My story

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


Location: Bergen, NY

Rocco is a sweet boy who loves being the center of attention! He loves to snuggle, and if you let him on the couch or in bed with you, he will automatically be your best friend. He loves to play tug of war with toys and rip their squeakers and fluff out. He also enjoys running around outside chasing the birds in the sky, squirrels up the trees, or bunnies under the fence. He has a high prey drive and would do best in a home with no small pets. He’s lived with another dog, but it’s the only dog he’s gotten along with. Would suggest being the only pet in the home, but could try a meet and greet. He’s approximately 7-8 years old, and has no health issues. 

Rocco is reactive when he’s being held back on leash and would thrive with someone who can work with him. He’s responded well to training in the past and would thrive with someone who can offer some structure/routine. He is highly food driven and will do just about anything for treats.

We suggest a home with no small children as he doesn’t seem to care for them, or if they get attention over him. 

Rocco is truly a good and loving boy and he would make a great best friend to anyone in need of one! He is loyal and will always have your back. He will love you unconditionally.

Rocco is neutered and up to date on vaccines. He is currently located in Bergen, NY. For more information, please contact board@acdra.org.

More about this rescue

We are an all volunteer group that rescues Australian Cattle Dogs. Our dogs reside in foster homes until they are adopted
Every year, thousands of Australian Cattle Dogs find themselves homeless through no fault of their own. Although the reasons are diverse, the result is the same. Healthy, adoptable dogs face euthanasia in shelters.

The Australian Cattle Dog Rescue Association rescues ACDs in shelters from Maine to Georgia and gives these dogs a fresh start with a loving family. Our foster home volunteers welcome the dogs into their homes where they live as members of the family. During the time in foster care, our volunteers determine what kind of forever home will be the right one for each dog.
