My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Introducing Rocko, the shy and reserved pup who may just need a little extra love and patience to come out of his shell! While he may be timid and prefer to keep his distance, Rocko does have a soft spot for chicken treats, showing a glimmer of curiosity and potential for forming a bond. In the yard, he spends his time exploring and sniffing around, trying to avoid any unnecessary attention. Not a fan of toys, Rocko seems to be feeling the stress of his current situation. Despite this, Rocko is a gentle soul who simply needs time and understanding to feel comfortable and secure in his new home. With a little patience, this sweet dog has the potential to blossom into a loyal and loving companion.
