Rocko's Story...
Rocko - 20130104

Hello there! My name is Rocko and I'm a 1 1/2 year old, 78 lb., tan & white Labrador Retriever mix. I'm looking for my new forever home. My last home I was very happy, but the landlord changed the rules, so I had to leave. I am housebroken and I am learning to walk on a leash. I have lived with a large family including men, women and children, ages 1 yrs. to 11 yrs., and love to be with people. I like toys, especially chew toys. Sometimes I'm a little shy around new people and places but I warm up quickly. I'm not a big fan of water but will tolerate a bath and I may try to get out of the tub. I also have not had too many car rides, so I'm a tad scared and I have to be picked up and loaded in the car to go for a ride. I have lived with another male dog and we had lots of fun together. My previous home was fully carpeted so I am VERY scared of tile floors. I usually sleep on the floor, but have known to snooze on the couch from time to time. If you're looking for your new best friend, please come visit me!

Why Adoption is a Great Option

Rocko, a Englewood Labrador Retriever dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Labrador Retriever for sale in Englewood, or seeking a Labrador Retriever dog from a breeder in Englewood.

  1. Rescues and shelter volunteers in Englewood already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
  2. On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Englewood breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
  3. You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Labrador Retriever breeders who help with Labrador Retriever rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Englewood paves the way for another one to be saved.
