My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Rocco is a 7 year old, neutered male rat terrier who weighs about 9 pounds. He is as sweet as they come and will make a wonderful companion. He came to us from a local animal control where he was brought in as a stray and stayed for a month waiting for his owner to come and get him.... but no one ever came. He loves companionship - human, canine, and feline. We would love to see him adopted into a family with another dog or cat that would play and cuddle with him. He is very quiet so he would do well in an apartment, condo or townhome situation. He is potty trained and is crated while his foster mom is at work. He loves his belly rubs and his little nub of a tail is always wagging. We really can’t say enough good things about this little man- he is absolutely amazing and any family would be lucky to adopt him. If you are looking for a companion, a lap warmer, a play mate, an entertainer, a walking buddy… please consider meeting Rocco. Rocco is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, heartworm tested, dewormed, and microchipped. His adoption fee is $200.
