My story

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

Meet Rocco — the Sweetest Soul Looking for a Fresh Start



 



Approx. 5 years old • 40 lbs • Breed Mix? We just call him perfect



 



Rocco’s story begins in an abandoned rental home, where he was found alongside his small family. Despite everything he’s been through, he carries a gentle heart and a quiet hope for a safer, happier life.



 



Rocco is a naturally timid and shy boy, but once he feels safe, his sweetness shines. HE DOES NEED ANOTHER DOG IN THE HOME to help build uo



confirdnce! He rarely makes a sound (yes—he doesn’t bark at all!) and prefers a calm environment that matches his own peaceful energy.



 



Why is Rocco the perfect companion:



 



Cuddly and calm — He loves being close and will happily snooze next to you all day.



Great on walks — Easy, polite, and a joy to stroll with.



Potty trained — No accidents in the house



A+ coworker — Quiet, respectful, and just wants to be near you while you work.



Dog-friendly — Gentle with dogs of all sizes.



Soft-hearted sweetheart — Friendly, gentle, and slowly blooming with joy as he learns the world can be safe again.



Food-motivated and learning — Working on commands and eager to please.



Will be neutered on 01/15 and microchipped!



Rocco has been through more than any dog should, yet he remains a complete sweetheart with a spark of happiness that peeks through when he realizes he is safe. He 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, loving home to a gentle pup who’s ready to start over, Rocco is waiting for you.

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.
