Story
Meet Rocko!Rocko is the perfect mix of energetic goofball and professional cuddle buddy! He loves to play and is a pro at fetch, but he’s equally happy climbing into your lap for some quality snuggle time. Affection is his love language, and he gives it freely. He’s house trained, neutered, great on a leash, and an excellent co-pilot in the car, making him the perfect adventure partner. Rocko will happily head into his kennel for a treat or enrichment toy, though he’s still working on his patience while inside. After all, he’d much rather be hanging out with his people.Rocko is 7 years YOUNG and still has plenty of pep in his step and a playful spark that keeps life interesting.Rocko’s perfect match is a family ready to shower him with all the love and attention he deserves! Cats are not considered friends in Rocko’s book, and he is very particular about other dogs. He prefers to be the star of the show! An only pet household would be preferred. Rocko tends to bond quickest with women and would do best with patient, slower introductions to men so he can build trust at his own pace. Once he feels comfortable, Rocko is a loyal, loving companion who’s ready to soak up all the affection from his people.He has been working on his manners as well and has been doing fantastic with what he learned during his training! Rocko will need a patient pet parent who understands his needs and is willing to provide a safe space in this new chapter of his life.If you’re looking for a fun loving, affectionate, slightly squishy sidekick who will keep you laughing, Rocko might just be your guy!Apply to adopt Rocko here: https://form.jotform.com/261546594783168Please note- Rocko is being fostered in Memphis, TN.
