Why I need a new home

Does not get along with other pet

My story

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


Seeking a new, loving home for Rocco. Rocco will be 3 in May (est DOB 5/2023).

Rocco is a rescue who gets along with most other dogs. He is typically submissive by nature, and has taken corrections well from the alpha. He doesn't like male dogs who are larger than him and who show dominance.

He is happy-go-lucky, gregarious, and full of energy. He thrives with regular exercise. He can jump a 4’ fence, so needs to be leashed at all times, or reside in a home with a 6’ fence. He loves to run freely, but needs to work on his recall.

Rocco is intelligent, but can also be goofy and stubborn. He lacks awareness of personal space. Rocco is HIGHLY treat motivated. Food is his love language. He knows “sit” and “down,” and is working on “wait” and “come.”

He has a high prey drive. Favorite outdoor past times include chasing squirrels and rabbits, and hunting and dispatching mice and voles.

Rocco loves affection , cuddling and sleeping with his people. He tries to be the big spoon.
