Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hello! My name is Rocco and I am a 13 years young. My former owner dumped me at a kill shelter because I could no longer hold my potty for 10 hours. Shame on them as they too will be a senior one day! They also didn’t teach me the best of manners but my foster mom and dad say that I am good at sitting, laying down, and staying when I want to listen. I’m a little picky about my food because I want people food! It just smells so good to me and I will definitely let you know!
I am still trying to figure everything out in my foster home, so I will need someone who is patient and able to let me do my potty outside and not have to hold it for so many hours. By the way I have not had one single accident in my foster home so there! You definitely won’t think I am 13 because I am full of spunk and love to run and play. I get super excited when I meet new people but calm down once I know them a bit more. I have an 11 year old foster human brother that I like to play with and snuggle a bit sometimes too. I have played nicely with other dogs my size but my foster brother is a big huge American Bulldog and sometimes I try to show him that I am tough. I’d probably be best with no big dogs but would do fine with guys and girls my own size. I’m stubborn at times and will let you know if I don’t want to do something but really I just want to be loved. I love belly rubs and getting scratched behind my ears. Won’t you give me a place I can call my own?
Love Rocco
