He is crated when we are away but his favorite place all other times is the couch. He is still leash reactive to other dogs on a walk but I think he is getting a little better. A front clip harness has greatly decreased the pulling. We met our children and 2 year old grandson. Our grandson wanted to walk Rocco. So I gave him the end of the leash and I held the middle. Rocco did really well with him. He listens very well. He waits to eat until permitted. He sits while his harness is hooked. So he is very trainable.<br/>Meet Rocco!<br/>Rocco is a handsome, affectionate and cuddly 5-year-old Lab Retriever/Terrier mix looking for a loving forever home after his owner was arrested. We rescued him from Orange County shelter.<br/>A few things to know about Rocco:<br/><br/>Appears well socialized and gets along with all. He even allows his teeth to be brushed.<br/>With a slow/proper introduction, Rocco does well with the foster’s yorkie and hound dogs as well as their cat.<br/>He wants to be next to you and loves cuddling on a couch or a cushy chair.<br/>Goes outside to potty, but not energetic in the yard. Loves car rides and travels nicely.<br/>Likes walks but pulls in his eagerness at beginning of a walk. His front hook harness lessens pull. He needs consistent training and a strong owner.<br/>He is intelligent and food motivated, which makes training so much easier.<br/>He is learning to play less roughly; it is best there are no small children in the home that he could knock down when playing..<br/>Be prepared for a happy doggie welcome whenever you return home from errands.<br/><br/>Special care:<br/><br/>Since Rocco has atopic dermatitis, he will just need a medication called NUMELVI and regular calming baths to keep him comfortable.<br/>But not to worry...this amazing boy sits nicely for his bath, ear cleaning , etc. He is such a well-behaved dog.<br/><br/>Rocco’s ideal home will be one where he is slowly introduced to any pets in the home, no small children, where he spends time next to his humans, naps on cushy furniture, an owner who will attend to his dermatitis as well as be willing to refine his play and walking skills. In return, you will have the most incredibly loving and sweet companion.
