Meet Rocco!! This is one of the five Italian litter. They were in the shelter in Mississippi and needed our asap!! We took them and their mom into safety so they would be safe and could grow in a safe place. These pups are all different, as the mom was with with different fathers for sure.
Rocco just a little fuzzy boy. He has a gentle spirit, and just a little derp-y. Pretty pretty man. He is a quiet guy but does enjoy to play and he does have legs that are shorter kinda like a dachshund like his mom. Rocco
does enjoy his bones and toys, but will also chill out as well. Fetching Hearts Rescue requires all adopters to go to training with puppies. This is the most important time for them to learn. We also require that they will not be left alone more than 2-3 hours a day. Puppies are a lot of work and require tons of attention, time and dedication. We take our pups very seriously!!

More about this rescue
Fetching Hearts Rescue is a non-profit 501(c)(3), volunteer run rescue that is dedicated to saving dogs who have been abused, neglected or abandoned and finding loving, caring homes for them.
We rely on a network of foster families so that each dog that we pull into the safety of our rescue is placed in a foster home and is no longer confined to a life in a kennel.
We are committed to helping dogs of all ages, breeds and sizes by partnering with shelters and animal control services right here in Connecticut as well as with several high kill shelters in the South.
We do a full assessment of each dog's temperament and health to ensure that we are able to find the most suitable home for them. Every dog is fully vetted - meaning they are up to date on vaccinations, spayed/neutered, heartworm negative and micro chipped - before being adopted.
The ASPCA estimates that approximately 3.3 million dogs in the United States enter shelters each year, of which approximately 670,000 are euthanized*. Our goal is to advocate for and provide education about the need for spaying and neutering to eliminate what has become an epidemic of unwanted dogs.*
