My story

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

Meet Rocco



 



Rocco is Zac’s father, a 5-year-old, 40-pound sweetheart who has been through more than any dog should. He was found locked in a rental house with his son, daughter, and their mom — abandoned and left confused, scared, and unsure of humans again.



 



But despite everything, Rocco’s spirit is still warm.



He’s friendly, gentle, and has a spark of happiness that peeks through when he realizes he’s safe. He has some leash manners already, and with a little patience, he’ll be an easy companion to walk and train.



 



Rocco’s personality:



• 5 years old, ~40 lbs



• Friendly, happy, and eager for kindness



• Needs time to rebuild trust in people



• Has some leash manners



• Overwhelmed by the shelter environment



 



Rocco is doing his best, but the loud, crowded shelter is hard on him. He’s a sensitive, loving dog who just wants a calm home where he can feel secure again. With gentle reassurance, he’ll blossom into the loyal, affectionate companion he wants so badly to be.



 



Rocco deserves a family who will show him that the world isn’t scary — that he matters, and that love is real.



If you can offer a safe place for a sweet dad who’s ready to start over, Rocco is waiting for you.



 



Adopt or foster Rocco, and give him the soft landing he’s been longing for.

More about this rescue

Here at Cross Your Paws Rescue, we are driven by a single goal; to save lives. We are doing our part in making the world a better place for all pets. Our decision to start a rescue is not one that we have taken lightly, it has come after years of volunteer work with other groups. Our goal is to make this world a place where starving, abused animals is a thing of the past. That shelters filled with dogs and cats waiting to be euthanized is unheard of. We want euthanasia to be something to help pets on their way to the Rainbow bridge not to end lives because of overpopulation. We vow to save every life that we can. Please help us make this world a better place for every furbaby.
