My story

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

Rocco is our first Shelter to Scholar pup - training sponsored by The Better Companion. Speak with staff to learn more!

Rocco is a sensitive, loving boy who just wants to be close to his people. Once he warms up to you, he’s incredibly affectionate, snuggly, and happiest curled up by your side, especially at bedtime!
Rocco can be a little unsure when meeting new people, so he’ll need slow introductions and a patient home that understands he just needs time to feel safe. In the shelter, he’s shown how wonderful he is — looking to people for comfort and quickly forming strong bonds.
He’s done well with other dogs when introduced properly but would do best in a home without cats or small animals, as his prey drive takes over when they run from him. Rocco appears to be potty trained and has been well-behaved in the shelter, though his previous family mentioned he could be a bit destructive when left alone. Crate training helped him feel secure and keep him safe while his people are away!
Rocco is a loyal, tender-hearted companion who’s ready to find a home that will give him the love, structure, and comfort he deserves
