Story
🚨ISO: Wrestling Buddy, Cuddle Enthusiast, Snack Distributor 🚨 Meet Rocko – 56.5 pounds of pure charm, muscle, and mischief wrapped in a pit bull/medium mystery mix. At 4 years old, this guy is in his prime—think of him as the dog version of a chill gym bro who just wants to vibe, play, and occasionally sit on your lap like he's a 10 lb chihuahua. 🐾 What Rocko brings to the table: House-trained? ✔️ Knows “sit,” “high five,” AND “leave it”? ✔️✔️✔️ (Yes, he’s smarter than your ex.) Loves cuddling? You better believe it. He’s basically a weighted blanket with a heartbeat. Dog-friendly with big dogs? Absolutely! He’s here for the WWE backyard edition of tug-of-war. Kid-friendly with older kids? Yep—he’s just not into tiny humans who move like squirrels. Cat tested? Eh… not yet. He might think they’re weird tiny roommates or mysterious snacks. Who’s to say? Rocko would THRIVE in a home with a big fenced yard and a fellow big dog to wrestle with. No dog? No problem—as long as you’re down to play and dish out snuggles like it’s your job. 💸 Adoption Fee: $250 📍 Currently living it up in a foster home 🗓️ Intake Date: 11/17/2022 (he’s been waiting a while… let’s not make him wait until flying cars are real) Apply now to adopt this handsome hunk. He’s got the looks, the personality, and the high-fives—he’s just missing a forever family to show off for.
