Why I need a new home

Fostered

My story

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


This is Rocco, he was abandoned as a pup in Rock Creek Park and was rescued by a woman in 2024. This woman then went into hospice and passed soon after so we fostered him to keep him out of the kill shelters of the area.

He is a loving giant puppy with a ton of energy and in need of a loving home that is ready for a dog who wants to rip and run with you, play in the water hose, and be the center of your attention.
He has met other dogs before to loud but not aggressive reactions, hand he loves to chew on his toys and he loves walks and games of chase and fetch.

Our family just wasnt home enough to keep him permanently and we want him to be happy, so if your a loving family that wants a ready to be trained German Shepard with a heart of gold, meet Rocco!
