My story

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


Rocko is a red tri Australian Shepherd who will turn 6 years old in March. Originally from Arkansas, he’s the perfect mix of sweet and spirited — a little wild sometimes, but in that fun, lovable Aussie way. Rocko is loyal, incredibly smart, and very attentive.

He’s been around small children annd other dogs and does great with them, though he hasn’t lived with other animals. True to his breed, he loves swimming, hiking, and any kind of outdoor adventure.

The only reason for rehoming is that our little one has severe allergies to both cats and dogs, which trigger eczema and asthma. It’s been heartbreaking for both of them because they adore each other, but Rocko deserves a home where he can be free and live his full Aussie life.

Due to a family medical situation, we are on a timeline to find Rocco a suitable home by the end of January.
