My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hi! My name is Rocco I am a big boy who is about 6 months old and weighs about 45lbs. I will be a pretty big guy when I am fully grown! I was born outside in Kentucky with my brother, Hudson and sister, Mazie Mae. We were always kept outside and never loved. In fact, our owners wanted to shoot us! But Angels on Wheels wouldn't let that happen! We were brought here and put in a home for the first time ever. How strange it was to have something soft and warm to lay on! I show how grateful I am to my foster family by giving them big kisses!
I love to play with tennis balls and chew on my toys. I am doing pretty good with potty training but I'm still trying to figure out how to let my foster mom know when I need to go out. Since I was never around people and just trying to survive on my own, I am a little shy around people at first. But when I warm up, I really love tummy rubs. I am a very calm quiet boy who just wants to be loved. I hear that there is something better than a foster home. It's called a forever home! I can't wait to get mine! I hear that someone will adopt me and love me forever. Could it be you? If you are interested in adopting me, fill out an application at angelsonwheels.org. If you are a good match for me, you can meet me at my foster mom's home in SE Aurora, IL. I can't wait to meet you!
PLEASE NOTE THAT BREED, AGE, AND SIZE AT MATURITY ARE ONLY GUESSES!
Applicants wishing to adopt a dog or puppy are carefully screened prior to adoption. Please complete our detailed pre-adoption questionnaire located at http://www.angelsonwheels.org and provide references to be considered for adoption. Once references have been checked and the applicants are approved, subject to satisfactory references, you will be able to schedule a meet and greet with the foster family.
The adoption fee of $300.00 includes the spay/neuter, microchip, up to date for Distemper-Adenovirus-Parainfluenza-Parvo, heartworm tested/lyme tested age appropriate, rabies vaccinated if over 4 months, dewormed with panacur, treated with Revolution or Front-Line Plus along with any other medical needs. You will also receive a free office visit to Crest Hill Cat and Dog Clinic, Yorkville Animal Hospital, Midwest Animal Hospital in Orland Park, Wheaton Animal Hospital, and Woodridge Animal Hospital, as well as a training dvd, and tons of coupons for Petco, and a coupon for Central Bark Doggie Daycare: 10% off a purchase of a ten visit daycare package.
Please note that we are a foster based rescue and do not have a facility, which means all of our animals are cared for in homes of wonderful people who have volunteered their time to help save them.
Thank you for looking at our rescued animals and wanting to give them a wonderful home.
