Rocco Labrador Retriever & Rottweiler Mix Northville, MI

Arrival story: Rocco found himself homeless, so Waggin' Tails promised we'd find him a family who will keep him forever.

Approximate age / weight: 1 year / 75 lbs

Personality: Rocco is a good natured boy who is so happy to be off the streets and living the good life in his foster home. He is very affectionate and enjoys being with people. He lives with other dogs and gets along well with them. He also lives with cats and finds them very curious, but he doesn't chase. Rocco is a young boy with a lot of energy. He loves to go for walks, wade in the river, play with and chew on his toys, and he's always up for a car ride! He loves to play with his dog pals, too, when they are willing and up for his goofy antics. Rocco is already house and crate trained, walks well on a leash and knows some basic commands like sit, shake, down and come. He appears to be a very well-rounded boy who would make a great family companion.

Forever home: Rocco would do well in a variety of family situations. He has a lot of energy and playfulness so an active family is a must. He would do well as an only dog since he loves being with people, but would also do well with a canine playmate. Rocco does not currently live with children, but due to his size and energy level, older children would be best.

Waggin' Tails Adoption Information: Waggin' Tails Dog Rescue has a standard adoption fee of $225 for adult dogs. Different adoption fees apply for older dogs, small breeds and puppies - $125 for senior dogs, $275 for small breed dogs and $250 for puppies, plus a $50 deposit which is returned upon proof of spay/neuter at six months of age. Our adoption process includes an application, vet reference checks, and a home visit.
We do not have a facility; all of our dogs are fostered in private homes. To view our dogs, please check www.waggintailsdogrescue.org for the dates of our next adoption events. To meet a dog in person, please see our event calendar for the latest information. Arrangements can be made to meet our rescue dogs outside of Saturday adoption events after an approved application is submitted (the application does not imply an obligation by the applicant or by the rescue group).
Please be kind to our volunteers who have made rescue a second job that they do in their spare time after coming home from full-time jobs. E-mail inquiries will be answered much more quickly than phone inquiries; our phone number is a voice mailbox only.
Thank you for your support of rescue and your interest in a rescue dog!
